For Christmas this year
I got something...
something I have always wanted.
Something I have swooned over & possibly coveted.
Just possibly.
I told myself when I got my little job at W.S. that I would buy one with my first paycheck- but I didn't. Why? cause I'm a mom & it was Christmas time, silly! But-- don't you worry your pretty little head off- my sweetheart took me shopping & we bought one together. (I have the discount or I'm sure he would have gone in & bought it himself, wink wink.) I brought it home & put it away with the other hidden presents. Just to make sure I didn't peak at it too much and... I didn't take it out until Christmas Eve.
what could it be... you ask?
(the beginnings of Beef Stew)
A Red-LeCreuset-
Enamel Covered-Cast Iron
Dutch Oven
Oh heavenly day
I am so happy to have one!
I am so happy to have one!
What? A pot? What's so great about a pot?
JUST EVERYTHING
Hello?
I've just always wanted one.
There are a lot of copies out there.
But the original-
I have one.
and I like it.
I also got this for Christmas
I happen to love Lucinda Scala Quinn.
She has her own show now (my new favorite show- I watch it EVeryDAY) on the Hallmark Channel. She has three sons & a husband & cooks real food. She has a gift for making real food fast. She understands the importance of family dinner & I like that. It's not just for feeding men & boys. It's about cooking good, economical, family food that's not boring.
guess what pot she cooks with a lot... ?
ya- I got one for Christmas.
Tonight I am making these to go with meatloaf. I make great meatloaf.
One of these days I will include the recipe on the cooking blog.
Another new favorite.I am in love with this spiced chestnut hand lotion.
It smells so good.
It smells just like the store to me.
I used to use the sample every time I worked-
just before I left- so I could smell it all day.
It's on sale right now 1/2 price!
I don't know if they will carry it next year?
They mix it up a lot...
Do you have any new favorite things?

That shuuure is a puurty pot Patsy! Congrats. I have a Lodge which is kind of a knock-off I guess but I like it, maybe I can move up to the big leagues someday. :)
I've never heard of Lucida, but her cooking sounds interesting. Real food that is tasty and doesn't take a lifetime to find the ingredients and then cook pretty quickly is the best. Keep us updated as you try it out.
(please)
I haven't been to our WS in forever and you are making me want to go bad! That lotion sounds yummy.
Blast it--we don't have the Hallmark Channel!
I want one of those too and was looking at them at Wal-Mart with Randy just last night, but even there they cost $70! I don't see that fitting into our budget any time soon, especially since the main reason I want one is to make Michelle's Artisan bread recipe. I have made it successfully in a pot with a lid but the house smelled like burnt plastic from the handles...not good (they didn't melt though).
I hope you'll post some of the good stuff you make with that, and I'd like to see your meatloaf recipe!
