Oprah’s on the Slowfood bandwagon, are you?

I am delighted to hear that Oprah talked about Food, inc. on her show this week. I mean really, with a voice like that behind the slowfood movement… perhaps the U.S. consumers will perk up and listen? Oprah is responsible for bringing many lot’s of topics to the forefront of our minds. Who didn’t read the Kite Runner? Did anyone pay attention to Rachael Ray before Oprah endorsed her? Heck, even to some extent Oprah introduced us to Obama, didn’t she?
On the heels of the post I wrote last week, I must say that I am delighted to hear that others are thinking about the same subject. (Thank you Oprah!) Perhaps we are on the cusp of making real change in the way that the American government subsidizes farming and how American’s (and let’s face it mom’s who do the grocery shopping) are thinking about the food that they eat.
On another note… do you remember why I have not been cooking lately? Well, I finally pulled the trigger. I ordered myself a Le Crueset French Oven! It’s the first of three pans I will order to stock our kitchen. I figured this was the most versatile of the three. Heck, I can do everything from boil eggs to bake a cake in it! After much hunting for the very best price on the internet, I realized there are a lot of stores who mark up the price to give you the perception of a deal when they sell it to you for less. So instead, I went to Sur La Table who recently released an exclusive color that I adore. It’s called Cassis. Pretty, no?
Here’s a question: Did you watch Oprah’s show about Food, inc. and the slowfood movement? Did it change how you think about the food you eat?
I love that you bought the cassis. The color is perfect for you!

Maggie, I know this is trivial, but Eggplant has been my color of the season. I have had three brides with plum color, I did our 2009 Sucked A$$ happy 2010 mailing labels in plum and tomato AND the new apartment also has hints of eggplant. It looks so super good in our place. Since it’s an L-shaped studio, you can see everything from the kitchen to the bed in one swoop.
Thanks for commenting Maggie.

Beautiful! I’m saving up for a Le Creuset of my very own – but I have no idea what size to get, let alone if round or oval is preferable? Any suggestions for a household of two, that will hopefully be using the french oven for years as the family grows?

Genavee,
I have a flame colored one in the 5.5 quart and find it a tad small on occasion. This go around, I ordered the 7.25 quart so that in the future I will not find myself with two of the same size pots once we get settled.
Good luck!

Beautiful color, I’d love to build a whole kitchen around it. :)
I absolutely love le creuset. I always steal my moms! I like the color you chose as well, but I have my eyes set on a the cobalt color. So pretty!

I too have been dying for cobalt! It was a last minute decision to go for Cassis ONLY because we are currently living in a tiny apartment and I thought it would look pretty with our decor! (If we run out of storage space, I wanted to be sure that I didn’t mind looking at it on the stove-top!)
I totally agree. The cobalt is gorgeous.
Thanks to everyone who has commented!
