Vitra

Did you know that this ceramic Vitra classic is only about 6" tall?

Scissors

Nice small foot print.

Red Dot

This was designed by Michael Sodeau and I believe that it is a Red Dot award winner. I think it is part of his desktop office collection. I like it but I think the clock takes up too much room on the desk surface...especially when compared with the scissors, above.

Braise

I recently received the gigantic 13 1/4 qt French Oven. I used it this weekend to make the a braised pork shank chili. (The recipe came from Esquire. If you go to Esquire.com and search for Chili recipe it will come right up.) I have made the recipe twice now and the secret is in getting a meaty shank and in the braising. The Le Creuset French Oven is perfect for it and makes cooking a big recipe like this infinitely easier.
