Le Creuset Cast Iron Goodness

To be honest, I had to do a little thinking on what I was going to write today.  Nothing was shouting out at me, so I figured I'd do a little snooping through my pictures, kitchen, closets to see if I could find something that I wanted to tell you all about.

Turns out, I found something fabulous!  The other day I decided I needed to get off my butt a bit more and start cooking regularly again (I've gotten a little lazy this summer).  Avi had a cold and Richie claimed to be coming down with something, so soup it was.  Out of all the things I cook, I've been told on more than one occasion, that I have a real knack for soups.

I went into my kitchen looking for some inspiration, but the first thing I wound up pulling out was my superamazing and all-time-favorite pot: my Le Creuset Round French Oven (I also have an oval and a wok).  For some reason it just feels like the right thing to make soups and stews in.  I've had it for a handful of years now and I have a good feeling that I'll keep it forever and ever (which is about as eco-friendly as you can get).

It turned out perfect for the other night as I had a cook-on-top-of-the-stove-and-then-pop-it-in-the-oven-for-a-bit type situation.  I also pulled out the wok to make some truffled cabbage to go along with the meal!  Everything was superyum and cooked to perfection thanks to my favorite pots and pans!
