i'm shocked.

most sundays, i cook a big batch of food to hand out to my single elderly neighbors. they always tell me it is difficult to "cook for one". (they dont like each other, so they couldnt possibly do a round-robin meal exchange..noooo)

yesterday, i made Sunday Gravy. damn, my house smelled like the movie set of the Sopranos. (not a murder scene). when done, i lightly dressed some pasta with the sauce and put a big glop on top. boxed it all up in togo containers i bought awhile back. we handed them out.

at home doing the dishes, i noticed i somehow CHIPPED the bottom of my enamel dutch oven. WTF? two chips. both the about the diameter of a half pea. deep chips. i immediate made the rounds again to show the pot to the neighbors. i HAD to warn them of the missing chips. they could be in their meals. i felt like an idiot.

i was more worried about someone swallowing a chip. i'll offer the pot to a friend who owns a english mastiff. maybe he could use a dog bowl the beast cant push around the house while eating. i broke the unbreakable. must have been the metal tongs or something. i'm not going to use it anymore. i dont want to chip a person's tooth or anything worse.

i'm gonna try Staub next. i like the already black interior..which my LC has from baking bread in it.
