by Joan Kingsbury Mary' Lou Button is. a very creative cook. The only time she uses a recipe is for baked goods. All the recipes shared with us are originals with the ex- ception of the carrot cake. Circle magazines help give her some ideas but all dishes coming out of her kitchen are basically her own. Mary Lou and her husband built their home on Ridge Street in Fern- brook four years ago. Their home, too, is an ‘‘original”’ since the Buttons built it from scratch. Daughter Michele, 9, and son Stephen, 22 months, complete the family. A graduate of Wilkes- Barre Business College, Mary Lou is originally from Fernbrook. Rodney is from Springville, near Montrose. Rodney was in the Marines when he and Mary Loufirst married. Her served a year in Viet Nam. He is employed by James Eagen and Sons, Wyoming, as a welder. N They also own and operate brook. Mary Lou became in- terested in ceramics about six years ago. Then she and some friends spent one night a week taking ceramics. She liked it so much that she decided to buy her own kiln, and begin on a small basis.As luck would have it, an acquaintance was selling her shop, so Mary Lou was in business. Ceramics are fun for Mary Lou. She finds running the shop very enjoyable especially her Saturday morning childrens lessons. Seeing the looks on the faces of the see the finished project is thrilling according to Mary Lou. Rodney has the hardest Mary Lou’s opinion. He does all the casting of greenware for the shop. This process begins by ising clay in a liquid form. It is then cast into a mold Molding a piece takes an entire day between firing and drying. sometimes longer depending on the size of the greenware. After the piece is dried it must be trimmed styled and if it consists of several pieces the pieces must be attached. When someone begins a ceramic piece the first step is cleaning the piece.The rough seams are smoothed and the piece is sponged, then painted and fired in an three main types of paints underglazes. Mary Lou feels, ‘‘The nice thing about ceramics is that you don’t have to be an artist to do them. Making something and giving it away as a gift is the best part of doing ceramics.” The shop is opened six days per week, Monday through Saturday. Lessons are available. Mary Lou fills special orders for shower and banquet favors upon request. Although she is very busy with her work, Mary Lou has joined the Back Mountain Jaycettes, which she really enjoys. At the auction she spent some time working at the club’s children’s booth. Working with children is one of Mary Lou’s favorite hobbies. Michele is in Brownies and just finished attending the cheerleading clinic held at Dallas Senior High School. The Buttons are members of St. Pauls Lutheran Church where ITY 3 LA-Z-BOY 288-8535 Michele sings in the choir. Both the Buttons like sports. Baseball is a favorite of Mary Lou’s. She also likes to play tennis. Kodney enjoys baseball, basketball, hunting and fishing. They belong to a card club. Camping is enjoyed by the entire family. They usually camp at local camp grounds. Since Mary Lou’s recipes are originals, anyone with a question is welcome to five her a call. Mary Lou’s potato salad is an in- teresting combination of ingredients that always brings compliments from her friends. The chicken one dish meal is simple yet good enough for company. Choose either mashed rutabaga or special string beans for a delicious side dish. Hors d’oeuvres are a favorite of the card club. Carrot cake with cream cheese icing is delicious in the summertime since it is kept refrigerated. These are the Buttons’ favorites, and Mary Lou hopes everyone likes them as much as her family does.
