LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A package arrived yesterday… WHAT COULD IT BE ?????!!!!!

OH MY GOOOODDNESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone who knows me knows I have been wanting a Dutch Oven for YEARS.  I even had the gall to put a request on this blog (Stuff I Would Like to Have).  My mom surprised me with one 3 Christmases ago but the lid was chipped and it had to be returned.  The money from the Dutch Oven then went to pay for boots for my older daughter – b/c that is how life goes.  But many thanks to my amazing friend Magdalen, I’m now the owner of a beautiful blue Le Creuset!!!!

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU MAGDALEN!!!!!!!!!  I AM ELATED! 🙂

PS: No give backs. Right?!

  1. Of course no give backs. The whole I idea was to get rid of the thing.

    Don’t get me wrong — I love Le Creuset. You’d have to pry my cold, dead fingers away from the ones I use all the time. But the oval one was always the Ugly Duckling in my kitchen. When I say it’s very little used, trust me, I’m not kidding.

    In fact, I warned Christy several times that it was uh, petite — I made sure she saw it on a Le Creuset page (there are much bigger oval Dutch ovens…) and approved it before I sent it off. My thinking was: No give backs!!!!

    Now I get to see about a larger Le Creuset for myself…

    (Glad you like it, sweetie!)

    1. Ugly duckling, my @$$ !!!!!!!

      This lil blue baby is SmOKIN!

      Magdalen, you are too modest, generous and lovely for words. This Le Creuset is the most beautiful, to be cherished thing in my kitchen. I cannot thank you enough. (I had to include the photos – even w/out makeup & hairbrushing!! SORRY. LOL)

        1. Yes, I know. PS: Dutch Oven said you’re taking up too much room in the bed. (Psst. I think he’s just being greedy. What say we kick him back to the kitchen and get cookin?)

    1. Ain’t he gorgeous?!! YOU KNOW HE IS!! LOL

      HAH – so glad you like the pix, Myra! I just had to capture “the moment” — in retrospect I should have showered and gotten dressed but true love is so above appearances (right??) hahahah

          1. OOoh!! No I hadn’t seen or heard of them but they look NICE. OKAY EVERYONE! I have a 3 qt. dutch oven already, but please feel free to send me any of the others above. THANKS! 😉

    1. Red is gorgeous! And will look slamming in your new kitchen (hint to the hubs). Funny, I thought I wanted green (my favorite color) but this blue is sensational. I was washing the lid earlier and the paint gradation from rim to knob is so subtle, it’s stunning. I’m floored to call it my own. And I can’t believe I have such great friends. Magdalen, YOU ROCK !!!!

    1. Thanks GG!! Friends have recommended everything from braised lamb shanks, Pot roast, Baked beans, Short ribs and Osso Buco to a whole roasted chicken with veggies. MMMMmmmm!!!!

      But I of course went SWEET! I christened my beloved with a super pear & apple crisp- many thanks to my friend Stephanie’s suggestion above. I’m off to post the recipe on my (other) Daily Dish. Check it out later!!

  2. Wow, that IS GORGEOUS. I have been cyberlusting after one in turquoise but the dark blue is beeeeeeautiful. She is a spectacularly great friend!!!

  3. Well see I knew that list of stuff you wanted would come in handy some day 🙂 Lucky Girl!

    P.S. I have been making the cutest headbands…I think you and the girls would enjoy making and wearing them 🙂

  4. I have that color in 8 qt and a red one that’s 4 qt. Most useful items ever. I want to go cook about 6 things right now. 🙂

  5. Great blue coloured one. We have a red one similar, my wife loves it. Must be a woman thing, to me it’s just a cooking implement, I’m more interested in the food that comes out of it
