All Fired Up

Things were sure heating up at our place tonight. Henri has just taken the lid off our raku kiln to reveal this glowing pot that has reached 1900 degrees F.

Here you can see the tongs he is using to transport this pot over to the waiting garbage can filled with newspaper.

As soon as the pot hits the paper, it bursts into flame.

Tonight we got some aqua color along with the copper flashes.

Even though we used the same glaze, each pot has different results.

Here's the inside of one that got a sprinkling of sea glass at the bottom.

While Henri was busy with the fire tonight, I made myself busy in the kitchen.

Except my blueberry muffins only had to reach 350 degrees F. before they were done.

So Fresh, So Wild, So Frozen, So Blue

The absolute best frozen blueberries EVER. Anything else is just blue mush.

A good basic recipe to follow.

This is my favorite part.

I like this part too.

Saving some for later.

A good way to warm up on a chilly July day in Maine.
