Depends. Does the small penis come with either an agile tongue or a large wallet?

He can go down on me and use a toy. Of course, if this were a continuing relationship, he'd have to be OK with me fucking other guys when I was in the mood for something meaty.

Don't forget the 8-ball.

I seem to have lost all the cookware in the breakup and all I have is a 12" calphalon omelette pan. This cool weather has me hankering to cook pot roast and homemade spaghetti sauce like my German mama used to make. After that, I probably won't cook for another 6 months, but nevertheless would like to start out with a high-quality stock pot and a couple of sauce and saute pans.

I was thinking of picking up some all-clad stainless steel pieces, but don't want to have to scrub and polish my cookware after every use. But I'm not wild about anodized aluminum for everything.

Anyway, I'd welcome recommendations, both for the specific items I should buy as well as brands/types. It's not important to me that my cookware match - I don't display the stuff, I just want to start to collect the best quality and most useful pieces for my needs.

Sorry to be so boring.

I'm thinking that someone should throw a breakup party for all of us recently broken-up types.

But to answer your question, I love Le Creuset cookware. It actually makes me happy to cook with it. It is very heavy though.

All Clad makes a great covered pot with a non-stick interior and glass lid in 2, 3, or 6 litre. Sauteuse avec couvercle (intérieur anti-adhérent)


It's in the back there. Makes great large quantities of pasta and cleans up great.

I love love love my Mauviel copper pots. I'm pretty sure you can get them at Williams Sonoma, and I bought a 5 piece set a few years ago for less than $500.

I prefer Calphalon to All Clad, but not for any good reason beyond that I really learned to cook using Calphalon, and so I seem to be able to "read" the pan a little better. Calphalon just came out with a new non-stick line, which I'm pretty eager to try. I may buy the big roaster and do the turkey for Thanksgiving in it.

You need, at minimum, a 9" fry pan, a 2 quart covered saucepan and 3 quart covered sauté pan. A 12" fry pan is a nice addition. I use my paella pan all the time. A roaster is probably a necessity too.

I got the all-clad pots that are matte on the outside. I just don't worry about the insides that much (whether they are shiny or not). The only caveat I have is that if you are not cooking with gas, and you have a dark glass-top electric stove, and you slide pans on it, the matte seems to leave marks sometimes. They come off, but it's a pain in the ass to use the special scrubby cleaner and everything.

ETA I have a Le Creuset casserole (I think that's what it's called) and a little tiny saucepan and frying pan and I like them a lot -- cook well, clean up great. But, I don't think I would like them for regular-sized saucepans or, particularly, frying pans because they are really heavy and those are pans that seem to get moved around more than casseroles.

ETA again to say I got this http://ww1.williams-sonoma.com/cat/p...est=1&flash=on (but in the matte finish -- MC2?) (with an inset that goes in the larger saucepan for steaming stuff) and have quite liked it. I had had a few good pots and some crap and it replaced the crap; I also have a smaller, non-stick saute pan that I use for smaller things. And the smaller stock pot/casserole I mentioned before.

Now I want to shop for housewares.

This break up party should involve gifts (housewares and electronics would be particularly welcome), free alcohol, and sex.

You know, like a wedding reception, but without the ceremony, cash, or commitment.

pot roast and homemade spaghetti sauce like my German mama...

Only a German would dare of eating pot roast with spaghetti sauce.

Carry on.

Because the guys get to the majors generally aren't the good bunters. Though Jeter laid one down when he had to.

Not recently broken up, but I'm beginning to think that I need to acquire a cat or two to cement the spinster status. .

My stuff is mainly Le Creuset and Calphelon, but my favorite pot is a bright red 2 quart Bistro Enamel casserole by Dansk. I like the prices over at the Chef's Catalogue, though Amazon has some good deals (especially for Calphelon) too.
