The 39 Steps - my very favorite Hitchcock movie. I know, others will say they prefer North by Northwest or Rear Windows or even The Birds, but I just find The 39 Steps completely captivating and charming at the same time. It’s an old war-time story of spycraft and adventure that still holds up, although the cultural reference are pretty stale at this point.

Going to college in New Orleans, we had a game where everyone had to convince at least one tourist that the river was pronounced MissisSIPPi, but the residents of the state preferred it if you’d say MisSISSippi.

I’m with you. Started working to eliminate Teflon from the kitchen and went full cast iron, but eggs were still a challenge… Until someone turned me on to carbon steel.

It’s lighter (not as light as an aluminum pan with Teflon, but significantly lighter than cast iron) and takes the same abuse and seasoning as cast iron.
