Lots of us use cast iron too for at least some of our cookery.

Me too!  I make several types but generally lighter white ryes as they
match overall best to other uses.

It is Jill.  He's opting for the combined jab after talking with his
Doctor.

I dislike Express Scripts too but that's the one the Military opted to
use for all active and retired vets.  I don't use them for the cheaper
meds as their minimum charge is too high.  CVS is 1.27 for my BP meds.
Express Scripts has a minimum of something like 9$.

The worst part of Express Scripts is the dammed never ending ad for
their incredibly unworkable web site.
