How a Pot Made Me Rethink My Life

When we got married, we were gifted a massive pot.  I mean massive.  20 quarts.  I knew what it was for, but it sort of seemed like a waste.  Over the last almost five years, it's mostly been a project just to find a place to store it.  I've used it as storage....
