Clever but potentially dangerous. Handrail is inadequate and adding a really good source of combustion to the stairs. Hope there is another exit on the second floor. Building officials would probably not allow this in the US and the first time someone fell down the stairs or there was a fire the architect would be sued into oblivion.

Will C, My Le Creuset dutch oven looks fantastic and it gets a good amount of use around our house but the bottom 1/2" or so has lost its sheen and develped a dark patina, probably due to the amount of browning we do to meats and veg. I am not so worried about the look but there is definitely a loss to the "non-stick" quality. Is there anything I can do?

Christmas Eve...I HAVE to play "All I want for Christmas is My 2 Front Teeth" as my 5 year old just lost her 2 front teeth! After the kids are asleep I would crack open the Irish Whiskey for a hot toddy and have a listen to Tom Waits "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis." - classic.

I would love to give this away as a gift to a friend of mine who has introduced me to food snobbery. He used to be a chef (does one ever stop being a chef?) and was the first person to prepare paella from scratch for me. After very diplomatically correcting me on not concentrating on the "ll's" in paella it is a constant treat to get invited to his house to taste and pronounce some exotic food he got on some trip. If you give me this copy I promise to interject culinary nomenclature into the conversation at least 6 times before giving him this as a gift. Plus he's turning 50 in a few weeks so this will make a great gift! Apartment Therapy - Thursday Giveaway: The Food Snob's Dictionary Flag this comment	11/1/07 10:32 AM

If anyone is plannning on doing this type of detail remember to leave a space at the bottom of the "fence" to allow for sweeping out the voind between the fence and the stucco wall. Look! Colored wooden planks in the patio Flag this comment	6/5/07 3:20 PM
