I am now the proud owner of a dutch oven. Happy early birthday to me! I opted out of the usual birthday dinner at Jak's Grill. I figured since mom & dad will be on a cruise for the next 2 weeks, birthday dinner wouldn't be the same without them anyway. So instead, I bused down to Sur la Table to pick up a Le Creuset oval oven, 3.5 qt for 50% off. Even better, my name was still on their register for working at Market Spice, so the lady gave me an additional market discount, even after telling her that I don't really work there anymore. I'd have to say, this was one of my rare moments that I didn't even feel a tinge of buyer's remorse. Throughout the whole bus ride home, I just kept telling myself I'm a grown ass woman. 'Bout time I own some grown ass things!, haha.
Now I feel obligated to have the girls over for a special meal and wine... perhaps if I find time in my schedule and a recipe that's both tasty and amateur-cook friendly, I will. Maybe something in the realm of Julia Childs?
