Scrooge and the Dutch Oven

To contact us Click HERE
My 29th birthday is a few weeks away.I'm having some major issues with the whole thing.

Something about coming to terms with my last "20-something" birthday is rather sobering.That and the fact that my life has been completely turned upside down this year (for another time).
Despite outside protestations that my life, in fact, will not be over that day, I can't but help wrinkle my nose and exclaim:Bah! Humbug!source
So in other words, I'm already a crotchety old man (but I still have my hair).It's the beginning of the end people.
I need to start breaking out the wrinkle cream.
What this has to do with a $225 Dutch oven is as good your guess as mine.
But it's my blog, so my prerogative.
nanny-nanny boo-boo.

I'm so mature.

But just cast your eyes on this Le Creuset Dutch oven for a moment.
Take a deep breath and let the days worries just roll over you.
sigh.

I look at that thing and smell comfort. Source: cookware.lecreuset.com via Faith on Pinterest


This magical little pot's mood-lifting powers are almost equivalent to a piece of chocolate cake.I said "almost".

There's just something I love about a Dutch oven.
All the possibilities.
Desserts,
Soups/stews,
Roasts,
Breads,
etc etc etc...

I love their durability and tradition. I mean those suckers last. Like my great-grandchildren will be using it.
They're virtually indestructible - and if you've seen (or heard) me in the kitchen, that's a necessity.
My grandma has one that I've already called dibs on. I've thought about sneaking it out of her house one day, but those puppies are heavy and I'm not sure I'd be able to make it through airport security either.
Unfortunate.

So if anyone feels like contributing to my own little cast iron Zanax please feel free to email me any time before the end of the month.

ps - I'm kidding (mostly).


Ever cooked in a Dutch oven? Love/Hate/No idea what I'm talking about?
What about birthdays you'd rather forget? Any tips for getting through?
