"If you can't cut bread except so

/ couldn't make like his mother
used to make it. 1t was brown
gravy.
Having a good-natured mother
in-law, I asked her and she said:
"You have nothing to make it with"
So she gave me an iron pot and
said: "Get a pot roast and try
your luck" When my husband
tasted it he said: Nov you've got
it. How did you do it?''
There is an iron rooster with an
iron lid, called Dutch oven, which
can be bought in any large store.
1t can be used on top of the stove
