My Little Obsession

 Hello, Dear Ones! Well, I'm going to confess...I do have a little obsession. My obsession is with Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron Cookware. I have acquired a few pieces and I love to look at them and pick them up and look at them some more.

 

I do use the big red dutch oven you see on the back right burner for beans and soups and have had that one over 20 years. Yes, I use that one. But the others - I just kinda look at them and dust the lids and look at them some more.

If you've visited me much you'll remember that I have a home for my Le Creuset right here on my little baker's rack. They look so nice here and I can get to them easily and pick them up and put them back down. And...look at them some more. 

Well, I have made a resolution this year - 

I. WILL. USE. MY. LE. CREUSET. 

I will. I will. I will.
 

Here is my little red piece that I do use to keep my wooden utensils in. So this one is used daily. It's pretty old. Hmmm, maybe I need some new wooden spoons!

This little orangey red trio is pretty cute. On the right you'll see my tea pot and yes, I do use it to boil water in so it does get used. Then in the middle is a butter dish and occasionally I'll grab it and put a stick of butter in it for company. Then on the bottom left is a tiny little pie bird. Yes, Le Creuset makes little pie birds. Have I ever used it? Nope, and probably never will but it sure is cute though!

Then many years ago I went into a Salvation Army and saw this little orange Le Creuset. It was really in bad shape - all stained and looked like it was ready to bite the dust. But it was a good price and I grabbed it, brought it home and got out my Bar Keepers Friend and started scrubbing. She turned out pretty good. There are a few nicks in her but I got over that. Do I use her? Nope.

Then a few years ago Mr. Precious bought me the little yellow sunshine one that is the same size as my old orange one! Don't you love the colors? Do I use my sunshine yellow one? Nope. Well, I did boil some water in it once.

Mr. Precious also bought me this sunshine yellow brasier and it's a 5 quarter too. Do I use it? No, and I don't even know what I'd do with it. But she's so beautiful!

Mr. Precious knows about my obsession and for my birthday in November, he bought me this midnight blue pot! Oh, she's lovely too. I did make some black eyed peas in it.
 

So there you have it. I have confessed. I will use my pots this year. I will. I really will!

Do you use your Le Creusets? Inquiring minds want to know! :)
