Babs

Absolutely no doubt about that! Going to make dinner right now! And maybe bake a cake for tomorrow..... Cool westher heading here. Great appetite stimulant. Big pot of barley broth on the go tomorrow for sure.

Would still have to dip in wax to seal air out. Think folk these days more likely to thread pot to then screw on a pump attachment for soaps etc

Stop it, my teeth are screaming at me...

Rhubarb as a veg? Rhubarb crumble my favourite. Or rhubarb with curds... Must have a meal with you s. time...dream on Babs

Dont know how to do the @liambesaw. Just did!!!! Anyway love your miso jars and the above. I think it was Min or Pres who do a neat screw on top..... Another thing to master?? Nice positived in these crazy times.

Would you share the crust recipe. I am unfamiliar with sopressa. What is it?

Sauerkraut pots are another interesting pot to make. Was a time when I made terracotta markers for herb and veg. rows . "Houses" to trap snails in. Toadstools and mushrooms to stick into planters to indicate moisture in soil. Thinking garden centres.

Is that a polenta base? Like the plate also. Must look out my polenta..used to make a pizza type thingie with polenta base.

What diameter is your dinner bowl? Trying to avoid making dinner plates here

No unfortunately....greek yoghurt but yummy nevertheless.

NoYummy. My morning tea this a.m. Autumn here. Stunning day. First quinces so. Plate old one Andrea Hicks who, for a time, worked with Malcolm Cooke. Cuppacumblong Pottery.

Wow Mark I bet you smile on cracking your kiln open. Visual feast! Better than eadter chocolate to the potter. Thanks

I found teaching annoying kids the best plan is A . put them very far away from you B. give them none of your focus unless about to endanger selves or others. Given a year or two..ha ha, they just get on with it:-)) Or just ask in a disinterested voice..how's this working for you boys?? And listen carefully.. And remember you love them oh so much! Art lesson in the clay shed?? Daily?

Last 3 weeks been laid flat then low with chest lurgi. No energy. But yesterday I walked perimeter of a couple of paddocks..dogs happy. I do usually practise Iyengar yoga daily and so last night I did a short restorative prac. This is my mental health saving section of my day. A bit of stillness in the turbulent times. Not down the shed yet but soon.. Now what can I eat. Ideas pot book got lots of unattended jottings...

Make more:-)) worthit

Yeh I see painful process. Used to make pots which fitted the round plastic spread containers but when you want to spread a piece of bread , it is just another thing, eh. Then orders for broken lids....changes in container shapes and sizes.. Must be time to eat, getting cranky. But yours are lovely Callie. Home made bread makes the best breadcrumbs. Changes every dish which calls for breadcrumbs.. staling bread? Process and freeze bcrumbs.

Wow. Love your butter dish. Never tried that...is it as fiddly as it seems? Love the wax resist on pot behind.

I have somewhere a potato yeast bread ztarter recipe. Keep in bottle with cork cap .Ready by next morning for the daily bread making. From memory , when cork lifts yhe syarter is ready. Used it for years back in the 70s.

Oh I wonder what the rich are doing tonight. Flat bread Quantity of yeasted bread dough..I use german grain, multigrain mix for flours. I add a tablespoon molasses and bit of olive oil as well After First rise, punch down and tear/ cut into lumps. Roll out to circular shape on top of a heavily seeded flour area. I roll out onto poppy, sunflower, carraway, pumpkin, sesame. By time I've rolled out the last one..lay separately on v lightly floured area..the first ones are ready to bake. I have woodstove so I place the bread directly onto hot plate and flip after a couple of minutes.place onto clean t towel and cover...keep doing this till all breads been baked. Folk use pizza stones on barbies or heavy frypans. I freeze in lots of 6. Can be used for quick pizza bases. Heat slightly, drizzle a bit of olive oil and use for salad, or quick lunches. Can be heated till brittle and used as crunchie dips.. Can roll or stretch as placed on heat to make nice and thin. Upside down apple cake in Babs bowl

made hot croos buns and big pot of bean soup...winter coming here, and tjis a.m. inspired by Min, hummous. So lunch will be hummous, home made flat bread, and greens from my garden. Pots mine

Think there is a bit of space top rhs :-)))) Impressive!!! Keep safe everyone

You guys are living in Paradise. I live on an Island so.. 1/2 hour drive to ferry dodging Kangaroos possums and wallabies. 21/2 hr drive to city add dodging trucks to the above Another 1/2 hr to supplier who is shifting to premade ceramics and glazes as folk go that way...cheap imports la de dah. Have to order from eastern states so I place my order well in advance of leaving home. Freighted it costs a heap. Travelling there...1 day a push and ferry trip stupidly expensive...monopoly at play... Not complaining. A privelege to live where I live.

Or skipping life because they are on their phones! Remote living makes one look at things and stuff lying around with different eyes
