Okay, you's done ask fer it, here is the story, how the events unfolded to where I actually managed to hit my own self with a cast iron skillet. First off I like to cook.... A lot. One of the things I like to cook is chicken fried steak, fried catfish or shrimp, and the homemade onion rings. I think in this case it was the huge batch of homemade onion rings that was the culprit in this event as It resulted in having a skillet full of grease after the cooking was over.
The second thing that started the whole messed up ordeal was that I could not just dump the grease anywhere since the Heeler dog Ming has a pancreas condition so she cannot have fat.... Not much at all. ( yes neighbors that hated her could throw bacon or Velveeta over the fence and kill pup in one fell swoop.... Shhhhhh) so I could not dump the grease outside, pup would eat it, I could drive it 13 miles and dump it in a trash can in town.... Nah... Don't want grease inside my jeep, sooo I can't put it down the drain..... We have a septic system, usually I save a coffee can and put it in there and dump it in the trash right before the trash truck gets here, but it left already, ughhhhh , I could put it and the veggie scraps in the mulch bin..... Okay so grease is not supposed to go into the garden mulch bin. But just that once I did it anyway, I marched my cast iron skillet outside full of grease and veggie scraps and dumped it in the tall mulch bin. Then I had to put the door back on the mulch bin but that took two hands and I had to put the skillet down and Ming of course followed me every step of the way.
I could not put the pan on the ground because it still had enough grease residue to make the dog sick so I put the pan where she can't get it..... ON TOP of the ROLLY mulch bin. The door attatched with hinges and latches so I finally got that back on. My husband drives up with groceries or something so I got distracted and forgot about the skillet.
Well a couple days later I cannot find that skillet, searched everywhere, cooked without it, looked some more, then I brought more veggie scraps out to the big tall rolling mulch bin. I put the hinged and latched door back on and grabbed the spin crank on the side an spun as hard as I could .... Only to be whacked right in the forehead with the missing cast iron skillet. Right before I seen stars..... I seen my saliva leave my mouth.... Fell forwards onto the ground..... And was momentarily stunned, I was however aware enough to see hazily that my dogs were all standing around me with their collective heads turned sideways, like " "Wow, never seen her do that trick before!". Pain.... Aghhhhh pain..... Cast iron skillets ought to be on the weapons list. That was from one hit, I guarantee it will take someone down if you are really aiming. That was just a free fall from a couple feet that hit me. My head hurt in that spot for a month. Yes everything is bigger in Texas including stupid things you can do to yourself.
