As I say, Tink's photo challenge is dirty and peekaboo. My grill is dirty alright, filthy enough that you ask: you're gonna use that for FOOD? Well, yes, then you can see my little veggies playing peekaboo out of the top.
Our grills always look like that, and my DH claims it makes the food taste better. (I'm never sure if he is telling me the truth or not.) He's another charcoal & wood griller. I love the smell and the taste, but I'm all about reliabilty and convenience these days, so it's me and my (big puffy heart) propane grill most of the time.
Not to say I've never had a burger on one of those - and I do love the charcoal smell, (except for the lighter fluid, unless you use wood chips) but rust... I'll take the beer and peanuts! lol!

As my old pal Gordo says:
"You want plain, old pots or plates? Go see the other guys. You want whimsy and creativity? Gary's the man!"

my pots are lead-free, microwaveable and dishwasher safe, just don't drop them!
Mary Lee got her pots and says: "Love 'em both......I'm also much relieved to find that both pieces are useable in any of the traditional manners, micro, dishwasher, etc., something I'd wondered about.
I'm truly delighted ....the glaze is so very much nicer in person. Photos do not do it justice, alas! "

From Quebec, Mags gets excited:
GUESS WHAT? My pots arrived! Oh my GOD! They are beautiful and you are soooooooooo sweet
another happy pig lover wrote:
Thank you so much for the prompt delivery...... I LOVE it!!! This day has been very stressful, and your package certainly brightened it. :-) (Sometimes all ya need is a couple of pigs!)
These will be favorites.
Thanks again, M.P.
When Mona opened up her box of pots she said:
I went all gooshy 'cause they're absolutely amazing! The pigs are gosh-darned cute, and the glaze-work is gorgeous! I can't keep my hands off them! Seriously! I keep finding excuses to walk by them .....
Lucia has something to say:
Gary -
You're awesome.
The vase is beautiful!! It's even more lovely than it looked in the photo. And the surprise, I laughed so loud at its cuteness that a co-worker came in and asked what was so funny. Thank you so much! I felt just like it was Christmas here in the office this morning, and I'm smiling. Wooooohooo!!! You're excellent.

E.S. sez:
The package made it in excellent condition! I absolutely loved them. I almost couldn't part with the pig mug, but I gave it to my coworker for her birthday who is in love with pigs.
and more happy customers say:
"Gary, my pots arrived! They're beautiful just as I expected
I just wanted to thank you ever so much...adorable." Maggie

I have a little cast iron Lodge grill...but haven't used it yet! Not sure how much charcoal to use LOL!
charcoal, baby, OLD SCHOOL grilling!
Mmmm, that ain't dirt, it's flavor!
actually, I like how I can see the reflection in the top of the grill. Not what the word was, I know, but neat nonetheless.

I'm sorry, Gary...but I'll stick w/ my rust-free propane grill - thankyouverymuch! :)
there is something about an ON AND OFF switch, I agree, but when the charcoal is warming up, you see, the beers are poured and the peanuts served...
and pieces of rusted metal in my throat! ;)

Love the shots Gary, but you do know that you can clean the grill once in awhile, right?
Love the peek-a-boo with veggies ; )
Did you ever get the puppy bathed? I think I saw droplets of water on her...
Oooohhhh clever! Our gril is dirtier if it makes you feel better and we are grilling turkey and salmon burgers as I type.
Penny got a little wet, that was the best I could do, and NO I didn't know you should ever clean a grill--I just let the layers build! Tasty!
