A Whale of a Find

I found this quite unusual casserole dish in a thrift store in Allentown, PA.  The whale on the top has a blow hole that acts to let the steam out.  I have never seen anything like this!

Confessions of a Cookware Addict

I am addicted to cookware.  I don't really know when it started, but I remember when I realized it.  No, it wasn't when I transformed my cellar staircase to hang all of my pots and pans.  It wasn't even when I bought endless shelving for my basement to store all of the machines, glassware, etc that I was unable to fit in my kitchen.  It was from the movies.  Watching movies mostly about food.  You know the ones - Big Night, Mostly Martha, Tortilla Soup, etc.  Watching them I realized that I was much more focused on the cookware and gadgets than I was on the food (or the plot line for that matter).   Mesmerized really.   Mostly Martha - the kitchen filled with stainless pots and pans and racks hanging with gadgets. Tortilla Soup - get a load of those casserole dishes and soup tureens.  Big Night - love those copper pots and pans!
