Some people never get enough jewelry. They love their diamonds. Others have a closet full of shoes, somewhat resembling a mini shoe store. I love my diamonds and shoes, but what I really love is to be turned loose in a kitchen store with a credit card. I love to browse among the dishes, flatware, and cookware. When I take a trip, my souvenir will likely be some new item for my kitchen. When I was working on how to prepare this recipe, though, I realized I needed yet another item for my kitchen. A braiser would be perfect for a cut of meat like this chuck roast. I made do with an enameled cast iron Dutch oven, but I’m bumping the braiser to the top of my wish list.
