Le Creuset, Cassoulet, and Me

   I have been attempting to be fiscally conservative while working my second job at Williams-Sonoma.  But, on Friday, I caved.  I bought something that I really don't need.  I bought the Le Creuset Cassoulet set.  Really, I do not need this set.  It was on sale. It was a great deal.  I got a sweet discount.  I had to have it.  The set came with a cast iron enameled pot with a lid and for matching bowls.  All the pieces are RED.  RED I say.  This is my first Le Creuset pot.  I am totally stoked.  
   As I type this, I am imagining all of the dishes I can make in this pot.  Can you feel the excitement?  It's gonna be good.  It's gonna be something tasty.  It's gonna be a savory pie, luscious cobbler, delicious soup or (dare I say it) cassoulet.  Whatever  I choose, you better believe I am going to serve it up in the four matching stoneware bowls.   
   Now that I think about it, I have some apples and pears that need a purpose.  I was thinking of making an apple-pear pie tomorrow.  But now, I think I will make a pear-apple cobbler in my beautiful new Le Creuset Cassoulet piece.  Because now that I own it, I might as well use it.

  Who's with me?
