Not Dropping It

Click on the photo below to watch a video of when the “drop it” command didn't work.

Cy's Breakfast

 Naty's Kitchen in Maunakea Market.  Pig's Feet with Rice ($10), Rice Soup ($6), Iced Coffee ($6.50).

   

Ceramics Class

I must say that the people in this class sure produce a lot of pieces.  The instructor said that she might need to do two bisque firings instead of just one to accommodate all of the pieces.

Here are my planters.  I did the one on the right in the last few minutes of the class with my leftover clay.  It was the most fun to do of the three. 😆

 

Green circle is Cleta's and red is Erick's.  Geri had a scratchy throat so didn't attend. 

   

   

   

Below is a short video of a flip through of my notebook.  It helps to keep my mind in order.

  

Roselani Ice Cream

I've been enjoying this Roselani Pa'uwela Sunrise Ice cream.  It's an orange dreamsicle flavored ice cream with pineapple chunks in it.  It's super ono.

 

It's also super expensive.  But I can’t take my money with me, right?

  

Hawaiian Chili Pepper Plants Update

I transplanted some of the seedlings into bigger pots.  Luckily, I had kept the wonderful cinder/soil mixture from the plants that my friend Ryan gave to me.  

I had to move the pots away from our other plants because they were getting white flies from them.  ☹️

I already gave Geri two of the plants.  I wanted to give her more because their survival rate is much greater with her than with me, but she said two was enough. 

Cleta's Zucchini Fries

Per Cleta:  Cut, salt and leave on paper towel to absorb water.  Roll in flour, dip in beaten egg, pat well in panko.  Hot oil is key for crisp outside, kinda firm inside.

Ceramics Class

Our second ceramics class was yesterday.   I made another paint palette on the lower right, this time with bigger wells than the one I made at the last session.  Erick made the dinosaur, Cleta's incense holder is below Erick's and Geri's vases/bowls are to the right of Cleta's. 

 

Geri's plate is on the left and my cat/owl planter is on the right.  I'm starting to feel more productive and less frustrated than before.  I think me and Clay can be friends. 

 

Chicken Adobo with Potatoes

Landon said that he was craving chicken adobo so I made some the other night.  

I followed my mom's recipe here.  I didn't use salt-free shoyu and I added in a potato at the end.

Cy's Breakfast

Lam's.  $14.65.  I love chow fun and this one looks good!

Ceramics Class

Ceramics class started again.  I made the two cigar ashtrays in the middle, Erick made a bonsai plant bowl to the left of them, Cleta made cute cat wind chimes above and Geri made the hibiscus plate on the upper right corner.  

Maybe I'm more used to the easily ruinable nature of working with clay now.  I’m not as annoyed at it as in the last session. Yet.
