Pretty much everything I post here could be put into the "useless" category. It's why I love this place!
My food science class made:
Ice Cream - phase change
Lemon Bars - tempering
Soft Pretzels - changing the Ph so it browns yet stays soft
Pasta - gluten
Beignets - also gluten
French Fries - Maillard reaction
The French fries looked like a cross between mashed potatoes and hash browns. How do you mess up French fries?!

And that's why we love you.
I think La Crueset makes a sauce pan.
The 5 1/2 qt. Dutch oven I want is $340.00.
I won't pay that much for one but I'll keep my eye out for garage sales.

Theirs is enameled cast iron, which increases the cost a lot.
Nobody seems to make a raw/un-enameled saucepan.
My only la creuset cookware is one of these: https://www.lecreuset.com/chefs-oven.
My $20.00 garage sale buy.

Probably because you can't cook anything acidic in it. Many sauces contain acidic foods like tomatoes.

Anything we've seen used has been trashed. The enamel is cracked, etc. Probably from people putting cold water in a hot saucepan.

Costco sold a 6 quart enameled cast iron dutch oven which was good for the price.

We have one, I bought one for Nanilei.
It is enamel coated though, not cast iron. Still very easy to clean back to as-new status pretty much no matter what you cook in there.

There is an online shop in Lake Forest, CA that sells Le Creuset at great prices plus - get this - free shipping!
Now I gotta remember the name of it.
Like half price of all those snooty stores that sell them like Sur la Table and Williams-Sonoma.

We have a Le Creuset stock pot I need to replace. The lid and the mouth of the pan are rusting at the seam where the enamel ends and is covered by a chrome ring. It was an item that we got free when we purchased some spendy pots. It is definitely lower quality than either the enamel covered iron or stoneware stuff, but it has lasted many years.

So Helen has been making a squeaky noise when you start her up sometimes, then it went to a kind of shriek that would pop up for 1-2 seconds every now and then, to where ok I don't want to drive her anymore.
We had our mechanic friend stop by today.
Water pump.
It was one of my guesses:
Alternator
Water Pump
Idler pulley
I knew it was not power steering because that is electric on Helen.
It did not seem to be A/C, although I suppose it could have been the pulley.
It just sounds like a bearing was shot.
Our mechanic friend just hopes that the pump impeller did not send a bunch of shrapnel into the cooling system.

So I just got back from AutoZone with a new pump.
TheBus stops right behind AutoZone, so that was convenient.
Mechanic friend returns tomorrow.
I feel bad because I spent all my extra $ on the pump.
Nanilei made him brownies.
I'll pay him back soon.
