[Sca-cooks] Rant: And speaking of cooking equipment...

[Vitaliano Vincenzi]

Actually, that isn't true either. We have a local coffee house that 
sells nice stainless steel pans, which are not top quality but still 
very nice, and very expensive, as in $250 for a 12 inch skillet. And the 
proprietor there HAS made the comment that it is an expensive hobby, to 
which I had no comment - I will return later when I win the lottery to 
buy the nice pan. :)
