I bought the big two handled Le Cruset last year.  That thing produces some awesome fond.  Lemon garlic chicken!!! 

Mine's not a Le Creuset but it's pretty nice. It's my favorite piece of kitchen equipment.

My wife was feeling a bit under the weather when I got home so it fell to me to make supper for mom, her and i.  No problem, hmm is that a bag of thawed crappie fillets? Sliced some taters into a newly cleaned and sanded down, then reseasoned cast iron skillet, opened a can of bushes baked beans, and prepend the crappie for a trip to the grill.  Sometime things just workout right.  When I went to turn the taters for the first rime, half expecting them to be glued permanently to the skillet, I shoved hard and pushed some of them clear out of the skillet,  that thing was like water on ice.  They were browning perfectly, the gas bottle on the grill ran dry just as the fish were done.  I did forget the onions in the taters, told my wife that is why I still need her.

Well Oxtail soup again tonight! (I’ve got a light day at work) and it’s One of my wife’s favorites. Just takes 5 hours of cooking to melt the collagen. @ness it’s Le Cruset 😜

Oxtail soup is a real favorite around here.  About time to make some!

You get extra credit for going all the way to Tibet to get your salt.

Never made oxtail soup but love braised meats, especially shanks, short ribs, etc. Looks like a good soup in the making Mitch.

We have Lodge dutch ovens.

Tonight did a venison loin roast with montreal seasoning and garlic powder. Medium rare. Roasted new potatoes with provence herbs. Vegetable casserole.

Yesterday made spaghetti meat sauce. Started with 1.5 lbs ground beef and 1 lb italian sausage. Added almost 1/4 cup of dried oregano and another of basil and two tablespoons of dried thyme and garlic powder. Then a teaspoon or two of red pepper flakes. Then added 8 cloves of minced garlic. Diced one green and one red bell pepper and a large sweet onion. Cooked until onions were translucent. Added in three large cans of crushed tomatoes, four cans of tomato sauce, and two cans of tomato paste. Simmered for almost three hours.

Had spaghetti when it was done. Wife made four meal sized lasagnas today that went into the freezer. Still have another meals worth of sauce in the fridge.
