Pie Iron You Say?


Bonfire season has arrived! As much as I love s'mores, one thing always exceeds my expectations: pie irons. What is a pie iron you say? Well, my West Virginia roots speak loudly with this one. A pie iron is literally a sandwich that you toast in a bonfire. It's the poor man's pie, pizza, or whatever great recipe you create. I've been making pie iron recipes since I was old enough to roast marshmallows. Fun fact: pie iron, according to my family, is one word. I think I was 18 when I realized it was two words. (Sad truth.)

Pronunciation: Thanks to my grandma, Barbara Mason; brother, Luke Mason; mom, Linda Mason; and pap, Ronnie Mason. I wish I had a video so y'all can see how confused my grandpa was when I asked him to say pie iron.

The recorded pronunciation

How to cook: Build a campfire. Butter the bread or spray the iron with cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan. Add filling between the slices. Place the pie iron in the fire for about two and a half minutes depending on the fire's temperature. Check the pie. Flip the iron and cook for another two and a half minutes. It should be done. Use a knife to peel the pie (sandwich) from the iron and enjoy!

    In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

    Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

    These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

    Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

    The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

    Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

    We are all more than just one sign.

    What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

    The Importance Of Being A Good Person

    An open letter to the good-hearted people.

    Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

    We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
