MN Potter's Sharing the Fire

It has taken me a few times coming back to watch this.  Well worth it.

One break for a great spinach salad with Florida tomatoes.  No kidding, bringing back fruit in a cooler gave me the best tasting ones I've had since I picked my own.  My plants haven't produced here this year.  The salad has yesterday's left over guacamole drizzled in the central part, a few dried cranberry buds all over, and some honey mustard dressing just on the outer leaves.

This morning I took a break to have some red grapefruit with honey drizzled on it.  Can't remember where I learned this but it's such a heavenly combination of flavors.

What kind of clay project are you working on these days?

I've decided to give each of my sons and grandchildren a plate with their names on them for my 70th birthday.  Hey, it commemorates not only my birth, but the first time all of them will have gathered for a celebration of my family.  (The son number one's ex-in-laws have annual Christmas Eve parties, and I think we've all been there one or two times.  But now my son is divorced, and even though we are still invited, it might be a bit strange if his ex has another date for their party sometime.)

So today I threw some plates.  Can't trim them for a day though, at least because I'm busy at the times the community studio is open.  That should be ok.  If worse comes to worse, I'll trim them in 2 days, and with the humidity we've been having, 2 days may be just about right.

OK, lots of people keep saying they're coming over for something or another.  And I just wanted to drink a beer and relax this evening.  (Oh oh, you've found me out, I write my posts the night before they are posted) So I'll try to be able to walk straight if I need to.
