Biscotti is to pottery as dough is to clay. Both are twice baked.
Inspiration has come from the provision of the land; sustenance from creation. Origins of clay and glaze: the earth. May our labors of love bless our Lord Jesus and others.
This is a butter bell. Put softened butter into the smaller cup and cold water in the larger cup. This supposedly keeps the butter from going rancid and can be kept on the table. The water seals out oxygen and thus keeps the butter at room temp and softened. We shall see.
Biscotti refers to a twice-baked Italian cookie. While Michael is busy baking pottery twice in the kilns, Melinda is busy baking cookies twice in the kitchen oven (when she's not in the studio glazing).
