Manatee Monday

It doesn't always have to be Mugs on Monday.  Here are two manatee whistles waiting to be glazed and decorated.

The Stegosaurus started out as a dragon maquette and morphed into this.  I guess I wasn't paying attention!  

 
My favorite pie plate has developed a crack so I had to use a Pyrex plate to make


Banoffee Pie........ IT WAS DELICIOUS!


We woke up to snow this morning.  A few heavy, wet inches fell; nothing like what our local weather mavens have been having so much fun predicting!  Snow in March is not unusual here.

It's mostly melted now.

Enjoy the week ahead and, as always, thanks for stopping by..............*s*

Pie and Taxes

Yes!  I do love being a citizen of the U.S.A. and I don't even really begrudge paying taxes.  But I just wish it could be a little less complicated!

You may have guessed that I have spent most of my time this past week immersed in The-Great-Tax-Hassle!  With the amount of income I have one would think that my taxes would be fairly simple and straightforward.  Such is not the case!   Because I have income from so many sources I simply pay an accountant.  The cost is worth it for my peace of mind.  However, I try to be reasonably organized as I see no reason for paying her to sort receipts etc.

I felt so virtuous after all this that I rewarded us with a Banoffee Pie.  This is my first try and I have to say it is delicious!  But I think it may be one of the seven deadly sins.  Who knew dulce de leche, bananas and whipped cream could be so good?  I'll add an edit when I find the recipe.



The pie plate is a salt glaze piece my sister bought me when she was in Maine many years ago.   I have no idea what pottery it came from, but it's my favorite pie plate.

 Hopefully I will be able to get into the studio for more that thirty minutes at a time this next week.

I wasn't going to do a Mud Colony post this week.  Then I thought that taxes and pie are a part of a potter's life!

I found this recipe for Banoffee Pie At Three Many Cooks.  I omitted the chocolate as I can't eat it.  Next time I may use some sort of brittle as a topping.

It's sunny and warming up.....I hope everyone enjoys the day.

As always, thanks for stopping by..............*s*
