Since picking up a new skillet, we've been using it all the time. Here are two instances from this weekend. I made carmelized leek risotto and managed to snap a few photos in the process. I love working with leeks- all the shades of green you see and the sweet, oniony smell that isn't overpowering.

Starting to carmelize.

And finally, getting to the creamy risotto stage.

Then this morning, I decided to make that Austin specialty of onion, pepper, tortilla, egg,and cheese: migas. I could go on and on about the dish but you should just read this native Texan's praise of migas and try her recipe.
Sauteing the onion, peppers, and tomatoes.

We'll never forget the "skillet morning" we had with you both after our first date night. ;)
Meleah has really taken to the cast-iron skillet lately (as well as her Le Creuset, of course). She just made "Spanish Tortillas" in ours last night. I don't know how you ever survived without one!
