    I said I was through buying LeCreuset cookware due to cabinet overload, but a sale on this 3.75 quart "cassadou" sucked me in. It weighs 11.8 pounds empty. :eek: It's 11" wide and 6" deep, so will make a good chicken fryer.

    I’ve got a stew pot like that @Beth Gallagher mainly use in winter when I want to make a stew cause they are really good for browning the meat to give the stew that Mmmm taste , I call it my “Huey pot” cause it’s blue just like a cook called Huey used to use on TV …he was a very overweight cook ….his foods were full of butter ..didn’t matter what he was cooking he’d say just add a little butter …..a little bit it was usually about 200 grams ++
    Mine weighs a ton as well it’s well used hubby bought it for me for my 50 th birthday the inside was a creamy enamel colour but now the bottom in particular is more a fawn / light brow colour

    I have RAM for the last machine I built, and also two 2TB external SSDs. The externals were 23 dollars per and I have no idea if it will be a good deal or a bad deal but for the money it is a good gamble. If they work as they should it will give me storage to install programs on the new machine and also the 2nd one can remove all those tons and tons of non program stuff on my desktop of this machine. I expect to pickup a tremendous boost in speed once that is done. I saw one review over a year ago on the same drive and it said that the one they purchased only had 64GB of space. I find that hard to believe that amazon would sell something that was anything less than advertised. Most likely the person was a newbie and ran some formatting program that was set improperly. I am not sure just what is inside one of these externals and if one does go belly up I plan on dissecting it take a peek of the externals.

    I believe to have that much free space they must use a small M2 card that you would find in a laptop. It would already be small enough to fit in a small enclosure and all that would be needed is the USB cable. They are not the latest speed USB but the older slow type. I am not interested in speed I want just storage capacity. On the RAM I bought the same brand I bought for the other machine I finished last month. I was not able to get the real 3600 DRAM speed and was only able to get 3554 without making some voltage and other tweaks. I just run it at that speed and it does no harm. This time around I ordered a much faster CL 16 speed and I should see 3600 without any issues as the slower one. I had bought what the msi list for ram certified to work but the motherboard and cpu are supposed to run 3200 speed RAM which of course they do but the RAM will run 3600 with some more voltage and timing settings which I do not want to do since I don't want to overclock the system.
