Jeanie: Thanx. Don't look to me to give e-ware legitimacy. I'll just bring
y'all down to my level. Much of the good work I am seeing these days is
e-ware. Many of us are heading into the sunset years and having the kiln
programmed to fire while we're sleeping sounds like good sense to me.
I now have more recipes for e-ware than I ever had for high fire. Time to
cull them down to one or two.
all the best,
Tc
