I'll take at your word for that and buy some tomorrow at TJ's. :-D

And stainless steel pans work just as well as cast iron if you know what

Speaking of Trader Joe's. I've been munching on a bag of TJ's, "Savory thin
mini rice crackers, multiseed with soy sauce." They are very good and
flavorful but I can't help thinking that they would be better with some soft
cheese as a dip.

I'm very cheese-challenged so I don't know what to try but I'll bet
something would enhance these rice crackers.
