This Christmas morning on the living room floor of my parents’s house, I tore through wrapping paper like I was a child again. After examining the heavy square box in front of me, I got a feeling in my gut like no other. Remember when you were a kid and all you wanted was that one special toy? You know the one-it was the talk of the playground. All your classmates gushed when you brought it in for show and tell. You got one of those for Christmas?! Wow, you’re so lucky! Well, my friends, I got that special toy. My mother got me that one toy that all your friends secretly hate you for having but would never turn down an offer to use it.

That’s right, this crow is now the proud owner of a Le Creuset dutch oven. Ooooh! Ahhhh!What color did she get me? Cobalt Blue. What was the first the first recipe I made in it? Beef stew. Do I absolutely love it? Yes.
