TODAY on MHTV at 11:30: Sure, picking up Chinese takeout is convenient, but making the same dishes at home is a lot easier than you think — not to mention healthier and cheaper. Cold sesame noodles, a simple celery salad with chili oil and cilantro & my home-style version of kung pao chicken with peanuts are good enough to forget about the delivery guy. More from the show.

    I believe that on one of the shows week of August 22nd, that “Seasoning cast iron skillet” was shown.

    Anyone recall the procedure for seasoning skillet? Would sure appreciate a response…thanks, Jim
