Pot of my Dreams....


I have been wanting a a big old enamelled cast iron pot for ages. And just a bit ago, i saw an add for a big sale at JC Penneys in their kitchen department. And with the add came a substantial coupon, so off i went! I bought myself this lovely red 7 quart pot made by Cook's kitchen.
Look at all that shiny red goodness! It took me a few weeks to even want to get it dirty! But this morning i pulled it out if the cupboard and made a big old batch of chili.
It's a messy job, but well worth it! It's bubbling away while i type this...There's enough chili in here to feed us twice over and some left over to treat my Parents too! It's funny but since i started cooking in this lovely pot, i've had a silly smile on my face! What kind of simple things make you happy?....

Oh Mare- that is a beautiful pot! I love cooking in my favorite pots and pans too... it makes the meal taste better. *giggle*
And what really gives me a silly smile every time I visit you is that adorable picture of Lola on your header!

Good Morning Paula! I agree about the meal tasting better! And i was amazed at how easy it was to clean up this pot! A little soak and a swish with the sponge and it was just like new! That picture of Lola is one of my favorites and i am thinking of having it painted by a friend...Have a great weekend!
