My husband didn't see the point of a dutch oven, but he agreed to buy the cheap Ikea one. NOW he sees the point - and the dutch oven is still going strong after one year of use and abuse. Maybe if this one dies, we'll upgrade to something better but for now, if works. My Uncool Kitchen Tool: A Not-As-Good-As-Le-Creuset Dutch Oven |

@original poster : didn't you say you just spent two months renovating ? Have you cleared with the downstairs neighbors whether their complints were with everyday noise or with noise caused by the renovation work itself ? What To Do When You Are the Noisy Upstairs Neighbor? Good Questions |

Yesterday was a no-cook day, with just left-overs from Friday evening : guacamole, humus, various dips, chocolate mousse, reheated chili. Today saw the end of the chili, and I'm making a Lucullus vealroast for tonight. And something to go with it, with a leek. I have one sad leek in the fridge, waiting to be cooked...

Just a reminder : the number of pallergics have peekd up recently. Maybe that's why things were different 25 years ago. Maybe it's also because allergic people are tgetting tired of declining diner invitations and want to have some social life, too...

Maybe it's just me, but I like my guests to enjoy what they're being served. So I ask in advanc,e and I do my best to offer something they will eat. I honestly don't care why they won't eat something. I invite them to dinner, I do my best to accomodate. Now, if they didn't tell me in advance, I'll try to accomodate as well, but I might not have anything suitable to offer. I won't be offended if they don't touch the dish though. Who am I to dictate their diet ? Restrictive Diets at Dinner Parties: How Far Should a Host Go to Accommodate? The New York Times |

I completely second Pearmelon, you don't need to brown the ingredients separately. I only use one dash of oil int he beginning and cook some onions and garlic until golden and tender, and then I just add the rest, finely diced. If the pot gets too full I wait until things have cooked a little and take up less space to add more. And I use a BIG pot :) One-Pot Recipe: Easy French Ratatouille Recipes from The Kitchn |

I try to always AT LEAST bake two Dresdner Christstollen and a bath of Vanillekipferln. Which might be odd for a french gal, but that's what I love :) Holiday Cookie Platter: What Are Your Must-Have Cookies? |
