hibi- wear

I took a ceramics class at college. It was the third semester for me.
I practiced on the wheel so hard! It's called throwing. I learned a lot from my teacher. Finally I made useful hibi-wears!
I really liked this brown cray and green glaze.

Throwing is really fun and It's kind of meditation. I really want to come back to ceramics class sometime soon. I think... I need meditation sometimes :)

Lemon Sage Linguine part 1

I bought fresh lemon sage linguine and garlic basil pesto at Kensington farmer's market. I smelled the linguine and It was fresh and lemony.

I boiled the linguine really carefully because I needed perfect al dente!! The pesto tasted sooooo good. I think I will buy more. I also sauted Mahi Mahi. Fresh squeezed lemon gave a nice kick!

Using a strainer, remove spinach from the pot and shock it in cold water. When the spinach is completely cool, roll the spinach into a log so that the stems and the leaves are on opposite sides.
