You know what this makes me think of, bill campbell mugs, ornery things like to warp slightly when used with cocoa, and it has habit of trying to be noticed often, very show offish and attention needy.

Yours, Kelly in Ohio... still thinking about PBJ... this morning I
ground grain to make flour to bake bread, then ground my own peanut
butter... spread with real butter on fresh, warm whole wheat bread with
juice-sweetened, hand-picked-currant jelly for my kids' sandwiches, all
organic of course... then I turned on the weather channel and saw an ad
for pre-made, pre-packaged, crustless pbjs in little pouches you can buy

You guys are too funny. Imagine my surprise to see "hendley
mugs" as the most replied-to topic on Clayart today.
Well, I needed a good laugh this evening, and it prompted
(I guess it prompted her) Toni Smith to write and ask to adopt
two mugs!
It has been a crazy few days in East Texas. Basically EVERYONE
in Maydelle who has an acre or two has pieces of the space shuttle
in their yards. And that's just in the yards.
I have 50 acres of woods that must be full of debris. I will probably
be running across small pieces for years to come.
We are on the western end of the debris field, so we mostly have
more lightweight pieces scattered about, like pieces of the aluminum
skin, and heat shield tiles. The pieces around here, I promise, look
exactly like insulating fire brick. Not the yellowish, coarse AP Green
firebrick, but the fine-grained white variety. All of the ones I have seen
are basically square, but some do have an odd, slightly out-of-square
shape.
A little farther southeast from here is where they are finding the big
heavy pieces of the shuttle and making the awful discoveries of
pieces of the astronauts' bodies.
This week, for the first time ever, I am the potter-in-residence at a
local elementary school. In a period of 4 days every kid in the school
will watch me make pots for 45 minutes.
Six classes a day times 4 days equals 24 demonstrations. Whew,
that's a lot of demonstrating. Already, I have heard the same comments
many times. The 3 top things a 7 year-old is reminded of when watching
a potter throwing are: volcanoes (the cone shape when centering),
hurricanes, and tornados (the spiral throwing rings).
Last week they all got to play with clay for 45 minutes. That's the
way to do it, so they really know what clay is like before they watch me.
Taylor, I will send you "care and feeding of mugs" instructions. Sorry
you didn't get any. The most important rule is to talk sweetly to them
every morning. Mel has a sweet Midwestern voice, yah, but you may
need to assign the job to your wife.
Kelly, you need a wood-fired brick oven for baking your bread. This
adds another 4 hours to the operation.
We have been using our oven for about 6 months now. We baked 3
pizzas and 4 loaves of "pane Puglia" yesterday.
The peels (long-handled shovels for inserting and removing the pizzas),
you will be happy to know, are made out of the aluminum highway sign
we used to make extruder dies in Tennessee last summer!

You'all just ain't right. :-)
I was thinking of getting a new pet. Now it appears that I could substitute a
David Hendley mug with all that pampering it needs.
Are they housebroken?

Those mugs sound like they are possessed by the aura of the maker, how much do you wanna bet david hendley doesn't like mugs.

Broken? BROKEN?! A Hendley mug broken?
My god man/woman what are you saying?
Is there no compassion? Why would someone
want to break a Hendley pot with a house?
BTB, the green tea is ummm ummm warm.

As far as making good pets, I can tell you they're very good with
children. My own kids (who have a collection of Hendley Pot All Star
Cards, by the way) are very fond of my Hendley mug... Tyler (visual

Hi Kelly,
I wish I were your kid !
When I allowed mine to squish their oatmeal with their hands, my Mother
squealed and washed the poor babies.
I've been squishing oatmeal, clay, whatever...since I left her house.
I want your kids to come work for me in about 10 years !
Merrie...drinking green tea from a mug that has bumpy, gold, horse feet.

No, they just hate mass-produced microwaves. If you make your own from used
TV sets and power it with a windmill you build yourself, they will feel
right at home, and will then always come out with their friendly little
handles presented to your waiting hands.
But a better method might be to cut your own wood, build a fire and heat
rocks that you then drop into the liquid in the mug. I think this is how
David does it.

The right one for you and your kids; they're better fed, loved, and
valued than many these days.

Yeah, yeah, rub it in. Those of us who are limited to baking bread in
electric/oxidation ovens just have to muddle along the best we can. I
bet primal sourdough would be way better in a bread oven.. sigh.
I just never get over how much bread is like high fired stoneware:
You can wedge in whole grains for a good chunky surface decoration...
When you know your materials, you can add a handful of this and that to
the "body" as you wedge.... (I prefer wheat germ and sunflower seeds to
great lakes iron filings)
"Authentic" bread only comes in tan, brown and dark brown...
You bake it on a kiln shelf/baking stone, on a layer of cornmeal/grog...
Real enthusiasts like the chunky, brown, coarse, primitive looking
loaves with a long history and tradition...
but the general public prefers the spongy, white, uniform, factory made
stuff you can buy for a buck at walmart!
Yours, Kelly in Ohio... hubby home from Long Island where the grass was
not greener and the cost of living out of our reach. I'm trying not to
giggle out loud; I wasn't big on leaving Ohio. It's not perfect, but I'm
near extended family and my soil is rich and fertile. Now if I could
only get the neighbors who called the cops over a couple of laying hens
to accept a big smoking woodfired bread oven... wait til they get a load
of my pvc hoop greenhouse.
