    Scarily, I can say I have enough copper. Not many people can utter those words.

    The same thing could be said for Le Creuset, but still. Great for braising and soup making.

TH and I have spent some time these past few days talking about the journey to food. Not how many food miles our cabbage and broccoli have endured before they get to our table, but more about how far you are willing to travel for food. Also discussing what makes the journey something you are willing to endure.

Some of the journeys seem insane, some moderately demented and some reasonable.  Everyone has a story and every food has a story. The next few days I am going to share some of them with you.
