I own quite a collection of high quality cookware and bakeware. Names that are quickly recognizable to people in the know, kitchen enthusiasts, people who love to cook, skills notwithstanding … Le Creuset, Staub, and Emile Henry to name a few. But, every now and then … quite frequently actually, I love digging out and using my Corningware … it’s unpretentious, inexpensive, and best of all highly competent!! It gets the motherfucking job done without any fucking fanfare or fuss!! I love it … love things like this that aren’t the end all and be all of being a chef!! Gotta give credit where credit is due … thanks Corningware!!

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising

I’m a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?
