too cute to melt...



Nice mid morning visit with new friends Neil and Elizabeth.  They are from the Austin area - visiting Big Bend for their first wedding anniversary.  They win the prize of "most photogenic couple".  Cranked up the micro mini all day and pumped out 11 ingots.  Just got a second mold and a third one is on the way.  Need some extras to keep production going because of the cool down time on the molds...they come out of the furnace at 1800°+.  Here is one pound of sterling.  One of my cheap Ebay items was a salt server.  A much more sophisticated way to season your food rather than using a salt shaker.  I melted the little bowl but just as I was about to melt down the spoon, I caught a glimpse of my Mexico Midget tomatoes and the spoon was spared.  92,108,59,0,B,.36

What happened to me was I said the same thing you did "it is to darn cute" and several months went buy, well had it every where in the house and dusting was, lets just say harder to do.
Now that was when silver was $7.00

I think we have those little tomatoes growing along our back fence line. Don't know if the previous occupant planted them or if the birds did. :) They are itty bitty but they are bright red and taste just like delicious vine-ripened tomatoes. We love them. :)

Haven't used a salt or pepper shaker at home in years. Two small bowls in the kitchen. A little pinch'll do ya.
