What did I open on tattoo Tuesday?
December 2, 2014
This is the glow from my kiln when it is being fired . . .
The opening: the view inside after it has cooled (a little) . . .
Moustache mugs bisque fired and waiting to be glazed . . .
The finished product . . .

What am I sappy goldfish blogging?

Not real goldfish, of course, but little goldfish teabags swimming in your cup. If you can get around thinking about what fish do in the water . . . .
These little darlings are from Charm Villa.
Thanks to Katie for the tip.

Rummy Bears from Serious Eats ( Mark Falkowitz)
This is brilliant! Why did I not think of this? Think about jello shots . . . how much more fun with booze-infused gummy candies.
Here is the How To by Erin Zimmer:
Pour enough liquid over the gummies to completely immerse and cover them, with a little liquid peeking out on top. How long should they infuse? Many sources suggest three to four days in the fridge. We left them sitting out on the countertop and after a few hours, their little bear bellies swelled up and they already tasted pretty boozy. Between five to eight hours was the sweet spot for us to achieve the best squish. The bears will lose their firm chew and take on a texture of jiggly Jell-O. They should still be pleasantly squishy, not liquefied. Over-infuse them and they’ll just become a gelatinous mess of bear ooze.
I am on my way off to the candy store. Here are a few other delicacies to consider:
Gummy Coke Bottles in Jack Daniels
Tequila Worms – forget the worm in the bottle and add your own gummy worms!
And Little Green Apple Frogs in Vodka
Hа здоровье!
What am I celebrating on tattoo Tuesday?
October 21, 2014
I am celebrating the launching of the USS Constitution on October 21, 1979. The ship was built in Edmund Hartt’s shipyard in Boston for a cost of $302,718.
On October 17, the ship was underway for her last trip around Boston Harbor until 2108. U.S.S. Constitution will be open for limited viewing until entering dry dock in March, 2015 for a three-year long restoration project that is estimated to cost between $12 and $15 million.
During the restoration, workers are expected to re-copper the ship’s hull, replace worn riggings, change out old planks on the gun and berth decks and make general repairs to the stern, bow and captain’s cabin. The ship is expected to be back in the water by 2017. By spring or summer 2018 it should return to its familiar spot on Pier 1 at the Navy Yard. Ref. Fox News.
U.S.S. Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned naval ship afloat.
Constitution ’s stated mission today is to promote understanding of the Navy’s role in war and peace through educational outreach, historic demonstration, and active participation in public events. As a fully commissioned US Navy ship, her crew of 60 officers and sailors participate in ceremonies, educational programs, and special events while keeping the ship open to visitors year round and providing free tours. The officers and crew are all active-duty US Navy personnel and the assignment is considered special duty in the Navy. Traditionally, command of the vessel is assigned to a Navy Commander. Constitution is berthed at Pier 1 of the former Charlestown Navy Yard, at one end of Boston’s Freedom Trail. Ref. Wikipedia
And some tattoos:
Kudos for the full Boston –
