Bonjour amis

This pot is my new friend in the kitchen...

Isn't she a beauty? They call this color cherry.

While most of my kitchen friends were made in China...

this pot comes all the way from France.

I looked up Le Creuset...

it means

"The Crucible" in french.

Mom had a yellow cast iron pot like this forever.

Man us kids hated cleaning that pot.

I can't believe that after all those years 

I would even consider buying one.

I'll have to try to remember to use it only on the nights

 that Mr. b does the dishes.

It went from stove top to oven

for Swiss steak.

Wait a minute...do the Swiss and French get along?

You bet they do...

the steak was merveilleux

Amis d'au revoir ~b
