One of My Childhood Favorite Foods Was Prepared in a One-of-a-Kind Skillet

This baby made the best fried potatoes and onions and the crispiest fried chicken. We used Crisco oil from a tin can back then, which was considered the shit at that time, mostly due to the commercials starring the Brady Bunch mom, Florence Henderson.

What Once Was is No Longer

Nothing ever stays the same because time changes everything. Although the town of Somerfield was torn down, the Great Crossings Bridge was not. It still sits submerged under Youghiogheny Lake.
