MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: AUGUST 19–25, 2019!
A week that revolved around food, photography gigs, and seeing friends around the dinner table. And, I finally bring home a pottery set I’m proud of!
Enjoy!
Some new babies in pottery tonight: I’m thinking one will become a planter, and another is an alternate vase shape to the ones I’m making for Kiki.
Always fun when I get to take home a box of pieces.
Got a postcard from Europe, from Lena and Delphine
Got better photos in the morning of my mugs! I’m very proud of these, they actually feel like a set.

Always leave feeling happy after seeing my SP gorls.
Still so into my mugs, such a rare feeling
Dots and corduroy
Pimple is poppin’
Enjoying a dusk drive across town to meet up for Anders’ birthday dinner at Freedman’s
Incredible fish bottle
Pickles, matzo ball soup, table side cut brisket, bone marrow, ugh DELICIOUS.

Zach finished assembling all his comic boxes
We are lucky to have cousin Peanut here with us for the next few days.
Sufi is thrilled
Shooting more for Far Bar
And then shooting over at Sake Dojo
Coffee whiskey to end the night
Finally time to address the tupperware
Had a tupperware tragedy
Zach’s hummingbird hobby continues
Peanut trying to assist in tupperware organization
Never really fully organized the pantry after we moved, so this is the fun weekend activity for today.
Small improvement
The snack cupboard is really where it has gotten out of hand.
Probably looks the same, but it has 70% less things.
A clean kitchen
Dressed and ready for Mandy’s event
Mandy organized an event for a young chef to build a menu around, and for her to sell some of her Mandy Ink merch and prints.
Beautiful dish after beautiful dish. Little bites, all themed around seafood.
Congrats, Mandy!
Lovely summer eve
Shot some pieces for the lovely Amanda
And then afterwards started some of the processing.
Zeen’s little brother came to town

A question that you may or may not feel inclined to answer? So! Let’s do it. I invite you to answer in the comments:
What’s the wildest thing you’ve had an a maki roll? The Louisiana style fried chicken this week was pretty fun (and spicy).

Much love friends!

Finally had time to catch up with your posts – I kinda miss the good old livejournal days where I had the time to check in regulary. But it’s really fun seing your friends from high school, cause I remember them too 🙂
Wildest maki roll is one with strawberry in it. Never really thought about it, only knew those with fish or cucumber – but it was surprisingly tasty. I wish we had more crazy ones around here… (Or any of that awesome food you post for that matter ;))
Reading through those posts, I had these questions pop up in my head:
– Did giving up dairy help you (yet)?
– What do you do with all the puzzles you make? I love puzzles, but I wouldn’t even have the storage. Do you borrow them and give them back afterwards? Or have some secret puzzle stash?
– Same goes for your pottery. I’m really impressed by how good your pieces look and also a bit jealous cause I would love to try that as well. But yet again – I wouldn’t have any storage. Don’t you have hundreds of pieces already? What’s your storage secret?
– Or: Is your house that big? With the outdoor cinema (which is super cool btw) it seems like it is huuuuge…
Sorry for the many questions, I think I read 12 posts today 😉

I applaud you on the symmetry of those mugs! They’re amazing! I found a small arts center here that does a Friday night ceramics class (4 weeks in a row) that I am going to sign up for once I have a little more free time.
My favorite maki roll is from a place called Dragon King’s Daughter in Louisville, KY. It’s a Japanese/Mexican fusion type of place. The roll that I love is called “the Italian Picnic” and has asparagus tempura, proscuitto, basil, Japanese mayo, and pine nuts. A little different, but AMAZING.
I’ve been following along with you for years now and am always excited to see a new post. I love your photography and the way it reminds me of the LJ days. What does Zach do for a living? I know that he was producing those live shows/podcast comedy shows, but realized that I don’t know what he does now! Seems strange to ask.
Hope you’re having an incredible time in Japan!

Ahhh your mugs are gorgeous! As far as the wildest thing I’ve had in a maki roll, probably escolar and jalapeños! Not that wild, honestly.
