I'm with yoohoo -- wonderful photo of that child!

Like Angela L, I have a Le Creuset kettle, which we got after the kitchen reno. I love it: it was a bit dear, but (so far, at any rate), completely worth it.

Thanks for the kind thoughts -- and the great recipes! Like Dione mentioned, we (26+ of us) typically get together the Saturday for dinner, where a favourite is the mushrooms cooked in butter, rosemary, and Wooster. It's terrific on the turnips and potatoes -- a sort of second gravy, really.
This year we had a big family wedding on Saturday, so the usual traditions got put on hold. But we did honour the most important of those traditions: getting together with the family to celebrate.

sounds good! But I don't have the rind yet, will just a chunk of the parm itself do the same thing?

(if and) when my kitchen reno is complete, and I can cook again, this will be among the first things made in there. Maybe next week..... Thanks!

So glad to see this interesting history here -- I join the grateful chorus! I love the bit about the (Catholic) Church's opposition to the fork....

well, it's not exactly a kitchen item, but we just a few months updated our dining room bookcase from the dilapidated, grad school press board item we had to a beautiful, hand made maple one. What a difference!

Anybody else have a dining room bookcase? We keep, among others, "Not Your Mother's Casseroles" in it.... that is, when it is not being used in the kitchen!

great in stews, pasta sauces, soups, esp. now that the fall approaches!

Congrats to him on the new job, but sounds like he needs a new timetable more than anything. That's too long a time to go without a break! Is that even contractually legal?

Granola bars? I also like alicelost's idea!

Any moose up there? One would keep you for a VERY long time :)
