Ready Glaze Fire

Today my boyfriend and I went to this pottery painting place in Cheshire, Connecticut, one we've never been to before, called Ready Glaze Fire.  It was extremely beautiful, an elegant little place in a lovely small town, but we both agree that the Pottery Piazza in Planville, Connecticut is better.
We're not trying to be mean, but this place was a little awkward.  It's extremely quiet in there and every time you do talk, it echos and everyone can hear your conversation.  
Also there weren't many options to chose from to paint.  I'm not sure if it was the time we went, four weeks before Christmas, but the racks for choosing were pretty bare.  I overheard a lot of people asking for things and all the lady said was they're getting it in.  She said this about literally everything.  They didn't even have white paint there.  So when I asked for it she just responded with, "We're getting it in."  
Another thing we didn't like was you're not allowed to get your own paint.  At the Pottery Piazza you pay for studio time and that includes everything available.  It's very independent there.  You get as much paint and as many colors as you want because it's covered in the studio time.  At Ready Glaze Fire someone gets your paint for you, and you're not allowed refills.  It's just an uncomfortable environment, especially compared to the Pottery Piazza.
I wish I took more pictures to show off, especially of the store, but it was really unconformable so I didn't. 
 This is my cupcake stand I painted.  I'm pretty happy with how it came out.  I did this in under forty minutes.  haha My boyfriend and I had a good time, really we did, but needless to say we would rather go to the Pottery Piazza instead of Ready Glaze Fire.

Breaking Bad: Homemade Rock Candy Recipe

Homemade Rock Candy, you will need: 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup light corn syrup 2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons flavoring extract blue gel food coloring candy thermometer Instructions: Line sheet pan with foil, and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray/spray butter. In a saucepan combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium-high heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves.  Bring the mixture to a boil, then stop stirring.  Insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads 285°F on the thermometer. Do not overcook it, or it will start to take on a caramel color. Once at 285°F, take the pan off the heat and let it sit for a few moments, until bubbles stop breaking on the surface. Add the flavoring, I used raspberry extract and food coloring, I used Neon blue by McCormick, and stir everything together. Pour the candy onto the prepared baking sheet; tilt the sheet pan back and fo...

Raspberry, Brie, and Mango Habanero Pizza

Today I made one of my yummiest masterpieces yet; a raspberry, brie cheese, and mango habanero pizza!   I was kind of lazy, just decided to use a store bought pizza dough instead of making my own, but once I laid out the dough and created a good crust, using my brand new pizza pan from the pampered chef, I laid out some of Sidehill Farms' special mango habanero jam.  This is what the jam looks like. I first bought it at my local grocery store, but then decided to place an order with the Vermont store itself on their webpage. The jam is spectacular! The flavor is excellent and its unlike anything I've ever tried before. After spreading the jam to the uncooked pizza dough I added some brie cheese, fresh raspberries, candied walnuts, and some Rosemary. Next I cooked it in the oven at 425 degrees for ten minutes and then broiled it for one minute before it was cooked to perfection.  The mango habanero jam is quite spicy, but the brie cheese, raspberries,...
