I spent my 40th birthday at Chuck E Cheese in Staten Island. Not to say it wasn't fun, but I enjoyed the real celebration upstate visiting a another larger-than-life critter. Last summer we made a frog oven out of cob (adobe). It's been buried under snow all winter, but this weekend we unwrapped it and fired it up:
As you can see, it had alot of cracks but the frog itself was basically intact. After we completely burned the inaugural loaf of bread, we went to work mixing a clay, manure, and plaster mix to coat the whole thing and patch the cracks.
We'll see how long the plaster lasts. This is our first attempt at making anything out of cob, so like most of the things we do, we are just winging it and seeing what happens. So far so good.
