Last night in class we had to get a little “creative”…
as the “yellow towel” was upstairs in my studio!!!

Best thing for fresh rhubarb?… a homemade RHUBARB PIE!!! I spent a little too much time at the studio this afternoon… so I didn’t have time for a fancy pie crust tonight. So this is just a “functional” homemade rhubarb pie… hoping that the handmade pie dish & pie plates makes up for the “plain” old pie?!

Fresh from the garden… not mine of course, but of wonderful friends who love to grow things! And share things… like this beautiful bowl of colors & textures! Oh, how I love rhubarb season!!!

A yummy breakfast looks even yummier on handmade pottery! Looks like Rosene’s day is off to a great start… crispy, creamy & cheesy. What’s not to like?!

Did I mention ROAD TRIP???…
Did I mention diversions?… and snacks?… like this yummy cherry pie I picked up along the way. A quick stop at the NORSKE NOOK in Osseo to break-up the drive, stretch the legs, buy some gas… and a PIE!!!

After a FULL day of Pottery Touring… yes, we made it to ALL of the stops… Sarah, Jules & I went out for a great dinner at MASU… I’m not good with directions, but it was “somewhere” in the Minneapolis area?! Great food, great friends and a great day full of pottery!!!

Looks like Jody has been baking for her family & celebrating Easter with a special carrot cake… even if it might have fallen to pieces coming out of the pan?! Ha!!!

Still looks great on a nice platter with frosting drizzled everywhere!!!
I mean, I would still eat it.

Huge thanks to my friend & former teaching assistant Cynthia for sharing her homemade marshmallows with me & my class… a nice ziplock bag full! And since I have the palate of a four-year old… of course I LOVE marshmallows… and it’s hard to top Cynthia’s homemade gooey-puffy-sugary treats!

Looks like my friend Jen just enjoyed a yummy lunch.. and decided to share her remains with us! Even food scraps look better in handmade pottery bowls!

And a little “after-theater” yummy… a quick stop off at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream for a little sweet treat. A trio of flavors… Blackout Chocolate, Goat Cheese & Cherry and their newest special flavor… THE EVERYTHING BAGEL. A savory ice cream that tastes just like an Everything Bagel… cream cheese with a bit of garlic & onion! Yummy… glad I tried it… not sure I would need to do it again…
