Not Le Creuset, But Close Enough

Is it possible to be in love with one's cookware? Meet my new pot, soon to be filled with yum soups, stews and sauces. It's Martha Stewart's, on sale from Macy's - it weighs a ton and I have to begin a new weight-lifting regime just to be able to heft it from shelf to stove.

I'm obsessing over making homemade stock and may soon have to break my lifelong moratorium on purchasing veal shanks. --cds
