Early Birthday Present

You may have come to the conclusion by this point that my life up in Madison is just a bit too busy to be updating DW like I did back in DeKalb. Or perhaps you've concluded I followed my dream to become an ascetic monk and burned my computer along with all my other worldly possessions (except the loin cloth) in a fire of liberation. Turns out, neither of which are the case, though admittedly this hasn't been on the top of my priorities these past few weeks. But I've abandoned and come back to DW enough times to know how it works. I just gotta start posting when the mood hits me and it'll pick back up as a regular thing in no time.

So, I've decided to post my annual "I'm a sensitive guy who likes to cuddle" post. Not to worry; this isn't another post about a homemade wreath or regarding a new hobby of knitting. No, this is a post about my new cookware set!


You can only see the deep skillet, two sauce pans and an omelet pan in this picture, but to the side is an 8-quart stock pot and a second, smaller omelet pan. They're by cuisinart, hard anodized exteriors with titanium alloyed non-stick surfaces and fully riveted handles. How cool is that, right? My parents were talking about buying me a new set for my birthday when they came up next month, but luck brought me to purchase it this past weekend.

Anyways, one of these days I'll talk about meaningful stuff again like my life plan and being an uncle. But we'll start with baby steps. In the meantime, in tune with the subject matter, the title of this post is linked to the post-punk kitchen's recipe for the best weeknight winter stew I've found (perfect for any variety of substitutions to fit your taste). So till the next, slightly more interesting post...

Namaste'.
