Quick question. Anybody have experience with larger enameled cast iron? (Other than le creuset maybe?). I mention I sit there and say, if I had a fancy pot like that I could make some awesome Cassoulet too... Or braised short ribs or whatever.

I was looking at some descoware. I guess it's lighter the Le crueset and quite a bit more affordable, but obviously all vintage

But look at this freaking thing. It's super cool.

I have a couple of pieces of Descoware that I found on ebay, though not a French Oven. It's worthy stuff. As for Le Creuset, I have some, but Staub kicks its ass like it's Jim Harbaugh. Also, don't buy any of the ceramic Le Creuset bakeware; it's all made in China. For the same money buy Emile Henry, made in Burgundy with Burgundian clay in the same factory since the 1800s.

I'm really tempted to answer that ......)
I have this dish I concocted. Break up turkey sausage links or patties (2) fry it up along with enough chopped onion and feta cheese (as much as you like) add 4 or 5 tablespoons of salsa. then add any hot sauce you like.
mean while I fried up 1 egg and one egg white, throw them on a plate and cover with the sausage.
Turned out better than I thought it would. I call it "Red Delight"

Bottling day 1.2 . We have some Pinot noir and Malbec.

Unfortunately there will be a 1.3 - imagine a couple cases of sauv Blanc, I'll spare you pics.

Bottling day 2 probably mid February and bottling day 3... TBD. Maybe mid May if it all works out. They will have 75 bottles or so each vs the 170ish here.

Just made some flaming Spanish Coffees while my wife is decorating the tree. They're an odd Portland bar mainstay (one place claims they invented them): sugared rim that's caramelized with flaming 151 rum; kahlua, triple sec, coffee and a float of cream. (Took a pic but you can't see the flames so...why bother. Plus, since i haven't made these in a while she got out the fire extinguisher. Buzzkill.) Nice winter warmer (on this 50 degree evening).

OK, so this got me poking around. My Le Creuset is actually a Cousances which i thought was a model but was actually a much older rival (by 400 years) they bought out and continued to produce at the original factory for another 20 years (they still make some of the designs but dropped the cousances name in the early 80s). Saw one similar to mine on Ebay for a $100 (still a lot cheaper than a new Le Creuset).
