There is something so alien but so beautiful about a banana flower. I discovered this beauty right next to my new vegetable patch while on a break from finally getting my vegetable plants (cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant, 3 types of peppers and pumpkin) into their new home (more on that later). Stunning, no?
On the glazing front, things are progressing, albeit slowly. I’m discovering that glazing small things takes just as long as glazing big things and boy do I have A LOT of itty bitty pots! It doesn’t help that I’m trying to be “clever” with my new glazes but oh well, its all good fun, regardless of the outcome. This is a glaze TEST firing after all, right?

I have a recipe for cooking banana flowers – haven’t tried it yet but it is on the list of things to do! Right now I’m figuring out what to do with around 50 carambolas! katrina

I just saw banana flowers in the produce section at the grocery store and wondered what to do with them. They do look too beautiful to eat though.
I’m right behind you on the glazing as soon as I do all the bisque, but it is supposed to be 110 F tomorrow, I think I might wait a day or two.
