You're ALWAYS so graceful, Luella...

I didn't think you actually use teflon or similar items for yourself, but realized that you were copying the recipe.

I have learned to make do  with safer cookware, but once in a while when making certain things, I wish the non-stick stuff was not so Toxic.   The fact that my birdies could die was the final marker for me.  It's reminescent of the canary in the mine type thing, just because we can't sense it, doesn't mean it can't kill us - yikes!
