Teapot Tuesday and twisted pizzas!
(new teapot by Gary Rith---whoa, where'd that texture come from? Killer with that emerald glaze, hmmmm?)
So much to tell you about. Yesterday I could SWEAR I got nothing done.... I had SUCH a busy weekend, and although I usually sleep great, I was up late Sunday night reading a Benjamin Black mystery and I was WHIPPED Monday morning....which is probably what people with JOBS feel like on Monday, right? WORTHLESS. But, I got a new cat gig which will surely make a good blog post next week, and took apart my kiln. It needs adjusting and new parts. I mean, skydiving, cliff diving and kiln repair are those things that sort of make you feel like ........ yeah. Like that.
Anyway, so I sleep great last night BUT, as you hear me say so often, I travel to somebody else's life or something. My dreams are so utterly vivid and real, and I learn things that I know nothing about sometimes. Last night it was day one of driving a vintage bus for the city. A bus from maybe the 1940s, it has curtains on the windows and there was a change counter and all that. I had to learn shifting and driving on the job...and I had forgotten to bring the route map.... luckily the passengers were able to tell me where to go :)
OK, finally, I was really in the mood to try this unusual pizza crust recipe. You boil rice per usual then form it into a pizza crust, top it, bake it.... really DELICIOUS. Wow. It becomes quite rich, with plenty of cheese (mine is dairy-free cheese) and veggies, mmmmm :) Have a great Tuesday!
Very beautiful teapot...love the shape, neat surface designs!
ReplyDeleteLove the teapot...cool texture. How do you do that?
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be always on the go...ala the energizer bunny.
ReplyDeleteYou have the most interesting dreams!
ReplyDeleteThat teapot is beautiful! I might have to try that crust too. I'm stuck on the cauliflower one for now...so light and tasty!
ReplyDeleteI FINALLY had a really vivid and interesting Gary Rithesque dream last night! I could barely wait to get to my computer to tell you. I was getting a manicure from a former (IRL) therapist. He wasn't feeling well and only completed one hand. As I went to leave, my purse was GONE. My phone, wallet, keys, EVERYTHING. Gone.
ReplyDeleteI totally need to go back into therapy so someone can explain it to me.
Great teapot, love the texture.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same on Monday, I even had to succumb to a nap. Oh, the life of a potter.
LOVE the teapot! I usually loathe Mondays….no matter how much sleep I get. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a rice crust recipe, I think it's exactly the same. I got mine from a Weight Watchers cookbook about 20 years ago.
