I sent a little love letter to the Universe around this time last year via the blogosphere stating that All I Really Wanted was a Le Creuset Dutch Oven that was shiny and sparkly and new. Well the Universe sure doesn’t have a 24 hour turnaround, but fortunately for me I have a pretty stellar boyfriend who took the hint (or perhaps just couldn’t take the constant ooh-ing and aah-ing Every Single Time we passed one) and look what showed up at my house for my birthday.

Don’t you just want to kiss it? I wanted to kiss it ON THE MOUTH!

In truth, my love for it was so intense that I wanted to take it out of the box immediately and curl up with it and whisper sweet nothings, but I read once somewhere that enameled stoneware doesn’t really like to cuddle, so instead I made soup! Delicious soup, as it were, which by the way was also made possible in part due to the other fabulous birthday gift I received.

All in all I’m starting to think this Love Letter thing might work. And I definitely know it’s going to be a good Winter!
