I just had spaghetti (I use angel hair) with turkey meatballs.

I also like the shell-shaped pasta, esp. the tiny shells.

Lasting legacy from my mother-- the dish scrubber she gave me a few years ago that I just used-- "it's wonderful, gets absolutely everything off but it's soooo gentle!" has wrecked the inside enamel of my Le Creuset.

That thing I will probably never be able to buy more than once in my life, that thing I saved up forever for, that thing that totally changed my cooking game. Sure I bought it 50% off at a discount store, but it's still more than I could ever dream about spending again.

For good measure-- I was using both my Le Creuset and my cheaper Sur La Table knockoff and washed them at the same time, so now that's wrecked too.

Over $200 worth of beautiful, lifechanging cookware. I was so proud of these.

Next time I have to scrub anything I'm going back to plain old baking soda on my sponge. It's worked for my whole life, why did I have to change it???

AA-that is distressing -but perhaps not entirely fatal:

Ah thanks SD!

But they aren't scratches (I wish it were just a scratch or chip...) it's that the entire glossy coat of the enamel on both pots is GONE. Scrubbed clean off.

My guess is it's not dangerous to cook with, but the bottoms will continue to degrade, the food will stick, and become impossible to deglaze fully.

I take great care not to scratch them but the SLT one has a few chips in the bottom outside- I just seal them with a little oil to prevent rust and they're good to go.

I'm so sad for these pots. They were two of my most prized possessions, they survived the fire (mainly sitting in a sealed and water-damaged apartment for a month) without rusting, which is more than can be said for a lot of my metal cookware.

Another lesson in why I shouldn't get attached to things, I guess.

This sounds distressing, but maybe all is not lost? Maybe something on these pages will be useful?
https://www.chowhound.com/post/le-cr...-492530?page=3
https://www.chowhound.com/post/ruine...-679467?page=3

You might try asking about it on that site? Sounds like a lot of people with vast experience with Le Creuset.

Just had a kinda long talk with h. Well, long for him anyway. He rarely breaks away from the tv long enough for an actual long talk. But he let me talk out more of my feelings about leaving t. He said he thinks that I just need to leave it alone now and let her be dead to me. I said that I don't know if I could do that. that i want some kind of closure, i feel like we have no closure right now. and that if i do it his way and then say a year from now learn of her death i would be consumed with self-hatred for not going back once for a closure session to say goodbye. he said well i don't know what to say. he said you love her, admit it. i'm like **** dude i've never doubted that i love her and i know that i love her too much. i asked him to please not lecture me, because it started sounding like a lecture, i said what i really need is you to listen, i need to talk through this and let myself feeeeeeel this in order to work through it. and i told him i know that spending a weekend with my girls in MO is going to really really be helpful. he also said why don't you use her sorta like a prostitute and pay her twice a year just to talk to her. he was trying to make me laugh i think but that just made me cry more.

informal couch poll - in my situation, do you think you would feel worse NOT having a closure session? Or having a closure session and then having to do some of the grieving all over again? granted, i don't have to decide anything right now. I have a month. I may feel completely different by then. I hope I do. I just have this thing you know that i hate not knowing things - i think i have to make the perfect decision right now, and there is no perfect, right decision here which is another thing h said.

I know i'm getting really annoying for continuing to post about this. h has been more helpful than ever lately, which i am grateful for, but he has his limits, so here i am. at least y'all can choose to not read my posts. he's stuck in the same house with me.

Thanks for listening.

You would regret it 100% if you didn't do another session. I feel like you are putting SO much pressure on yourself to be done with therapy. I am confused, because it seems to be coming mostly from you, yet you seem to be in real turmoil over it.

I know I don't know any details about what happened in the session where you said "awful" things to her...but, I don't think it means you NEED to end it right now. I don't know. It all seems very complicated, but just from an outsider's point of view--I can't see your T kicking you out of therapy all together. I maybe am confused on this email you sent after that session, and got the impression she thought you were done?

Anyway, I wouldn't cancel it.
Thanks for this!

I think it might be prudent to go back and clarify what is real versus what you have possibly placed on the therapist. I agree there is no perfect anything - but a lot of this seems to be mind reading on your part and it appears to me that usually when you go and actually talk to the therapist - things are not always as you have imagined. I also don't understand why you spend so much energy and angst over the end therapy when you seem to derive something from it - at least it seems like you do when you are not waiting for signs or dreams etc that it is over.

I thought you had agreed on a termination session? In a month or something like that?

Couch.. I need to vent. I took a job as secretary at my daughter's dance studio, in return she gets free classes. But let me tell you.. dance moms are a special breed of crazy. I seriously got text messages at 10pm tonight from a dance mom cussing me out.. now, I can't sleep because I am all shook up. Luckily boss has my back.
