Awesome Shit That I Want Monday
Finally, salt pig satisfaction.
1. Adorable little ears
2. No getting my hand caught in the too-small opening of an upright salt pig
3. Adorable little nose
This post is a unique and delicate snowflake - there are NO RELATED POSTS...yet....
If you haven’t bought this pig already, they have them at Ten Thousand Villages for $16 and you can sleep well at night knowing that the artist got a fair price for it. It’s here: http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/terra-cotta-pig-dish
But what’s it made of? Because I have broken about 7 of the little ceramic spoons that come with the Emile Henry and/or Le Creuset salt pigs. They get dropped, they shatter. Period. It’s super lame.
Oh, now that is cute. I have a feeling I’d add more salt to everything if that little guy was on my bench.
Wow…this is remarkably like the little salt pig Adam brought back from Chile. No idea where the little spoon is anymore…and also there’s a lid for ours. But how lovely that you won’t have to go all the way to Chile to get one.
Ha! Finally, something useful in the “awesome shit etc.” section… Even though I DON’T collect pigs, I want this! (Thanks, Jolene, for the TenThousandVillages link.)
jolene, awesome! thanks for the link.
kristie, who actually tries to use the little spoons? i discard them immediately.
laura, you wouldn’t add more b/c it would ruin the food, but you’d have more fun adding the salt you DO add.
jodi, that’s why i love it! i’ve always been jealous of your salt pig.
elizabeth, hey, everything is at least of marginal utility…to someone, somewhere.
