BD overall is associated with excess mortality from both natural and unnatural causes. Meta-analytic evidence suggests that all-cause mortality is approximately doubled, with particularly high relative risks for suicide (12-fold) and other unnatural causes (7-fold) alongside a substantial increase in natural-cause deaths (2-fold).9 However, most mortality studies have not separated BD-II from BD-I, leaving BD-II’s […]
Another quiet Saturday and thoughts turn to retirement (again). Today I thought about retirement income streams and how life would look once I stopped working. We need to find someplace affordable. In California, Hawaii, and Massachusetts, retirees often need between $1.5 million and $2.2 million to maintain their lifestyles, according to a 2026 study by […]

You season a cooking pot?
Personally, no. I once owned an iron skillet that I was attempting to season until someone washed it. Both of my woks are unseasoned.
I don’t understand. What is seasoning a pot or pan or skillet?
Seasoning a pot/pan/wok involves heating cooking oil at the beginning, wiping away excess oil, and allow the wok to cool. Once you start cooking food in the wok, you never use soap and water to clean it. You wipe out the food particles, add oil, wipe again, then store away for the next use.
I think that’s how my late friend used to treat her cast iron skillet.
After multiple uses, the wok develops a coating of oils and adds flavor to any future meals cooked in the wok. It never gets washed.
Isn’t that a breeding ground for bacteria?
I think the heat would kill the pathogens
Of course!
