Definitely innunedo!  I'm trying to encourage her to apply her
already-developed skills in sculpture and painting to edible media.  She could
do some really dynamite subtleties that way, or knowing her, not subtle at
all.  Blatanties?

BTW, speaking of pottery and IC, I just found the 2000th Dish Battle which
showed Kaga's working at pottery,   You can have the tape when next we meet.
I'll have to stay carefully away from the oven if you are baking fruitcakes
