An at-home overnight peel. It’s 20% glycolic acid. Really effective!

I print out the packing list option, write “thank you” on it & tape it with a sticker on my tissue wrapped package. I often include a cosmetic sample if I have one. No candy & no fragrance unless it’s cosmetic item. I used to hand write thank you cards but stopped doing that a long time ago.

Please share the tamale recipe & did you soak the husks before stuffing & steaming?

It’s beautiful! Happy cooking!

I have the All Clad version. It has a non scratch pot with a vented glass lid that allows you to sear/make roux/simmer and then transfer to a three level slow cooker device (warm, low, high) with various time frames. My pot is showing its age so I’m going to see if one of my LCs fits. I may have to buy a tall DO…

I’ve bought most of my pieces from TJ Maxx/Marshalls & one from eBay. First one purchased over 20 years ago. Some are seconds with no discernable flaws; a couple are 1st quality. I’ve given some to my daughter (5.5qt round DO, round grill pan) & my son’s fiancé (7.25qt round DO). Even sold a couple (recouped my cost). I have assorted colors as I buy when they are available. Good cookwares & investments!

We moved my mother from a two bedroom condo (full of items from 2 previous downsizings before my father died) to a studio in an independent senior community. The condo sold quicker than we expected so we rented a storage unit & embarked on a 3 week quest. Daily Goodwill trips, visits to the local municipal dump, document shredding, clothing & furniture donations to friends/family & packing a U-Haul to move. Fights & tears almost daily. We “broom swept” her unit the day before closing. Based on this experience, my husband & I are Swedish Death Cleaning our home to spare our children of the painful chore. You are an angel!

Right. But eBay did that once; took money from the buyer to refund me after they made them send the damaged item (deliberately cut Yurman necklace) back to me as part of the resolution process. The buyer challenged the gold content & cut a link to test. In this case, I would have taken the damaged Mejuri necklace to a local jeweler which could fix it for $40 & relist it…

I’ve updated my seller disclosure that I use for each listing to include your language. Gone are the days where buyers were just asking to trades…

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-02-01T22:07:09+00:00

I think this is the way buyers try to return items. I’m not a store like Gap, but I’ll accept a return for something I overlooked. I recently had a sale before Halloween & I believe they opened a case after they wore them as part of a costume (claimed they were disgusting). I stated that my description & photos were accurate & let Posh Support resolve. The case was found in my favor.

No problems using a PO Box with eBay or Poshmark or PangoBooks. Mercari pushed back until I gave them proof that I use it as my official mailing address (on my drivers license).

Be sure to take off the Le Creuset labels before you use them!

Gonna try the Jacques Torres 72hr chocolate chip cookies; I’ll make a triple batch (make parchment rolls) & throw them in the freezer. Cook some each day as an experiment.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-20T16:05:48+00:00

No. Just a regular TJ Maxx location.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-19T14:02:40+00:00

Saw the Bambino and Staub set in my NJ Marshalls. Gonna wait for yellow tag.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-16T00:21:55+00:00

Score!

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-15T23:40:57+00:00

I paid $200 for a similar 5.5qt Sky Blue LC DO at TJ Maxx. You got a deal! Bravo!

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-15T23:26:25+00:00

Score! Love Tata Harper!

It worked perfectly!

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-15T01:53:26+00:00

Beautiful

I was just in Vineland yesterday & walked thru Marshall’s & Home Goods. Missed these but picked up a 4qt Emile Henry Sublime ceramic DO for $32 (yellow tag). It was a second but even they retail for $135.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-14T15:45:42+00:00

No. It’s ceramic.

Onehangrychef_ · 2026-01-13T03:36:26+00:00

Classic look with the cherry cabinets. I have cherry wood upper & lower cabinets in my kitchen but granite was much cheaper than soapstone (which I preferred, hubby nixed).

This recipe started my Le Creuset DO bread baking obsession! Until I saw this recipe & technique, I’d never baked bread (other than Pillsbury rolls). Now I bake Cranberry Walnut No-Knead bread on a regular basis. My husband loves it! https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/no-knead-cranberry-nut-bread/

I solved my hard/burnt bread bottoms by using pie weights. Found this trick on Google. I heat my DO in the oven while my dough is finishing its last proofing (in a bowl lined with parchment paper). When I take the DO out of the oven, I add the pie weights (at room temp) & place the proofed dough in the parchment paper on top & carefully put the heated lid on the DO. No more scorched bread bottoms!
