Wash , wash, wash my hands!

Funny, I just had a tag similar to this one, but not as involved! It's fun to read all the details though, so I will do it when I return from Europe. I leave for London tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your answers. I will do it this week Lorena. Thank you for tagging me.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think you have a very nice blog and I love all the pictures of your work. You are so careful. Sorry your things broke. You will figure it out, I know. Patrik Kusek told us today at our guild meeting that he fires the Copprclay at 1770° for 3 hours now. Did you do that? I haven't done it yet but I just heard this for the first time today so I thought I would tell you.
Lucky Vickie, going to London!
later,
Catherine
Thank you girls! ;-}
ReplyDeletewow!! Vickie enjoy your trip!!!!
Catherine: Thanks for the tip about copprclay, I was going to write Bill Struve but I will try what Patrik is doing.
I loooove Gaudi! That's the real reason I'm dying to go to Spain. And Botrero goes without saying. We have lots in common. And I'd love the recipe for the rice lasagna. I don't eat wheat and have been missing regular noodles.
ReplyDeleteDear Lora,
ReplyDeleteYES we do have a lot of things in common ;-}. I am also dying to go to Spain and see Gaudi's work.
About the rice lasagna, we do not use rice pasta, we use rice. You add one layer of rice, one of corn, one of calabaza, one of cream cheese blended with poblano peppers, etc, etc.
It is very good!
Love your answers, Lorena and I will try and get mine posted in the next week!
ReplyDeleteNice to know about Patrik's firing schedule, wish I could've made the meeting.
I also love Frida Kahlo...sheis my favorite too. And wash my hands a lot...soooo perfectionist...I know the feeling...
ReplyDeleteThank you for following my blog. I am having a super sale...come and check it out!
