pretty baking dishes


i am getting bad at updating this as often as i take pictures. i've been trying not to bring my laptop home if i don't have work to do at night...which in turn means that on the nights that i have the free time to update, i dont have the laptop with which to post it! but i will get better at catching up on the backlog.

so, i recently purchased some pretty new baking dishes. Crate and barrel just released them, and they were so popular that stores sold out almost immediately, and they took them off the website for a bit because they had gotten so popular. when the baking dishes were back on the website, it said shipping was delayed until late march. late march!! The first store i looked in didnt have them there. but! there were 2 sets left in the 2nd store i went to, and i managed to snag one, 2 weeks ago. Sooo pretty! and the perfect size for cooking for smaller amounts of people (aka, just for me sometimes!)


I had some leftover celeriac and potato (and cream, and cheese, and onion) from my week's CSA share, and so i decided to make a gratin (though i was very tempted to just do another celeriac salad because it was so so tasty!). annnnd the gratin was delicious. once again playing with the mandoline. i also had a bunch of carrots leftover. i <3 cooked carrots. they are kind of awesome. but they often take a while to cook. and lets be honest, i am not super patient. but! sliced super thin with a mandoline, they cook faster! with butter and brown sugar and delicious. also, steamed some cabbage for dinner, because saw it at whole foods and yum.

such a tasty dinner! especially with some bread covered in the brie that em and bryan brought last week!
