Look what’s new and bright at select Dennis Company stores!

The beautiful pottery of Puebla, Mexico is a traditional, tin-enameled earthenware pottery, known as Talavera. The pottery itself is still made with the same basic traditional process that was used in the 16th century; but has a new modern twist that adds a lot of life and style into this unique pottery. The modern styles have transformed the traditional process by adding in new shapes and elaborate colorful motifs. This world-renowned hand-painted pottery comes in various forms, including both functional and decorative items such as plates, serving dishes, vases and tiles. Look for these at the Raymond and Aberdeen stores!

Super-fast Egg Curing Recipe

Using Fire Brine brings several advantages, namely time, ease and even more thoroughness. With Fire Brine you don’t have to butterfly your eggs. With BorX O Fire you do in order to get the cure in between the folds of the skein. Fortunately, Fire Brine doesn’t require that. Because it’s a liquid, the eggs absorb it all. The brine doesn’t discriminate on any egg in the skein. The liquid fills in all the spaces. To read more click here
