just bought my friend the loveliest cool mint le creuset casserole dish for his wedding
it's so lovely that there's a not at all remote chance of my keeping it and shoving some cash in an envelope for his gift.

cool mint is not the best colour for cookware

but it's so pretty
i like the bright blue, but the new easter pastels, cool mint, pale yellow and pale pink, are sooooo cute.

meh, it washes!

I think you're right. My parents have theirs in 'morgan green' but it's not right.
My mum seems to be filling her kitchen with the stuff; she bought a roasting tin that seemed to be no different from any other tin apart from the fact it was an order of magnitude more expensive.

I've got the black cast iron one of them.
The flat round one, it's great for doing stuff on the hobs as well.

they're brilliant
when i was a kid, my mum bought a full set of saucepans, they were her pride and joy. mate and i tried to make fudge in them, actually made some sort of toxic brown superglue, totally pulled all the enamel off the inside and fucked two of them royally.

that was a long long long grounding :(

I knocked one over in Debenhams and smashed one of the handles. My mum was livid but I think they let her off.
Mine still needs to build up a patina really, eggs and things stick sometimes.

christ, she'd probably have left you there for them to sell to make up the balance
