Kitchen gear evokes very particular feelings too. About seasons, food, childhood memories. This Le Creuset Dutch oven is appropriate for use during a Vermont autumn. It invokes a mature, grown-up sort of contentment. Mine is lime green, suitable for souffles. Or savory flans. Like asparagus. If you have kids about to start school, orange is the more befitting color. Or if you live on the east coast. Lime green is for people who live in California and have starter kitchens.
I spent Sunday afternoon at the Heath store on Beverly. It is like a temple. People talk in hushed whispers, look at seconds attentively and reverently. Have you been to this place? I make monthly pilgrimages to buy a mug or a plate. It is the kind of place where you go and think about your aspirational life.
