Rocket Rocks!

Define rocket?

1. According to Wikipedia it is a missile, aircraft or other vehicle which obtains thrust by the reaction of the rocket to the ejection of fast moving fluid from a rocket engine.
2. To Malaysians it can be the symbol of the opposition political party - DAP [Democratic Action Party]
3. To a chef rocket can be a type of green salad better known as roquette or Arugula.
   

Fear not as I am not here to preach anything at all about rocket science. But more or less trying to create a starter that rocks. Real easy to make and in no time your guests will be rocking away about your rocket.

I was eyeing cast iron cookware for awhile now and finally it's half price. Therefore without hesitation I bought a 22cm casserole cast iron pot, in burgundy red. Nice :-).
