Oh, you have a bundaberg in your fridge! Don't like their ginger beer much (doesn't taste gingery enough) but their root beer is amazing!

I thought the ginger beer was pretty good. What brand do you like? My favourite Aussie ginger beer is Cascade from Tasmania. I buy whichever is on sale.

On the other hand Bundaberg rum is godawful. Actually, I have only tried the yellow label stuff. I would only try the others if I could get a tiny nip-bottle.

Thank you so much for sharing your week with us, and your refrigerator, of course! That final refrigerator shot, with the cat peering in, is beyond adorable!
Your pottery collection is varied and wonderful, too. I hope that you'll share your collection with us again- perhaps we need a pottery thread, if there isn't one as yet?
Again, thank you!

Enjoyed everything in your week of sharing!

I love the "parting shots" of the tea pots - another of my weaknesses. Did you make some of them?

I made the bottom three, quite a while ago. I do need to get back to pottery, if only because we keep breaking plates. The round tea pot is my most used pot. The other two work but aren't super practical.

I thought there was a tea pot photo thread in the coffee and tea forum, but I couldn't find it. There are threads on Yixing pots (like the top one). I really don't know a lot about brewing tea or matching teas to pots.

Great food, great part of our world. Thanks for blogging and also for not cooking that stick insect. Can you say something about that last teapot -- with the unorthodox spout?

It's been great fun. The last pot is part of a small series I did of tea pots inspired by bowls. The pot is made out of a bowl and a plate sealed together and then smooshed down like it was dropped on a table. I think the spout is visually problematic and a couple of centimeters too long. It is glazed in an Americanized shino glaze that unfortunately didn't get some of the colour variations that are more interesting.

Thanks for sharing your week with us, Evan! The markets, pottery, great looking food coming out of a caravan and a visit to a new place were all great fun. Thanks
