A transcription of what was handed out at the store.  Stoneware Care & Use Getting Started All items in the Le Creuset stoneware range are original designs and have been hand-crafted, making each piece unique. Due to this uniqueness, there may be slight variations from piece to piece. Le Creuset Stoneware is safe for use in the microwave, freezer, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and broiler. The maximum oven-safe temperature is 500 F / 260 C. The enameled surface is easy to clean and scratch resistant. The enameled surface is completely hygienic and will not absorb odors or flavors.

Cleaning: Before the 1" use, wash the dish in hot, soapy water, and rinse and dry thoroughly. For most day-to-day cleaning, cool the dish for a few minutes before washing and drying, or wash in the dishwasher, allowing the ...

In our owner's suite bath the light switch is on the outside of the door, so walking into a lit bathroom requires exposing the person in bed to bright light. Not a good thing.  The Lutron makes a series of switches that can have small remotes that can be mounted on the wall that also control the light. I believe the product line is called Caseta, and there are several choices of switch styles in the line.    I originally got a very complex switch face version kit through Amazon.

I was worried that the switch face looked too complex and upset that there were no switch plate covers, so I returned the kit.  I went to Home Depot and I found a better kit. Also Lutron, but this style is called 'Diva' I think, and it has a simple paddle switch and a very narrow dimmer slider on the side. I got  the Lutron  "Diva Smart Dimmer Switch 3-Way Kit wi...

 Puerco Pibil Fundamentally, this is the recipe provided on the extras of the DVD   for “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” (cooking demonstrated by the director, Robert Rodrigez) but with some commentary from other sources as well. Puerco Pibil is the dish Johnny Depp's character orders again and again until he finds the perfect version. Depp explains to Antonio Banderas' character: "It is a slow-roasted pork. Nothing fancy, just happens to be my favorite, and I order it at every dive I go to in this country, and honestly, this is the best it's ever been. ... It is so good that when I'm finished with it, I'll pay my check, walk straight into the kitchen and shoot the cook. Because that's what I do. I restore the balance to this country." This is a dish well known in Yucatan."Pibil" refers to the Maya method of steaming meats in a pit, a "pib" in the Maya language. This dish is also known as Cochinita Pibil. The difference being that...
