I've started making bricks from material on the property for my large wood-fired bread oven. It's amazing what you can find even on a semi-suburban property by digging. ;)

Way cool! Put your coffee mug (or soup) on top to keep it from getting cold. However, The smell of a bacon fat candle along with a steaming cup of Joe will almost certainly draw in the zombies.
I think I will take this to my kids school as a craft project.

#1 - Why unglazed ceramic?
#2 - In dry climates, you can use a clay pot as an emergency refrigerator. Invert the clay pot onto a surface that will keep it closed, pour water over the surface, and try to keep it damp. As the water evaporates off, it will lower the temperature inside the pot. Not a lot, but it will keep the milk a little fresher than just sitting inside a warm refrigerator when the power goes out. Of course, every time you lift the pot off your cold stuff, you let out what little cold has accumulated.
