Today's Pawn Shop find

Staub Cocotte Cast Iron. I have the larger size in black. Really like it. Like new in box, 50 bucks. Pawn and Thrift stores are 100 in a hundred chance but still better odds than playing the Lotto.



Thank you,

    Thank you. I like the hunt. Like finding a great looking choice steak that looks like prime.

    A steal! Not as good as my 11 piece Le Creuset set for $50, but still a steal. =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    You always find cool crap down there in thrift stores. Up here it's a few bags of hair curlers, clothes, dishes from the 80's, vhs tapes, and a couple old crusty coffee pots. 

    Great score by the way!

    I find nothing worth buying most of the time. But it's like golf for me. That one good shot each round keeps me coming back.
