Happy Belated 4th!
I am currently hosting two guests, Russell Bentley and the lovely Sky Madden.
We went downtown to watch the fireworks right next to the
S.S. Midway and got stuck in traffic for the next couple of hours following the demonstration. Still not sure if it was worth it.
Here are the things on my plate at the moment:
I am currently helping the
Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society put together a cookbook featuring historical recipes, contemporary submissions from current residents and famous recipes from local businesses. I'm hoping to get
Chino's Farm,
The Inn, Delicious,
Thyme in the Ranch, and
Milles Fleures on board as well. I'm also helping the society renovate their website and begin a blog to update their members. We'll see how that goes.
When I'm not spending time with Russell and Sky (and
Miss Lucille), I'm working on my summer Arts Reporting directed study. I've read some submissions from
MFK Fisher and Alex Kapranos' collection of food memoires from his tour with Franz Ferdinand called
Sound Bites. Next I will read "Vibration Cooking or the Travel Notes of a Geechee Girl" by Vertamae Grosvenor in order to write an essay comparing the three as well as my own food memoire. Where to begin? I have so many great memories that involve food.
I'm also working on an essay about the importance of lyrics. Namely, do they matter in music? If so, under what circumstances do they matter? The
Professor of Pop (who is currently away from the internet for a month or so to write about Zep) is overseeing this one. Feel free to give me your thoughts on lyrics. I've gotten a mixed bag of answers so far.
More to come.
...and into the freezer.
Time to do the ice cream dance while we wait for it to freeze!
