Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: Mom & Dad

Today was a very productive day. We worked all day long in the basement.
It’s very dirty & dusty down there. And it’s an unfinished basement – not very glamorous!
We all had our own jobs. Our own projects. Trying to make room to do one before another.
But, all of my new pots have now been unpacked, priced and organized into the inventory.
That part took a little longer than I expected. I guess there were more pots that I thought!?
Priced. Labeled. Cleaned… and on the shelves! We did throw away some clutter along the
way, but not nearly enough. I still have far too many boxes of things I “need.”
Methinks there will be another “storage room day” in my not so distant future!!!

Luckily, after a full day in the dusty basement, we did get out for a really good dinner!
The three of us went to my favorite restaurant Rose Angeli’s. I think it’s my Mom’s fave too!

So when she suggested it… I was excited to go back! Especially since I knew it was
Pear Ravioli Week!!! One of the best “weekly specials” ever! Plus, we had a really great
appetizer! Some sort of Duck Casserole?!… a baked concoction of duck, spinach, cheese,
sauce & more! Not to mention the all-time best hot caramel sauce ever on my favorite
bread pudding dessert!!! Seriously, the bread pudding is just the “vehicle” to get the
caramel sauce into my mouth faster!!!
