Goodbye to an old friend:
I wouldn't necessarily call this "fun stuff," but the pot I purchased over the weekend is one I love to use.
One of my favorite pots is the All-Clad D5 1.5 quart saucepan. I've had it for years and use it almost every day, sometimes more than once a day. It practically lives on my stovetop.
A few days ago I ruined it. Left it on a high burner with some water in it, got distracted, and when I discovered the pot, it was toast. Sadness and depression ensued followed by a visit to Amazon to get a replacement. Amazon said it was unavailable and didn't know when it would return to stock. No big deal, off to All-Clad, where it was also unavailable. Uh Oh, this was getting serious.
Further checking led me to Williams-Sonoma where I found it at a very good price. W-S has saved me $$ on All-Clad before. Pot should be here in a couple of days. Resting forlorn in the trash is the old D5.
So, is this a fun stuff posting, or just a shopping post, or a sad kitchen tale post?
