We Interrupt this Sunday

I'm not one to blog much on the weekends but today I had to make an exception. You see we experienced a big loss in our family this past Friday. Our beloved Betty has officially gone to the big oven in the sky. We couldn't allow ourselves to grieve for too long as we had planned on spending time with her this weekend and so an immediate search for her replacement was required.

In Autumn and Winter my dutch oven is my favorite cooking tool. Thanks to my Auntie Lane, a sassy substitute was secured. Go ahead and say that 3 times fast. This one is on sale right now at JC Penney and with the 20% discount code, R20PERKS you can have one for the bargain basement price of $27.90. I couldn't afford not to order one, right?

I can't wait to make some of our favorite recipes, like this and this. Now I can get back to the business of being cozy.

  4. Jen,
    Your timing could have not been more perfect. Went to make Pioneer Woman's french onion soup yesterday and remembered my dutch oven had to go the way of your Betty last year! Ended up borrowing one from the neighbors to make the soup!

    So funny to read this today - am off to order one myself!

  9. Too funny that you NAMED your pot... I've named a lot of things, but never my kitchen items :)
