Recipes for October 19
Kale-Chard Filo tart
Sautee a chopped huge onion, some chopped garlic and a bunch of cleaned, stemmed kale & chard. Puree in a food processor or chop it all small in advance. Fresh fennel bulb is a really good addition to this, as is almost any not-too-wet vegetable.
Layer thawed filo dough quickly and neatly on a baking sheet, brushing layers with olive oil. When half through your pack, spread on your filling, then layer the rest of the dough with the oil. Every other layer is really ok.
You can de-veganize this recipe (recommended) with feta mixed in your filling and melted butter in your layers.
Bake at 350-375 for 20+ minutes or until golden and flaky.
Yogurt raita
Finely chop red onion, green pepper, radishes, carrots, etc. Mix in a tub of yogurt, a big pinch of cumin, fresh herbs (mint is great), S&P, and a dash of sugar to cut the tanginess of the yogurt.
Fried green tomatoes - Thanks to McCallah, a real southerner, for correcting this.
Slice em up thick. Add S&P. Dredge in mixed eggs, then in cornmeal. Fry in hot oil til nicely browned. Drain on papertowels. Good with aforemetioned raita.
Lentil Soup
Oh, I always make stock from my vegetable peelings but it is a pain in the butt, so feel free to use prefab (no msg!) stock or the fabulous "better than boullion" concentrate.
Sautee chopped onions, carrots, celery, garlic and ginger in olive oil or butter. Add washed green lentils. Add plenty of water or stock, tomato paste, S&P. Cook til lentils are just tender. Some chili flakes give it more life.
Green leaf lettuce and chard salad with beets and dijon vinaigrette

Recipes for October 5th
Moroccan Stew
Sautee a mixture of finely diced carrots/celery/onions (this is a good start to many recipes)
Add cooked garbanzo beans
plenty of tomatoes
ground cumin
a cinnamon stick
S & P
** This dish is really best with lamb: start by browning a small leg of lamb and add other ingredients to it- cook until lamb is falling apart. Yum- from the mouth of a pescetarian
CousCous
This is not the traditional way, but the easy way:
Boil 1 cup of water or stock for every cup of couscous. Stir a little olive oil, S&P, and if you wish, currants, pine nuts, etc. into the couscous. Add boiling water/stock & cover for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Voila.
Steamed Kale
Clean & Stem kale, pop in a covered pot with a tiny bit of salted water or stock. Cook still soft- about 5-10 min.
Beets with Ginger Vinaigrette
Wrap beets well in foil and pop in a 400 degree oven for an hour. take out, let cool, and skin.
Slice on a cutting board you don't mind turning magenta. Sit atop steamed kale. Add dressing.
Vinaigrette: mix together a spoonful of good mustard, add champagne vinegar, finely chopped or grated ginger, S & P. Whisk in olive oil.
Heirloom tomatoes with Tarragon
Use ripe heirlooms for obvious reasons. Slice as you like, sprinkle with S&P, olive oil, balsamic & top with fresh tarragon leaves.
Hummus & Baba Ganoush
food processors make this easier..
Hummus- cooked garbanzo beans, cooking liquid, a bit of tahini, garlic, lemon juice, S&P. Blend.
BG- roasted eggplant meat (no skins), a bit of tahini, garlic, lemon juice, S&P. Blend. Can add yogurt for smoother texture.

Jingle Orchestra
The Jingle Orchestras are transient, impermanent grouping of musicians, writers and interested persons to “think positively” and write ‘cheerful advertisement songs’ about the places they live and work. I started the project in Jyderup, Denmark and it has continued in Oakland, California, Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Tábor, Czech Republic. I continue to initiate and collect songs from different cities; Paris, New York, Portland & Philadelphia Suburbs are planned this year, to eventually make a compilation CD. The goals are to bring both friends and strangers: professionals and amateurs alike, together and discuss/discover a sense of place though public and collective thought and nostalgia, and build community through song. The public is invited to come to a variety of meetings in various locations, to improvise together in a short time and make these jingles. It is hoped that the Jingle Orchestras will continue on their own.

Mel Ziegler
We were graced today with a visit by Mel Ziegler- great artist and wonderful person.
I was lucky to have a meeting with him, and he pointed out some new and insightful thoughts about my work. Whenever I end up getting too arty/object-y, the work often comes back around towards me, rather than being about the subject. When the work is more action based, it can focus on its intended significance. Sometimes the simplicity of the action and perhaps a little gift are all it needs. Unfortunately I do love to make stuff sometimes... We also discussed what kind of impact was satisfying to us as artists - does one need to reach the masses or make a big impact on a few people? The second is a lot more realistic I suppose. Thanks Mel!

Librarification
The library is starting to get filled up with goodies- First, thanks to Connie & Zach for getting down and dirty last week to move the furniture around, and Jen's insight about the file cabinet.
I brought in hundreds of cards from art shows/events I have attended worldwide in the last 15-20 years, articles I have taken from art rags, and a few books I dare lend out from my collection.
I would like everyone's opinion on the fun world of archiving. How can it be the most user-friendly?
I think with the show cards: put them in binders by either artist or gallery/space. Then by city, state, country.. If there are doubles one could cross reference, however, I am more interested in referencing by space so it can be of double use. Say a student/visitor is checking out the scene in Berlin. It will be easier to go to the Berlin section than the artist section.. and s/he can check out which venues do what.. However, there can be a master list in the binder that mentions which artists are in the Berlin section.. and so on.
Maybe this is why I am a professional organizer for my job.
Thoughts are welcome. So are donations of books, zines, articles, categories, etc.

A way to look & discuss
Back at CCAC in 1989, the idiosyncratic, fun loving Charles Fisk offered his Ceramic Art History class this article, which has guided my critiquing methods ever since. Robert L. Scranton's introduction to "Aesthetic Aspects of Ancient Art", titled "The Structure of Style", breaks down the art object into the following for a rather basic & scientific approach to critique:
Elements of the Work of Art:
Material
Conceptual
Sensory
within each, there are the
Aesthetic Aspect
Technical Aspect
Rational Aspect
Variations in Manipulating the Elements:
1. Ontology
2. Epistemology
3. Signification
4. Definition
5. Configuration
6. Dynamics
7. System
8. Focus
9. Cohesion
The article will be in the new Portland Artist Resource Center - PARC (working title) located in room 320.
Now the question remains how we put this towards Social Practice. Let's see..
