Pots and Pans

Have you heard the story of my bridal registry fail?  When registering for pots and pans Hubs and I picked a set that we liked because they were name brand, non-stick, and nicer looking than the hodge-podge collection of pots and pans we had at the time.

My parents were awesome enough to splurge and buy the (kind of expensive) Calphalon pots and pans set that we registered for and gave them to us for our wedding gift.  After the honeymoon, while unpacking gifts and getting acclimated to newlywed life we opened the pots and pans set.  Yep, we unpacked every pot and pan out of the tightly packed box and I started to load our dishwasher with them to get them clean and ready for use.

When. All. Of. A. Sudden...We read the box.  The pots and pans were not dishwasher safe! GASP!  We instantly were like, "Oh, no...not us!  We are not a hand-washing kind of family!"  While disappointed and giggling at the oversight we spent the next hour figuring out how to tightly pack the set back into the box it arrived in to return it to the store in our error.

5 months passed and we didn't take any action to resolve our pots and pans error.

Until TODAY.

Today I ordered a very similar Calphalon pots and pans set that is both non-stick and dishwasher safe!  To top it off I scored a great deal online!  There was a great online promotion that I was able to apply and I had a sizeable gift card to apply toward the purchase.  What's even better?  We are getting an extra Calphalon pan and a Calphalon utensil set for FREE because of the promotion!

I am psyched.  Now it's really time to learn how to cook...
