le creuset, Utah still fucked, bats

[threeplusfire]

How big of a dutch oven do I need? I can't decide. Most of my cooking is just for the two of us here, but sometimes I like to make big things. The 3.5 quart model sounds like a good size for smaller cooking and it is even a really reasonable price. But the 5.5 quart comes in that lovely lemongrass color and the Williams Sonoma green. Plus it is bigger. But should I go for the oval shape instead? I don't know.

How much would I love a bunch of colorful Le Creuset? A lot.

The slightly impractical but completely fantastic tiny casseroles shaped like berries is also on my list of things I covet now.

Utah continues to be a wellspring of fuckery. On Thursday, a Utah legislator withdrew a bill that would allow sentences of up to life in prison for a woman who experiences a miscarriage or stillbirth as a result of her "reckless" behavior. This move has been attributed to a "firestorm" of opposition. Almost immediately, however, Utah legislators revised the bill to exempt women who commit reckless acts but permit the prosecution of women who commit "knowing" acts that may result in stillbirths and miscarriages from the earliest stages of pregnancy. Let me say that one more time - FUCK YOU UTAH SENATORS!

Our "assemble your own" bat house from Bat Conservation International arrived today. I am excited. We need some nice water based stain now, before we can begin assembling it. The we have to determine where it would be best to hang it up. Ideally the south facing side of the house would be best, but I don't think it will be high enough. We may have to go with the back of the house, which is more westerly facing. Bats! Bats are so awesome.

I totally want to adopt all these bats. Bats pollinate the agave plants, so without bats there would be no tequila.

I have been known to fill my 5.5qt. I covet the new lavender color, but I have one of the discontinued shaded blue ones already, and really truly no space for another.

Oval fits in the oven next to something else better, but round gets better heat distribution from stovetop burners.

I just saw the Sur La Table colors. Those are super pretty.

Now I just need to magic up the money to buy one round and one oval. I imagine I should go with round first, but shffjkfjksj... I covet this stuff the way some people covet designer shoes.

We should turn Utah into a penal colony. Empty out all the prisons and send them there.
Then we can build schools everywhere else. Just stay the hell out of Utah.

I have been saying that for years!

Le Cruset is the only reason I want to get married.

Have you tried one of these? http://www.bestcovery.com/lodge-enameled-cast-iron-6-quart-dutch-oven

They are every bit just as good at a fraction of the cost--honest!
