Top pots

Carrying on in the looking back at the past year at things that have been good, we have my top five pots.

Pot number one is my saute (or skillet) pan. I cook many things in it, soup, sausage casserole, chicken in sauce, a fry up, stir fry, curry etc. It is incredibly versatile, non-stick and a very lovely size. It is the pot I use more than any other. Number 1 pot - saute (or skillet) pan.

Pot number two is the pot I keep pens in. I keep pens in two different places, and the place the pen is kept in is determined by the kind of pen it is. Nice pens (gel pens, shiny pens, fountain pens etc) are kept in a drawer. This is is because I don't need to use them all that often so I don't need to access them easily. Everyday pens are kept in a pot on the side next to my tissue box and a stereo. The pot is purple, has a pleasant curve on one side, and was bought very cheaply in a sale. It is a top pot for many reasons, it is pleasing to look at, it is big enough but not too big, it sits nicely on the side and it holds pens that I need quite often, so I can always find them. Number 2 pot - the pot I keep pens in.

Pot number three is the one under the sofa (some may describe it as a box). This is used to keep presents I have bought people in advance of the present giving situation, and is also used to house bits and pieces I have picked up ready for Treginnis in the summer. I like this box because of it's contents more than the box itself. The contents remind me of loved people and places, and when I put things in there ready for the summer it reminds me that God loves us all very much, and that he wants the children we work with to know that and to love him too. Number 3 pot - the one under sofa (some may describe it as a box).

Pot number four is a small frying pan. The pan is the right size for frying off onions for onion gravy, for cooking a couple of sausages, or for cooking a fried egg. It was given to me by someone I love very much, and so whilst it can cook some of my favourite foods, using it also reminds me of that person. Number 4 pot - a small frying pan.

Pot number five is a small red pot covered in silver foil. This pot is kept in the office, and was used in the telling of Joseph's story as the cup that was placed in Benjamin's sack. I like this partly because I like shiny things, but also coz the assembly it was used in was a good one, and because I like Joseph's story it has much to teach us as well just being a good story. Number 5 pot - a small red pot covered in silver foil.
