funny thing is I got up to get a glass of water and there was one on the counter...so I snapped it with my phone....not 5 pounds...a heart shaped too

Crueset is a name and nothing more. http://www.pillivuytus.com/

love all my Creusets....they are the furthest things from name only...the heat distribution on the pots and pans is amazingly good

 

[andynap]

There are other things just as good and not as much money.

 

[MIke R]

I dont pay anything near full price.....go to a Creuset outlet...they give it away

 

[andynap]

You have Creusitis. Expand your horizons.

 

[MIke R]

..I have what?????.....did you just make up a word?

I like and use the product...end of story

I am product loyal to any product I like and use

so sue me....LOL

 

[MIke R]

I also have a 75 year old Corning Ware Dutch oven my mother gave me ......in immaculate condition

I love that too...

I recently broke the glass lid to it.....no way in hell I can ever tell her I did that....

Creusitis- we use that word in the big city- everyone uses it- never heard of it?

 

[MIke R]

no we hicks dont talk that way...geez em crow....dont you pay attention?


ok...new question

when I picked up my monthly CSA from the farm today he gave me a quart of raw organic milk.....

should I drink it????..or dump it??

its a very controversial topic

 

[andynap]

If it tastes good- drink it.

I own both Le Creuset and Pillivuyt products and both are excellent. Not sure that helps settle this discussion though.

 

[andynap]

Good- the point is there are products out there equal to or better than Creuset

 

[MIke R]

If it tastes good- drink it.

it tastes very good....but the FDA and CDC say no way...Wendi suggests we make ricotta with it so the heating would kill any pathogens

Excellent idea- heat to 200 degrees- add the juice of lemons until it curdles- off heat and rest for 5 hours. Drain in a strainer and press with a weight overnight. Refrigerate.

Youse guys should Skype.

I drank milk straight from the cow when I was a kid. My father had great aim, and could direct a squirt directly at my mouth when he was milking her. I'm still alive. But hey, what's a little e. coli, salmonella, brucellosis, or listeria among friends anyway?

 

[MIke R]

Yeah...uh.....I think we ll just make cheese

 

[JEK]

I've pulled a teat or two in my day as well.

I don't miss the farm. Or the fishery. Or the cannery. Or the mink ranch.

Besides, there's better bandwidth here.
