One of my riding buddys and his wife coming over for supper tonight. Every good meal starts with alittle bread. No knead in my new Le Creuset Ebay snipe. Just took lid off to brown it. Have to wait to see whats next! :evil:

LOL That looks really good. I love my vintage le Creuset! these three all came off eBay. the Brown one is on the egg right now with a pot of chili, using last nights left over chuckie. smells wonderful.

The long orange one is the best meatloaf pan ever!

The day I got the brown pot I was taking it home and dropped it and broke the top knob. I have to get a new one but I was so mad. It was the same brown enamel, not the black one.

Got a Gaggia Expresso with a Gaggia MDF grinder. Not a bad set up for less than $500. Get my whole beans 2 days old fom Caffe Darte in Seatle Wash. Highley recommend.

Oh yea. I cook for them about once a week as well as hot rod his Hog for him. But he's a weilder and I get my returns also. Sides, he's my partner. Don't keep score. If I broke down in Utah he'd be ther in 2 days to help as would I.

Just looked at your profile Bill. See you roast your own as well as top line machines. Glad someone else enjoys a REAL expresso straight up. I'm sort of differant. Have farm with horses and cows, ride and work on Harleys as main transportation, live to burn on the Egg and have presentation of food and enjoy a great expresso and dark brew along with alittle home brew wine. :laugh: Everything in moderation!
