People. You don't even understand how great this new pan is. It is fifteen and one-quarter inches across. I have a 13 1/4 quart enameled cast iron pot that I call my baby cooker because it's a morbidly descriptive term for the pan's capacity. And I hereby christen my new pan the baby fryer. Have I mentioned that The Gashlycrumb Tinies is a favorite book of mine? Well, it's not, so I'm okay to keep being a parent, DCFS people. Nobody macabre in this house!
The house tour went well and Joan brought me a thank you/penance loaf of very exciting-looking bread that I'm eager to try. I am a sucker for bread with seeds in it. But it has to be moist, right? Why is so much bread all dry and crumbly and glum-glum?
On my way home from buying my pan and this glorious knife for my in-laws:
I stopped and bought thirty pounds of pitted pie cherries. Because I am not yanking chains of anyone with yankable chains, that sour cherry jam will give you religion. And I want to be really, really religious. Coincidentally, the aforementioned baby cooker is also the right size to do a hella batch of jam.
Now I'm going to go scream at my children about the Grass Cloth semi-gloss interior latex they were kind enough to spill all over the family room carpet and couch. I like that they let it dribble out of the can for a good few hours before they came to me to confess just now. I'd better grab the frying pan.

I have one of those knives...sharp stitches in my hand...slices tomatoes very thin and I swear it never dulls, also cuts fresh bread without ripping it or squashing it...enjoy but watch the fingers! where did you buy the pan? I need a new one
I feel your pain with the paint, good thing your making up some of that good 'ol religion. It'll save you every time. ;)
(I wish mine came pre-pitted!)
Happy Birthday. Your knife is really THAT cool. Sorry about the paint. That is so very NOT cool.
Happy late Birthday! We are in need of a good serrated knife, where did you get yours? And your jam sounds very intriguing.
