An Emotional Wreck over Cast Iron


So, without delving deeply into my peronal life, it should be known that for the time being, I do happen to have some extra time on my hands. And it's great! I probably won't get time like this off anytime in the next few years, so I am trying to make the most of it. But sometimes, simple things tend to consume my mind, and I just begin to wonder....what if?

So I was surfing around two days ago, and stumbled across a Kitchenaid cast iron pot at Canadian Tire for $29.99 on sale, regular price is..get this $99.99! Oh my! I had been thinking about purchasing one of these, so that I can practice making my own artisan breads, and possibly think of other interesting ways to use it! I immediately became very excited, and searched for the nearest Canadian Tire. I found it, but at this point in the day, it was already getting dark outside, so decided to put off this purchase to the next day.

So the next day rolls along, I have no idea where my morning went, but by the time I checked in the afternoon, they were all sold out at almost every location, except for one...in Quebec! I was so upset. I don't have a car, so this was a major ordeal. I was actually very upset. I knew now that there was a chance I wouldnt get my hands on this cast iron pot, so i had to have it. I was obsessed with the thought of this pot. I could not stop thinking about this stupid pot! I knew that if I didn't get this pot, I would wonder what it would be like if I had the pot. (I know, I'm crazy) Luckily, the sister and bro in law saw how distraught I was over this pot, and booked a car for an hour with their AutoShare, and got me over there to get it.

But, I just thought I would share this moment with you. This is not the first time I have gone crazy over kitchen items.
