Mmm, chili. Is Le Creuset really better than, say, cast-iron pots from the hardware store?
It has the really nice porcelain enamel coating, which makes it different from a regular cast iron pot.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

It is. And it rules. I need more of it.

Thrive to spite them
I got a piece for Christmas, it's not a huge pot and it's wonderful. I have another piece of enamel cast iron that's not Le Creuset and it's not the same.
sj - you should tell your Mom Le Creuset is still a good birthday gift idea, one piece just isn't enough.

Nap well, Hil.
What does the enamel coating do? I'm halfway talking myself into getting some, as I have no cast-iron anything right at the moment and miss it.

Happy Birthday Beth!
{{{S & Sean}}} This just sucks. I hope S recuperates quickly.
Feel better, Hil!
With all the serious health issues out there, I feel silly complaining about my upset stomach. But it's my vacation. Everything is supposed to be perfect. On the other hand, I napped in a bed with a sunny window, and don't have to do anything, and there was potentially great news today, so yeah!

ETA: Of course, after I bought it Mom told me she was going to get me one for my birthday.
You know, Le Creuset makes more than one pot. Your mom will just have to get a little creative. Make sure she knows the color to match.

Because books.
I got a piece of Le Creuset as a wedding gift, and I love it. It's a small saucepan with a lid that doubles as a small skillet, and the lid/skillet is perfect for omelets.
Not that I ever *make* the omelets, but Stephen tells me it rocks, and it's a very pretty blue.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Ok, well, I guess I've complained about work too much for a mini-squee to mean anything.
Off to Boise for more drama. I should pack the Fernet.

Yay, Suzi!

This post has been brought to you by the very yummy glass of wine I just had with dinner.

Sorry, Suzi, I rejoiced when I saw your swuee but apparently only in my head and not through my fingers to the keyboard.
I am distracted by trying to figure out how I can get over to sj's to trade pot-lifting services for chili without leaving the couch. It's a conundrum.
