On Saturday afternoon, our favorite potter, Frances Palmer, and her Connecticut friend and neighbor, author of the just published The SoNo Baking Company Cookbook John Barricelli joined Gregory Triana and Sean Nutley at the bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy, in Rhinebeck for a festive signing, sipping, nibbling, meeting and greeting. Everyone's mood was elevated sky high by, apart from the usual caffeinates, lots of sweet and chocolate-y things to eat. Both Barricelli's confections and Palmer's pottery elicited moans of pleasure and murmurs of, "Exquisite!"
