Annemarie – they’re cute, aren’t they?

Ronine – ah ha ha! Thanks, Kaweah is a sweet girl… little sedan… Yes, I got the recipes from him and will post them soon (next couple of weeks, I hope).

Mrs. E – seeing as I haven’t found a good studio to work at yet, I probably won’t be giving away any pottery any time soon. Plus, shipping that stuff is a PAIN. :(

Joanne – I love getting ideas from other kitchens too. And I trust food bloggers because you know they cook all the time :)

Culinarywannabe – Not many of my local friends cook like this :)

Caitlin – Pottery is great fun and I found it incredibly relaxing and rewarding (much like cooking) except it was difficult to get to a studio that had restrictive hours. Maybe I’ll find a good studio or better yet, purchase my own wheel someday (if I can locate a local kiln).

Fiona – I really miss it :( I should make the time to get back to it, but I have too many things going on right now. I guess that isn’t such a bad thing? I may ask B to guest blog that shrimp as it is his own recipe!

Amy – yup, some of those plates and bowls were thrown right at Cornell ;) I find it amazing how some “simple” designs like bowl or cups can be either really cheap or REALLY expensive, you know?

Jenny – thanks! And it’s taken us a long time to find foodies friends who cook and bake too. I think perhaps we’re too far apart!

Kristin – thank you :) *blush* I never really allowed myself to indulge in the creative side until I got to college. I was always a math and science kid (plus piano lessons as all Good Chinese Daughters take either piano or violin or both). But I think the creative aspects are really rewarding and I’m trying to explore more of that!

Graeme – you are so cute.

April – Yeah, it’s a handy tip! When I finally thought of it I wondered why I hadn’t thought of it earlier ;)

Tartelette – Bailey is a hoot! If you are in it, hon, then your kitchen is already beyond cool!

Siri – I just got the recipe from B and will post it in the next few weeks.

Charlane – it was soooo good :)

Kathy – you’re so sweet to say. Thanks!

Melissa – damn dust… no shortage here! I was totally feeling the same way until we got to know these guys (who are totally awesome). I guess foodies just don’t advertise (or perhaps they just hang out in their kitchens!)

Liz – it will go up in a few weeks.

Margie – love the pups :)

Barbara – yup, I will post soon, sweetie :) Glad so many are interested. It was awesome. Re: hanging racks – we would still accumulate way too much dust (and probably dog hair) :)

Mollie – well, it’s just waiting here for ya!

Asianmommy – thank you :)

Whitney – thanks! I love handmade pottery too and there a lot of very talented people on Etsy. Might I recommend: http://www.wooditis.com/ – Jamie is a sweetheart and sooooo talented.

Kitt – go here: http://www.wooditis.com/ she is amazing!

Pomme – my talents? ha ha, they ended somewhere back there… ;)

SallyBR – awesome. I love that bin, mostly because it rolls out so easily! Thanks.

Randi – oh, I haven’t thrown in years, but I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a good studio to join. It’s just a real pain if the studio is down in Boulder b/c pottery dries out so fast around here. Maybe I should build my own studio, but then I’d have to find a local kiln in town. Just too much going on ;) But thanks, you are so sweet.

Peabody – they are *super* smart. A little too smart for someone like me, I think ;) ha ha ha.

Joanne – I just got it! I’ll be making some soon for blogging.

Heartkorean – ;)

Cindy – it’s a lot of fun. It takes a little bit to master, and I’m still pretty amateurish, but it is really a lovely art and soooo relaxing. You meet a ton of amazing people (artists, they are amazing – I am too much of an engineer to let myself really go like they do).

Ruthie – Yes, they are pretty obsessive in general ;) My dog just obsesses about food.

Elizabeth – oh, I got the first one at the Container Store in Pasadena (before we moved to Colorado). Then I picked up the second one recently at the local hardware store in Boulder. You might try Target or some such place if you don’t have a Container Store nearby.

and, i love your pottery…that is something i have always wanted to try doing.
