The Missing Piece

Being a Pampered Chef consultant, I own almost every kitchen tool known to man. That is, except for the very special, very expensive, Le Creuset 7.25-qt. Dutch oven.  It's the gold standard.  It's been missing from my kitchen.  I want one.  Now I have one!

This afternoon, Baird took me out to Oak Brook for a little post-Christmas shopping.  We came home with this not-so-small piece of kitchen equipment.  It's a little heavy.  It weighs more than my children did when they were born.  It came with a fabulous, equally large green reusable shopping bag.  In honor of my new Dutch oven, I'm making Boeuf Bourguignon tomorrow.  Julia's Boeuf Bourguignon.  I plan on serving it New Year's Eve.  Stay turned!
