Thought of the Day… I love cooking for myself and cooking for my family. ~Al Roker
As you know from my Something I’ve wanted for a long time post I bought a 7.25 qt pot at the beginning of May.
Anyway… my friend Rafael has been raving about the Le Creuset pots for some time and how things taste better made in them. I’m not sure if it “tastes” better, but I love the way things cook in it.
So yes, Rafael, you were right [sort of]… There, I said it. (I don’t plan on saying it again – it’s too painful! LOL!!! 
)
…I wanted a smaller pot because my red 7.25 qt is pretty big and my 2 qt is too small for pasta sauce. So I went to the store to get this 5.5 qt… Best part is I got it for 35% off with a coupon.
I decided to mix up the colors… to keep it festive… isn’t it pretty?
Well, while there I got a coupon announcing that they were getting the Caribbean color on June 1 and they were going to be 20% off.
I have also wanted a cast-iron skillet… So, I took my lunch break and went and bought this…
Isn’t it pretty, too?
Now I need to stop working until 3-4AM so I have the energy to cook!
Of course I'm right, I'm always right! Now, take a shot of whiskey, scotch or rum for the pain!
I have a couple, one was my grandma's and then I have a skillet looking thing like yours, maybe not as big. However they've been in boxes and I haven't been able to use them until now…
I do like the colors you've chosen too! The yellow sure would go in my kitchen (it's green/yellow, John Deere colors 
)
I have another 35% off coupon… I'm trying to decide if I want to get a 3 qt pot or a saucepan. I do like the way things cook in them…
Nicole, don't tell Rafael (yeah, I realize you guys have never met)… I'll never hear the end of it… (oh bother… I just posted this on the internet… he knows… ooops!)
Hi Nicole!
Nicole, feel free to ignore him…
