365 photos by Marisa McClellan

My friend Marisa McClellan is shooting a photo per-day and posting it to her blog (and Flickr account if you’d prefer). Most of her photos are fairly drool worthy but the above tips the scales (you know, because of the cast iron).

She’s up to 38 or so. I’ll be watching every single one.

Other projects like this exist on Flickr too such as the 365 days group and Project 365.

Duck eggs and bacon breakfast sandwich

This is a must link because there is cast iron, bacon, butter, duck eggs and cheese in this video. And, although I use chicken eggs, is pretty much exactly how I make my breakfast sandwiches.

Warning: The video is a bit long and may lead to extreme hunger and jealousy.

This morning is when our new apartment started to feel like home.

Lunch: Eggs in a basket

Belatedly inspired by Jeff Johns, I decided to reward myself after a decent 5K jog this afternoon with some eggs for lunch. I love eggs. I love toast. I love cast iron.

Omlettes for breakfast

Mmm, bacon. Seriously, if you don’t like cast iron – we may not get along. I won’t hate you or anything, I just won’t invite you to parties, want to hang out with you and discuss topics that are important to you, or generally take your opinion on anything seriously.

Porcelain enamel cast iron pot

The pot Eliza bought me

I’ve wanted one of these porcelain cast iron pots for a very long time. You’ll often times see these used by professionals, on television, or by the more serious “chef” in your family.

Eliza surprised me by picking up a 6.5qt. version for me. I can’t be happier, as she was able not only to find a great deal, but the quality of the pot is extraordinary. These suckers are well made, sturdy, heavy, and gorgeous.

The very same night she gave it to me, I made some deep fried chicken in it. I made the oil temperature a bit too hot, so I burned the first 2 pieces, but they were test pieces anyway. This pot does an amazing job with heat disbursement. I had absolutely no trouble bringing the oil up-to-temperature, and then being able to adjust it.

I’m looking forward to using this for many kitchen projects, along with the cook book of course.

Thank you, again, for a great gift Eliza.
