Food and pottery

 

Much gratitude for the free food from Bounty and Soul each week when a truck comes right to the parking lot at the apartment complex. Most of it is past it's prime, but perfectly good still, and organic a lot of the time. 

I tried making whole wheat sunflower seed bread in the machine the other day. It's kind of strange smelling, more like beer than bread. But I like the seeds, so may try a white bread recipe and just add them in next time. 

While I'm celebrating food, this was a few weeks ago at the Veranda Restaurant with a  cup of "Charleston She Crab" soup and a half a roast beef sandwich. They make fabulous soups. As you can see, I wouldn't stop to take a photo till I'd eaten half of it.

The toaster oven cooked a pound of salmon in a foil pillow, then I added a sauce and panko on top for the final browning...and had 5 dinners from it.

And just to go back in time a bit, to a picnic lunch...French style.

And related to food, how about making some beautiful pottery?

I learned how Maria Martinez of San Ildefonso mesa made the "black on black" pottery which was pit-fired. I was studying ceramics for my BFA at the University of Florida in 1983. I made one pot in that style, rubbing the shiny part of the clay with a stone and a spoon.  I made certain when I visited Santa Fe NM in 2019 that I got to see some of her work at at museum store.

OK, I did tend to go off on a tangent...

Sharing with Sepia Saturday -

But I can't find a thing that looks like the prompt that Alan came up with this week. One guy helping by holding tools, while the other works on a motorcycle. Not in my folders, nope, nothing close!
