Cast Iron Skillet: Kitchen Haiku

Handwritten recipes, cast iron pans and 17 syllables converge in this eater friendly collection of poems and cook's notes.
A box of old handwritten recipes and cast iron pans, unseen and forgotten, released from dark storage after 15 lonely years.
"How long? Oh my, you're going to find treasures," the clerk said.
After the retrieval, the number 17 started floating in my dreams again. Researching what "17" symbolizes (again), I happened to click a site hosting a Kitchen Haiku contest.
Several verses are without recipe, a la carte haiku.
