THIS is the one I was looking for - the adventure! I had my own adventure making it years ago after reading this story. I wanted to share this with a cousin that I have been picking at about them cheating by ordering the kit from D'artagnan. BTW - my adventure was in finding the pig's foot, getting it split, and cooking the broth with it - my husband had a horrible case of the flu and the smell was bad, like chitlins which I was used to from growing up but which hubby had never smelled. He loved the cassoulet so I have let him believe all these years that the stink he smelled was just that way because he was so sick. LOLAlso I found your "Adventure" series @music-city-missy

So assembly day comes. First I start with the Staub cast iron pan that I think might be about 6 quarts. Duck fits nicely covering the bottom. Put a layer of beans and then start with the pork and OH BOY we are already up over 1/2 full. Remove the pork and move duck and first layer of beans...recipeswap.orgCassoulet Adventure Comes to and end.....
Decided to try and make it through class tonight. I just had to show them that cassoulet after all this if you know what I mean.
