RED stuff
Why YES, yes, I did make a fire truck pot... sure, I sculpt a bit, but I am usually connected to pottery...the wheels, cab, front, etc were all made on the pottery wheel and assembled...I knew I had a good red glaze for it.
I have told you that when I saw PINNOCHIO when I was 5 I wanted to make toys, like his maker Gepetto! And gosh, sometimes I do make toys (although this fire truck, retaining its potness, um, could hold something useful). The fire truck is special though: I had a great bulldozer when I was little but always wanted a firetruck...
Speaking of red stuff, check out this ketchup fried rice! You didn't know it is a Korean-American comfort food did you? (click here) I will admit, I use the red stuff I like, such as chili sauce, hot sauce and Chinese garlic-chili sauce rather than ketchup...oh GOSH, yum!
Have a great Thursday!
Love it! What a great toy with a place to hide stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat is the fire truck of which dreams are made! What a dreamer!
ReplyDeleteI heard the interview on NPR about the ketchup fried rice chef.
ReplyDeleteand that fire truck is REALLY cool.
Such a cute truck!
ReplyDeleteRoy Choi is straight up bad.... but real good cook
ReplyDeleteLove the firetruck but the dalmation steals the show. I actually saw a dalmation today when I went to the shops.
ReplyDeleteMy family loves ketchup on macaroni with a little bit of butter. When I met my Italian husband, his family thought that was what I thought spaghetti was....I was like...duh....this is just what we eat for lunch. So good.
