Le Creuset: Is it worth it?
I LOVE my Le Creuset dutch oven pot! There are no substitute for this great product. Quality produces quality. I"ve made Osso Bucco, oven baked lambs, filet mignon, etc..and everytime it comes out juicier, tender and so tasty, not to mention how it perfumes the house with such a sensational scent.
Do NOT settle for less, plus the pots will last you a very long time. A good investment.
Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 2: What's Your Favorite Childhood Dessert Memory?
When we were young and lived at home, my brothers and I shoveled snow off our sidewalk and driveway during the dead cold winter. Afterwards, my mom always had a pot of hot chocolate (she used Nestle's Abuelita bars). She'd also rip open a bag of fluffy fat marshmellows so we can eat them and/or dunk them in our hot chocolate drink. (sigh...)

I'm glad there's no rules about gratuity, I've had some great service, then i've had some nightmare services. I love it when the server knows his food, wine, and even gives us some of his personal recommendations from the menu.
Then there's the flip side, clueless servers, and you can tell they are dying to go home. I have been waited on with the server talking on his CELL PHONE! Yeah, I'm going to tip you for talking to your friend during service. NO WAY! We have witnessed arguing about who's tables are getting people between staff (yes in front of customers), whine about how tired they are, has a short-term memory, and look miserable to be at work in general. No, uh uh, no reward for that. If I behaved like that at my job, I'd be fired! It's not a pleasant experience so why should I even bother tipping.
Honey attracts more bees, even if you gotta fake it. For an awesome service all around, I don't mind overtipping, I have given 25-30%. But for a mediocre service, why bother.
The best service is the waitstaff that take their job seriously, and know their stuff! Because how you feel about your job always reflects your performance.
