I’ve been a fan of two Oregon artists for a few years, and have written about them both on this blog here, here, and here…only recently discovering they are married. In the wake of the recent blog post on Julie Green’s show at Upfor Gallery, R and I were invited for a studio visit. We […]

Julie Green, Dan May and 12×16 Gallery
Friday was a day of looking at other people’s art…at last. It started early with a visit to the studios of the six senior art majors at Willamette University who are midway in the process of preparing their senior show, opening in April 2016. All six seemed motivated, excited about their work and certain about […]
Julie Green at Corvallis Art Center
This is a little bit silly, but the recent New York Times article on Julie Green’s terrific show at the Corvallis Art Center reminded us we’d better get down there. We set off in the fog this morning… and took the back road… and after a little lunch, arrived at the Corvallis Art Center (700 […]
Still Home…You?
Nancy sent me this lovely hand-made birthday card that is an image for our times (thank you Nancy!)… But to back track…we went to the beach Saturday for my birthday, and to clean out the pantry and retrieve some toilet paper (who is it that HAS all the toilet paper I wonder?). In spite of […]
Clay Lohman at JSMA
We were heading to Eugene and wanted to see Clay Lohman’s installation “Camo Cubes” at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon. Parking is very limited and we had heard that we might apply for “movie star” parking due to my knee recuperation..What a delight to drive up and find… We […]

One of the early views of Salem though was a drawn as an aerial map …before photos were readily available… […]
Spaghetti With Garlic and Oil
This isn’t a cooking blog, but I really like to complete a thought. In 1996 Anna Thomas wrote an new updated version of the Vegetarian Epicure called “The New Vegetarian Epicure”…(sadly without any Julie Maas drawings…) in which she changed the emphasis of the early books on cheese and cream. These recipes ore delicious, fresh, […]
Zucchini Quiche
It’s that time of year…the time to get out your favorite zucchini recipes, in case an anonymous brown bag of zucchini has been left on your doorstep…! “Back in the day” (the ’70’s) I cooked a lot from a cookbook called “The Vegetarian Epicure” by Anna Thomas, because we loved the recipes, and because I […]
Apples and Tomatoes
Gloria’s apples are falling like crazy and my first basket of tomatoes has arrived (even though it’s too shady!) I got out my favorite old cookbook “The Vegetarian Epicure” (c. 1972) by Anna Thomas which you can see I have used a lot. I made apple crisp x 3 last night and just for the […]
