Stove top to oven, just like that. I make my signature chicken and olives (Barefoot Contessa) dish in it. Always a hit. <br /><br />Like Bohemian, I, too, had a Thumbelina doll and I adored her. A neighbor girl kidnapped her and for days I didn't know where she was. Her mother marched her over to our house and made her surrender said doll.<br /><br />I think I'll leave my Christmas decorations up until New Years day. Maybe by then I'll have the energy to take it all down.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052375488090209961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-54090454271958664642019-12-27T18:46:54.984-05:002019-12-27T18:46:54.984-05:00You had the special Chatty Cathy!

We met up with a friend of mine from work and her four year old daughter who also got a Baby Alive for Christmas. I laughed so hard when the doll ate the play doh and then shit it out.<br /><br />Katie saw it and started to gag. Apparently poop, even play doh poop grosses her out!<br /><br />I didn't know the dolls were a thing this year.<br /><br />I got a pasta maker from my big guy. I don't like appliances but I also don't want to hurt his feelings. Sigh.

I tried to comment then that you should keep that beautiful pot but was unable to do it. I was so glad you decided to keep such a great gift and already put it to use. I have had mine for about 30 years and I use it at least twice a week. We are both serious cooks and it is lovely to have good tools.
