Victorinox. I am still using the one that was issued to me at culinary school back in '95.

Rosemary syrup is so good in lemonade.

it = it's

Thanks for that link, Comicgeek.

Seared steel cut oats. I took leftover steel cut oats from yesterday's breakfast, poured them into a buttered jelly roll pan and stored them in the fridge. This morning, I cut the chilled oats into triangles and seared them in a pan with a little butter until they had a light crust, like grilled polenta.

They have them at the stores in my area.

I think that I could provide a good home to this lamp.

I'm in.

I have had the Chantal for a while. The handle and the lever with which to open the spout both get super hot. The inside of the lid gets rusty. Also, the whistle is so loud, your next door neighbors will know when your water is boiling.

Just saying that the kettles with the plastic handles and self opening spouts may be the way to go. Or the electric kettles-those are very nice, too.

Thanks everyone for your comments re: searing meat. Maybe I'll try out my slow cooker this weekend.
