One thing that really helps you in the kitchen, is nice cookware. Our wonderful neighbor gave us a Le Creuset pot yesterday because it didn’t “fit” his new kitchen. We gladly accepted.

Isn’t he beautiful? We named in Jack, the Pumpkin King. Since it’s September and basically everyone goes crazy for pumpkins, we thought we would honor that with our new pot.

We think every young cook needs a beautiful Dutch Oven. They hold their heart beautifully and they’re excellent for making sauces, stews, basically anything.
