Salt Pig.

My last purchase before moving in to the new house was 
a Nigella Lawson Salt Pig in blue.



So started the conversation with my kids on why it is called a pig,
when it actually is an egg shape.

So I did a little investigating.

The use of the word "Pig"  is found in Northern English and
 Scottish dialect meaning earthenware vessel.  
Which is also where the term
 "Piggy Bank"comes from as well.

 so you learn something new everyday.
It's great to have inquisitive minds around to question things
that maybe you wouldn't otherwise research.

I love Nigella's kitchenware's, have my eye on some other lovelies too.
Need to win that lotto :-)

Off to paint.

Happy Wednesday.

  3. I love this. I have given two as gifts but I think I should give myself one. The colour is just perfect. I like the idea of storing my garlic cloves in it as well :)
