RIP Cocotte

Go to www.seb.fr to see why you should get this. They're expensive though
- who knew pots and pans could be so pricey.

....and just when things couldn't get any worse. The cocotte minute (also known as the vertebrae of Franck's Kitchen) broke 5 minutes before the duck was ready. Oh cocotte..... - for 15 years you have prepared so many wonderful meals for Franck, for me, and for Franck's ex-girlfriends. And now, you too, will make your way to the door and down the path of no return. 

Tomorrow, we will spend money that could go elsewhere (like dinner in a restaurant, for example) on a new cocotte.  Sigh, can't wait for Saturday.

Onions + eyes + wanna be Oakley's = cry no more

In other news, an old school mate from high school, we'll call her 'Chantal' who is reading this blog just sent me a link to purchase the above glasses/goggles. Thanks Chantal, now I will no longer have any excuse not to cut the onions!  Go to Ashton Greene to learn more. Damn you Ashton Greene!
