It was a beautiful evening hanging outside, chatting & eating pizza… and not any ordinary pizza… but Max’d Out Mac & Cheese Pizza from Moretti’s! Picture a thin crust cheese pizza covered with mac & cheese, and then add bacon, jalapenos & barbeque sauce! Yum!!!

We started a new session of my beginning wheelthrowing class tonight! New session, new students… new flavor… same “yellow towel situation”!!!

Looks like my cousin Kim is enjoying her bountiful harvest of homegrown strawberries this morning! They look scrumptious on those pancakes… and those pottery side pieces look pretty yummy too!

Looks like a colorful & tasty Texture Tuesday!

Looks like a yummy lunch for Allison…
complete with a stamped mug on another MUGSHOT MONDAY!

Looks like Sarah has been tossing a yummy salad in her stamped bowl. Beautiful & healthy all at the same time!

Looks like Martin… my pottery student & favorite reality show baker… has been busy in his kitchen again! This time with HOMEMADE strawberry OREOs on top of my handmade cake plate!!! Now he’s just showing off…

In case you’ve forgotten… Martin was one of the competitors on THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW. Same as The Great British Bake-Off but with contestants from The States… same tent, same judges, etc. And you can still stream all six episodes for FREE on The Roku Channel… no box needed. Just go the www.therokuchannel.com to see how our Martin fares in the kitchen!!!

Looks like my cousin Kimberley has had a bumper crop of fresh strawberries from her garden this year! They look amazing in her homemade strawberry shortcake… and her pottery collection. Including a berry bowl collaboration I did with Cory McCrory a couple years ago for ART IN THE GARDEN. Can’t wait to see what kind of a collaboration Cory & I pull together this year!

After today’s art fair in Hinsdale, I had a nice dinner with my booth neighbor Rhonda. She contacted me on Friday and suggested we do dinner after the show… and went on to suggest we go to Jade Dragon for Chinese food. She knew that for years I would go there with my Mom & Dad after the show on Saturdays. She thought it would be a nice way to honor my Mom… and I got warm fuzzies! And then tonight we ordered all of the same foods that my Mom would have ordered. Such a nice evening with my very thoughtful friend Rhonda!

Looks like Julie is enjoying her new green stamped platter & staying healthy too! Sure, mine would have a cheesecake or something on it… but these look good too! HA!!! Thanks for sharing Julie!
