_MG_5892 ...but aren't they cute?  The other day Rich and I were in Bloomingdales (first time ever!) when I spotted these cute little Le Creuset individual pots.  And they were blue - my favorite color.  And they were on sale!  They were most definitely calling my name.  When I pointed them out to Rich, he'd already spotted them, and knew I'd want to give them a good home.  Not that we NEED one more piece of kitchen equipment, but obviously "need" isn't the operative word here.   So, now they're here...and after several tries we've managed to shuffle things around so they actually fit in one of the kitchen drawers.

Now the question is...what do I use them for?  They measure 3.5 inches across by 2 inches deep.  Are they big enough for soup bowls, maybe a French Onion soup?  Or, maybe they would be a good size for a chicken pot pie?  Never mind that I've never made a pot pie of any kind.  Perhaps individual potato gratins?  What shall I try first?
