Today I join Rain´s Thursday Art and Dinner Date with "fire" - yippee for being back! And thank you Cathy for filling in, too!
Not into such a "mess"? How about "my teacher´s"?
I will not buy that scary oven but I will try out that pizza!
"The Dangers of Fashion in the Victorian Era
Poisonous animal taxidermy
Dead birds, such as songbirds, were popular as decorations on women's hats at this time. The birds themselves were not harmful, but the arsenic used to prepare them was.
As a man of upper class, you had to wear a hat in Victorian times. The problem was that many of these hats were made with mercury. The mercury was used to process the stiff fur of animals such as rabbits and hares into more flexible felt. The mercury caused a variety of harmful effects, including muscle and abdominal cramps, tremors, paralysis, and fertility problems. It is said that the Mad Hatter from "Alice in Wonderland" shows some signs of mercury poisoning."
The countdown to Creep:

Love barbecues! We have the tandoor version of it!
The poisonous hat stories are scary! So much for fashion.
I YouTubed your version - I think that would be too hot for me...
Yah, fashion, huh...
Love your creative fire piece and the potatoes sound good. Victorian times were scary. -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
...I'm quite good at burning food!
To celebrating "good" fires!
Yes, so glad we live today!
LOL, Tom! Then rather let your Sweetie cook when you invite friends...

Go Potatoes ,
Cheers
I can remember my Mum cooking potatoes like that when I was a kid and they were so good.
Fashion is scary, Iris.
I hope I will get spared, really. We have real wooden floor... But: We live ground floor, so I can run out or jump from the balcony/windows!
Cheers and to potatoes! I am half one (post to come).
Yep, so yummy, those potatoes!
And huh, glad we now know better than back in the day, RedPat!
I'm edgy about fire too. I like one in a fireplace (and can finally make one) but that's my limit. I let Rick handle the rest!
I love the taste of grilled potatoes. Put some cheese on them, a big YUMMY.
Same here, Jeanie!
That´s another good idea, cheese!
Dear friend Iris, your sketch made me smile! How heartwarming! I love your glasses! I love potatoes! Your Halloween gang are delightful! And Henry looks magnificent! Warm hugs and much love coming your way!
Thank you, dear friend Linda! The fire is happy, as are the glasses and oh, potatoes. Much love and hugs to you!
I love the fire lion! How is that oven scary? There are no flames just a hot element at the back with a rotating thing to put the pizza on. I have never been afraid of fire, but I would be if it was a bushfire headed towards my home. Can you get aluminium foil for cooking in Germany? Wrap each potato in a small piece of foil before putting them in the coals, they will still bake but not go black.
The oven looks... like you can easily burn yourself! The sides get hot, too, right? In my fist semester at FH a fellow student unexpectedly showed me her burnings on the forearm from an oven - I nearly fell unconscious. From early on (4 years) fire was in my life. At Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater one came towards us and we had no 4-wheeler. Ingo considered it "not dangerous" and it changed indeed directions but I had some alert night!
Yes, we can get alu-foil but the fun is the memories of your country this way :-) Also imagine... we ate them in the dark - in our last wills we ordered to be cremated - by the amount of coal we likely ate we´ll make BIG diamonds when getting taken to Switzerland, and if the partner wants, get pressed into a HUGE diamond. Or maybe not, LOL.
