cook + clay: breakfast brisket tacos + handbuilding and glazing in progress

I did go back to Aptos St. BBQ for breakfast. I'm just sorry it was too early to have a pear cider with my brisket.                      

I didn't think a flour tortilla would work for a taco, but it was the perfect vehicle for the over easy egg, salsa ranchera, brisket and pickled jalapeños. And I loved the crunch of the jalapeños, and so this week, I think I'll make pickled jalapeños and either make carne asado tacos with leftover steak and flour tortillas and maybe pickled red onions too.

Back home from Santa Cruz and Aptos, it was a Sunday late afternoon and evening of clay. First to the parks and rec studio to put this baby on the greenware shelf to adhere its iron oxide decal...

...and remembered to glaze this kurinuki box. The studio hadn't New Light Turquoise in ever a long time, and so Meral had me test this commercial glaze called Riptide.

I forgot to clean up the box and put it on the glaze shelf and will call Meral today to stop by while she's teaching. I think I'll also pick up the 3-taper speckled buff candelabra I started that late Sunday afternoon to adhere the taper holders.

Onward to Clay Life to overglaze these sgraffito plates, #3, #4, #5 respectively.

I also managed to throw 2 bowls and a cup in the beginner throwing class. I rather hope this clay train never ends or at least resume for a very long time.
