Christmas 2014

Finally after more than 30 years of cooking I got the Le Creuset pot I've always wanted.  And not just one but two!


9 1/2 Quart Oval, 6 1/2 Quart Round, small pot will be a sugar bowl

So far I've made three things in them.  Turkey carcass soup in the big oval, a braised chicken dish in the round and a chicken pasta dish also in the round.  Right now I've got 6 pounds of chuck roast braising in the big oval pot.  Never before have I been able to make two chuck roasts at the same time.
 See?  TWO whole roasts in one pot

And this is what it looks like now:



It smells amazing!  If you want to smell it, click here.
