Breakfast made special with handmade pottery.
Still the most important meal of the day… even for my cousin David on Ohio!

Look at the yummy summer broccoli cheese frittata made by my friend Sarah Chapman… looks pretty tasty. .. and that “fancy” green plate makes it look even TASTIER!!!

Extra special to be in the fine company of my friend & fellow-potter Delores Fortuna who made the beautiful platter at the top of the photo.

Sadly, in class last night we had no OREOs. Mwah, mwah, mwah... But my assistant Erin decided to make some clay OREOs using a stamp she made last week during our stamp-making demo!!! Sweet… but not quite as tasty!!!

Not so surprisingly… my Summer Camp kids “once again” came up with the brilliant idea to have a Chocolate Chip Cookie Bake-Off on Wednesday. Kind of amazing to me how they continue to come up with this idea “all on their own” year after year??? Go figure. And every wonderful idea needs a great prize, right? So I built this terra cotta “BEST COOKIE” plate for the winner!!!

Today is July 11th… 7-11… which means one thing…
FREE SLURPEES!!!
Stop by any 7-11 Store today between 11:00am-7:00pm and get a FREE Slurpee!!!

Looks like it’s raspberry season!!!
And my cousin Kim has been growing them in her yard again this year. Making her morning cereal taste even better… and a “fancy bowl” to make them LOOK even better too!

Last night we started the new Summer Session of my Beginning & Advanced Beginner Wheelthrowing class. We also started with the NEW Oreo flavors! Key Lime Pie and Blueberry Pie. And you know how I love pie!!!

Not only did we have plenty of food & ice cream at tonight’s potluck… but then Katie brought in possibly THE BEST DESSERT EVER!!! Like we didn’t have enough sugar already?! So check these out… seven of my favorite words all strung together into one huge layered & yummy morsel…

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE PEANUT BUTTER S’MORES BARS.

Let me quickly explain the layers… Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Hershey Bars. Peanut Butter. Marshmallow Fluff. Crumbled Graham Crackers. More Cookie Dough… and bake. What’s not to like?!!! AMAZING!!! Thanks again Katie for inducing our collective sugar comas!!!

Tonight was the last night of our Spring session of pottery classes. My class celebrated with a fun Mug Exchange, tons of food and an ice cream social complete with my homemade hot fudge sauce! They all used their newly traded mugs for their sundaes… and we also got a “sweet” visit from Susan in the Metals Department.

Spring is the perfect time for s new berry bowl. We’ve got a few sweet ones left here at the Schaumburg Prairie Arts Festival. It’s a beautiful day for pottery… and a stroll in the park
