That is so right. When my hubby forgets to 'ASK' and 'TELLS' me to get him something, I remind him quickly about the cast-iron skillet sitting on my stove. When he ask for something, I will crawl over broken glass to get it for him and he knows it. I must add that that works in the reverse as well. Mutual respect and courtesy goes a long way.
I have a couple old cast iron skillets, they are more mine than my wife's, though she likes them too...for frying fish, nothing beats a well seasoned cast iron skillet.
