Seri­ously, Food Net­work is going to be at the receiv­ing end of a Come to Jesus chat from my wal­let.  Between the Le Creuset, Vietri, Emile Henry, etc. that I lust after and adore, my wal­let is ready to smack me to high heaven.  I mean, if you add up what this gal can spend in a year on just kitchen stuff and culi­nary exploits – well, we’re talk­ing about a pair of Loubous – maybe more.

A year or so ago, I decided to add to my cook­ware col­lec­tion with some stain­less.  I was never a fan of the All Clad – I wanted some­thing that looked dif­fer­ent, chic and well, like it belonged in my kitchen.  So, after many an episode of Sim­ply Deli­cioso, I real­ized that the chic cook­ware Ingrid Hoff­man cooked with was, indeed, Cal­phalon – specif­i­cally the Con­tem­po­rary Stain­less line.  I bought my first piece a few months ago and loved it.  I’ve added to it bit by bit and have quite a few things on my wish­list.  How­ever thanks to one Ms. Sunny Ander­son and her Chicken & Waf­fles seg­ment that aired this week­end, I real­ized that I want, need and MUST HAVE the Cal­phalon Con­tem­po­rary Stain­less Roaster Pan. I mean, I could roast a chicken myself and not have to run to the store for a rotis­serie chicken.  It’s not just for hol­i­days with a big turkey or ham – and eco­nom­i­cal.  Well, kind of.  Granted that I could get a pair of gor­geous nude “Paris” Black/White Ruf­fled Pumps for the same price as the pan but still – gorg. right?

Thank­fully I have a 20% off coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond that might be put towards this lovely – well, after I’m done unpack­ing all my pots and pans for the kitchen…
