Kris, Jessamyn, and Abigail Milo

Pro and I ordered a pot and two pans. Hopefully, this will complete our cookware collection. Our entire collection is now either Calphaln One, Calphalon One Non-Stick, or Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel. All three lines are excellent and i highly recommend them. We had a couple cheap pans which we can now get rid of. Thankfully, we use all of our pots and regularly with the exception of our 7 quart sauteuse pan (it’s a saute pan without a long handle), which is bigger than we expected and is hard to cook with. So this is what we got:

1 quart pan, 2.5 quart pan, 4.5 quart pan, 6.5 quart pot with pasta insert, 8 quart stock pot, 8″ nonstick fry pan, 10″ nonstick fry pan, 12″ fry pan, 9″ stir fry pan, and the previously mentioned 7 quart sauteuse pan.

That should be all we need.

At some point my movie and food reviews have been forgotten about … oh well. Anyway, Jessamyn and I went to the Barnsider last night for dinner (The Melting Pot in Crossgates was booked solid – but we want to check that place out). I had forgotten how good the food was at the Barnsider … unbelievable. Fried Calamari for an appetizer, salad bar, New York Sirloin (14oz and rare), rice pilaf, and apple crisp for dessert. The wife had fried calamari, salad bar, New York Sirloin (7oz and med rare) and baked scallops, baked potato, and tiramaso for dessert. Stinkin’ awesome food! Add a couple of glasses of wine and some ginger ale’s and the tab came to $95 (before tip), but man it was good. It’s not often we go out to someplace really nice … we had a great time (Abi’s nana had babysitting duty for a few hours).
