clay: winter wonderland popup

I carried a crockpot of black bean soup to our community's ceramics show and sale after Patrick picked a bunch of greenery on Meral's request for display of her pottery. There was enough soup leftover to fill a spaghetti jar, which I gave to Meral along with cheese, sour cream, pickled jalapenos and radish pico. And then I expended my social battery for the sale. I love Meral's face vases...

 

I ought to make one for my colleague, Michaela because she likes to construct huge arrangements of greenery in large vases.

And Patrick's plucked greenery enhanced this simple vase below. But I was exhausted by the end of the 3 and 1/2 hours and told Meral that I was going....at which she closed the show and everybody started packing up. Once home...

...I ate a Neapolitan mushroom and arugula pizza that Cecilia had made for Patrick--he ate one slice while I ate the other three slices. I had given Cecilia 00 flour and what a difference that dopio zero or finely milled flour made in her crust. And per the pharmacist's suggestion to build up the gut bacteria while on my antibiotic regime, I ate yogurt, which I normally detest. But oh my goodness, blueberries and raspberries in French vanilla yogurt has become my favorite dessert. That yogurt was so delicious that I'm going to buy even more French yogurt served in cute little terra cotta or glass pots.
