I perused the clothing and didn't find anything great so I went back to the cookware. I looked at some bar towels, but I have too many already. I looked at what I thought was all of the clearance and I didn't find anything great. I felt pretty defeated, because I can always find something good on sale. On our way out of the section I found another small rack, some veggie peelers, a pizza cutter, a few knives, all were great deals but nothing that I needed. I turned the corner, and what was on the bottom shelf made my heart skip a beat. A tomato red 5 quart enamel cast iron dutch oven by Food Network . While it is no Le Creuset, it is still beautiful and so heavy I can barely lift it. The regular price is 99.99. It was on sale for 39.99 and with $10 Kohl's cash I got it for 29.99. Not bad for an item that I will have for the rest of my life and be able to pass down to the boys.<br /><br />I used to spend Saturday mornings as a kid watching Julia Child and Jacques Pepin instead of cartoons. I have spent the last 8 years trying to fill my kitchen with the tools necessary to cook amazing meals for my family. They don't have to be complicated but I want them to be healthful and delicious. I also want my children to learn the joy and satisfaction that comes from cooking a wonderful meal for the people that you love. Joey already has a passion for cooking so we are off to a good start.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5331248823958761446-4349763893801884691?l=greenishhalfacres.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greenish Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11245513561600877025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331248823958761446.post-2727978835541301952010-08-13T14:52:00.001-07:002010-08-16T07:20:53.087-07:00We recently moved to Enon, OH. I thought it would be a lot harder to adjust to the slower pace but we settled right in. We got our garden started and joined a csa. We went with Orion Organics. It is close to the house and we like to go out and visit with the chickens. <br /><div>We all love living next to a cornfield. Daisy(the cat) is very happy. She loves being able to spend her day outside. </div><div>We have made a few friends. It will take time to make a circle of people that we love and trust but it always seems to happen. </div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5331248823958761446-272797883554130195?l=greenishhalfacres.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greenish Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11245513561600877025noreply@blogger.com1
