pròxima estació:
Instead of buying a bulk tri-month ticket for the ferrocarril in Barcelona, I bought a ticket every time I got on. (56 tickets here, plus the times I got on and lost my ticket ...)
I have plans for these, but for now here's a grid.

ON THE PRODUCTION OF CULTURE is a roundtable discussion on the urban economics of arts organizations within New York City. This discussion will look into specific moments of innovation that have allowed for some of New York City’s most provocative cultural organizations to thrive.
The city’s urban condition is in many ways a continuous cultural experiment -- often necessitating innovation. Its economics are driving towards highly specialized districts that are as dense, large, and lucrative as possible. This challenges the ability for smaller businesses and particularly smaller cultural organizations to exist sustainably. It threatens the notion of the city -- offered by political scientist Iris Marion Young -- as place that is “heterogeneous, plural and playful, a place where people witness and appreciate diverse cultural expressions that they do not share and do not fully understand.” For New York City to maintain this effect on our world view, it must contain cultural organizations at an extreme variety of scales and genres. This discussion questions how visionary cultural progression is taking place within these seeming constraints of the city.

seasonal me
I find myself these summer days dreaming about delicious recipes and sharing them with unsuspecting friends. Needless to say I have had more dinner guests the past few weeks than usual. Which of course I cannot argue with as cooking for one is a challenge. As I am sure some of you out there know all too well. Which leads me to the point that I got carried away this week and made over 6 dishes and well researched very little. Oops. Continue

seasonal me
Its officially summer and it has been hot and muggy. I am sure I would be more comfortable if I put my ac window unit, but those who have one can agree with the statement that I would rather be hot then poor. Saying this, cooking has been a challenge because the last thing anyone wants to do is to stand in front of the heat. But I have two recipes that are easy and embrace summer.

seasonal me
I have always supported the idea of eating local or seasonal foods. However, I have yet to actually stop myself from buying the produce I want year round at the grocer. Especially in the winter time when seasonal means winter squash and cabbage and all you want is an apple. So in an effort to change my ways, I have dedicated myself to putting my ideals into action and become a seasonal eater. Therefore I am only buying foods that grow within the southeast. By doing so I am willingly giving up pineapple and kiwi and bananas and several other amazing tropical fruits. This might be a bad idea now that I think about it... Either way it is my attempt to help promote sustainable farming and support NC agriculture. As a bonus I have also begun to grow some basic ingredients on my porch. Currently i have several herbs, 2 varieties of tomatoes, green/red peppers and cucumbers.

Due to my involvement with my thesis project all summer (which is not worth the time to keep you posted on because it is amazingly boring,) I have decided to contribute recipes from my seasonal effort. First up: mulberry muffins.
PS: I have a mulberry tree in my backyard. A nice snack if you can battle the birds for the ripe ones.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c white sugar
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 c fat free sour cream
1/4 cup milk
2 t applesauce
1 egg
1/2t almond extract
1/2 c mulberries
I used soy milk and more mulberries and added cinnamon so don't feel restricted by ingredients
Directions:
1. Preheat over to 400 degrees F. Grease/line muffin
pan.
2. Combine all ingredients. Spoon in mulberries
3. Bake for 25-30 min
I would suggest baking them for less time if you are using a 12 muffin sheet. 22-25 min

architect/scenic designer/sculpture/genius
My favorite opera designer of the moment is George Tsypin. He was trained as an architect and now does opera design, sculpture, installations, etc etc. It's pretty obvious why I am attracted to his designs.
The designs are as follows (top to bottom): Theodora, The Flying Dutchman, and the Ring Cycle.
