Handmade Ceramic Sake Set

I just wrapped up this sake set for local delivery. The buyer said she’s planning to give it to the guy “who has everything”.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It looks so pretty to me, I wanted to share it with you.

How to Soothe a Burn

Do you want to know how to soothe a burn?
Blisters. Ouch.


















First, one ground rule: never wipe the crumbs off of a burner with your hand. Never mind that you didn’t realize it was just used a moment ago to boil water for somebody else’s tea. What were crumbs doing there anyway?

But you’re in a rush, so I’ll get to the remedy straight away.

Make a paste of baking soda and water. It should be pasty, not liquidy.

Put a thick dollop all over the burn and keep it there for a few minutes. It will work rapidly to cool the pain. Each time you feel the pain returning, reapply the paste.

Rinse and repeat until the pain subsides.

Doubloons!
