Seen from a traditional "bird's eye" view, this handsome oven can be glimpsed at from a more thorough lens. Initially, perhaps, there was a sense of dismay at the first approach of a missing griddle. But, alas, more space for kitchen tools and the blatant excuse to garnish this debonair suit with a serious raw cast iron griddle.
The Wedgewood stove demands attention. At least one double-take is in order and stove will not settle for dismissive tsk tsks from the modern mind.
Convection? Pshaw! Induction? Spare me. Electric? Must I comment? Aga? Well, we are cousins...
First item of business? Baked Chicken. Second--- well you'll have to come back the next Wedgewood Portraiture series, a Salon of serious critique!
I think I have a problem... appliance porn is superceding my love of food porn.
Dammit, shuna!

Is that lettuce in your frying pan?

Louisa---
you are so silly!
well, I guess it could be, but it's escarole, my favorite staple leafy green in the winter. I tend to eat a mixture of it sauteed with the more tender parts raw.
For cooked lettuce, I prefer Romaine though, if you must know.

I had a Wedgewood floor heater once. Not sexy like the stove, alas.
Shuna, even your frying pan handle looks good.
When I was a kid, my mom gave away all the Le Creuset when she broke her foot on the teapot. I've spent my adulthood amassing my own collection.
Will there be a third portrait? Here's hoping...

Ahh, the nostalgia I could bake into sweets wot I had a beauty like yours. The old fashioned girl in me is curling her toes with delight. I would be jelous if I wasn't sure this handsome devil is in such good hands.

Shuna... I like the 300 pixels-- it spurs the belly of interest

Ah, the memories your picture invokes! Warm corners,playing quietly, while the house fills with scents of warm lemons, and cooked celery. A feeling of home. Thanks!
