MONDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2022 SOME EXPERIMENTS IN ASIAN COOKING Cookbooks from our collection. Recently we — especially Len — have been experimenting with Asian recipes. This is both a lot of work and a lot of fun. He’s tried a number of new techniques and flavors. Here are a few photos of some of these dishes. Ingredients. A delicious tofu stir-fry flavored with tamarind paste. Vietnamese steamed fish en papillote, with which we drank wine, of course. The steamed fish taken out of its parchment wrapper. Vegetables and rice to go with the steamed fish. A salad of bean sprouts and cherry tomatoes. Using our steamer for bao. Bao buns filled with mushrooms and bok choi, with carrot pickles. A different experiment: frozen pakora from the Indian grocery store…. … and frozen samosas. Both were good and easy! Blog post © 2022 mae sander Posted by Mae Travels at 9:00 AM 4 comments: Labels: asian food SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 06, 2022 AT THE DETROIT INSTITUTE OF ARTS VAN GOGH IN AMERICA Waiting in line for the fabulous Van Gogh Exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Huge murals of famous Van Gogh paintings are shown on the way into the exhibit. Attendance on Saturday was at capacity, but the crowds were controlled by timed admissions. The selection of paintings and drawings was superb. We were thrilled by the extensive assembly of works by Van Gogh in “Van Gogh in America.” According to the organizers: > “Van Gogh in America is the first exhibition dedicated to the introduction and > early reception of Vincent van Gogh’s art in the United States. The exhibition > displays 78 works by Van Gogh, illustrating the efforts made by early > promoters of his art—including the artist’s family—in America” The DIA was the first American Museum to acquire a Van Gogh painting for its collection: exactly 100 years ago. In 1922, the city of Detroit purchased a self-portrait that he had painted in 1887. By this time, Van Gogh was widely appreciated in Europe, and his works were highly valued. However, the American art establishment was very slow to appreciate his incredible genius. The exhibit documents how a few black-and-white newspaper articles and then the 1913 Armory Show in New York displayed some of his paintings, which didn’t find purchasers. A later exhibit, organized by Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and others also featured Van Gogh paintings. Several of the works from this show by other artists such as Frank Stella and Paul Cézanne were in the DIA exhibit in addition to the Van Goghs, The history of how the American museum-going public came to love Van Gogh and how other museums and other exhibits made his work more widely available was the main subject of the exhibit. The placards on the walls and other documentation also show how the legend of Van Gogh’s supposedly tormented life took over the public imagination, despite evidence that he was a thoughtful and painstaking draftsman and artist. This unusual approach to art history makes this exhibit different from most art exhibits I have seen, and I found it wonderful and fascinating. OTHER FAMOUS WORKS IN THE DIA COLLECTION We love going to the DIA, and were delighted to return after three years, as the pandemic has kept us away. Here are two works that we saw today, among those that we have enjoyed returning to over and over. The museum is less than an hour’s drive from our home, so we have frequented its galleries throughout the time we have lived here. Diego Rivera’s interpretations of Detroit Industry are among his most impressive murals. The DIA also has a remarkable collection of puppets from the early 20th century. This is a puppet of Cleopatra by Martin T. Stevens and Olga Stevens. Only a few puppets are displayed at any one time, so Cleopatra was new to me. Review © 2022 mae sander.

It manages to be both very funny, full of almost unbelievable chase scenes, and also suspenseful. It has very good actors, starring Millie Bobby Brown and including Helena Bonham Carter. A major plot element — protest against abuse of the women who work in a toxic match factory — is based on actual history. As far as I noticed, there’s not a single bite of food consumed or mentioned in the film (correct me if I’m wrong) — though I always look for food scenes. I didn’t miss them. There’s very little food in the original Sherlock Holmes either. Here’s the most surprising thing about it: there is a character named Mae.

IT WAS BEING SOLD AT COSTCO WITH ALL THE OTHER PET FOOD. Posted by Mae Travels at 5:00 AM 15 comments: Labels: Costco THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 03, 2022 MR. MICAWBER From the project Gutenberg online David Copperfield, a facsimile of the 1869 illustrated edition. David Copperfield, published in 1849, is an undisputed classic. While I have read it before, I just read it again, and again found it very very long but wonderful, masterful, unimaginably great. I remembered a great deal, but found many fascinating features of the plot and the characters that I recalled only when reading. I reread this novel because I was curious to know it better, and also because I wanted to know how Barbara Kingsolver’s new publication, Demon Copperhead, had used Dickens’ material. The answer is, Kingsolver’s work borrowed much more than I recognized when I was reading it, because I had forgotten so many details of Dickens’ characters. I don’t feel like writing a comparison, though. I’m sure someone else will do that. In my recent write-up of her book, I mentioned some of these things. What can I say about David Copperfield that could possibly be new, after all the years of people saying things about it? Dickens is most admired for his characters and dialog, for a type of intense pathos contrasting with very funny scenes, and for a deep look at the social problems of his era. I love the way he writes these things. The dialog is very different from modern novels, as the characters really speak at length and in a very individualized way, in some cases involving language that reveals their social class and local origin, In some cases this includes dialect words that Dickens explains parenthetically, suggesting that even his readers at the time wouldn’t have known them. Some characters have one special phrase in their speech, and repeat it often, but the individualization goes much further than that. Although it’s been done before, I decided to focus on just one character: Mr. Micawber, whom David Copperfield first encountered when he was a mistreated child, and continues to meet as he matures. (If you aren’t familiar with the story, it is a first-person account of Copperfield’s life from his birth through near-middle age.) For most of the novel, Micawber is a constantly unsuccessful businessman, who finds new opportunities to fail in business or professional life, while he pawns or sells the family property to support them. He repeatedly says he is sure that something will turn up: > “I have known him come home to supper with a flood of tears, and a > declaration that nothing was now left but a jail; and go to bed making a > calculation of the expense of putting bow-windows to the house, ‘in case > anything turned up’, which was his favourite expression. And Mrs. Micawber was > just the same.” (Chapter 11) Micawbar’s debts, as implied here, sometimes cause him to be thrown out of his rented quarters along with his brood of children and his loyal wife who repeats the statement “I will never desert Mr. Micawber.” When the Micawbers have money, they even entertain well. On one occasion, we learn: > “We had a beautiful little dinner. Quite an elegant dish of fish; the > kidney-end of a loin of veal, roasted; fried sausage-meat; a partridge, and a > pudding. There was wine, and there was strong ale; and after dinner Mrs. > Micawber made us a bowl of hot punch with her own hands.” (Chapter 17). After being a very predictable character most of the way through the novel, however, Mr. Micawber does something totally unexpected and courageous: obtaining evidence to rescue David Copperfield’s dear friend and mentor Mr. Wickfield, who has been blackmailed and scammed by the throughly disgusting character Uriah Heep. (Dickens is much admired for creating this incredibly hideous and physically and morally revolting personality!) Micawber, through all his experiences, is best known for this statement: > "‘My other piece of advice, Copperfield,’ said Mr. Micawber, ‘you know. Annual > income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result > happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought > and six, result misery. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered, the god > of day goes down upon the dreary scene, and—and in short you are for ever > floored. As I am!’ To make his example the more impressive, Mr. Micawber drank > a glass of punch with an air of great enjoyment and satisfaction, and whistled > the College Hornpipe." (Chapter 12) Besides his memorable views about his pecuniary misfortunes, on several occasions Micawber shares the noted drink of punch with David Copperfield. In fact, on these occasions, he mixes the punch, using lemons, boiling water, and some rum. After mixing the punch, he often drinks several glasses of it, and considers it a kind of patriotic thing to do: he refers to "the ingredients necessary to the composition of a moderate portion of that Beverage which is peculiarly associated, in our minds, with the Roast Beef of Old England. I allude to—in short, Punch." (Chapter 57) The Micawber family with David Copperfield, seated around a table set for making punch. Here’s how he did it on one occasion that David Copperfield describes: > "I informed Mr. Micawber that I relied upon him for a bowl of punch, and led > him to the lemons. His recent despondency, not to say despair, was gone in a > moment. I never saw a man so thoroughly enjoy himself amid the fragrance of > lemon-peel and sugar, the odour of burning rum, and the steam of boiling > water, as Mr. Micawber did that afternoon. It was wonderful to see his face > shining at us out of a thin cloud of these delicate fumes, as he stirred, and > mixed, and tasted, and looked as if he were making, instead of punch, a > fortune for his family down to the latest posterity." (Chapter 28) Dickens is an amazing writer, though a modern reader has to adjust to the length and depth of his descriptions, the long-windedness of the dialog, and the incredibly enormous number of characters that make up his work. If you consider that his novels were published in serial form — David Copperfield appeared over two years in 20 installments — reading the novel is really like binge watching an old TV series with two seasons of 10 episodes each!

I find it hard to imagine myself into his brilliant brain or into the process he describes. In the article, titled "Where My Characters Come From: I don't choose them, they choose me," published last week in The Atlantic, he reveals a situation that's totally beyond me -- and fascinating, especially observations like this: > "When a novel is on the right track, the characters take on a life of their > own, the story moves forward by itself, and the novelist ends up in a very > happy situation, just writing down what he sees happening in front of him. And > sometimes a character takes the novelist by the hand, leading the way to an > unexpected destination." Editions of Murakami's A Wild Sheep Chase, which I've enjoyed reading more than once. In his article, Murakami describes how his feelings about people contribute to his creativity with the characters in his novels, and how his process evolved over decades of writing novels. To me, this is amazing. In his early novels, for example, he wrote in the first person, and he mainly did not give names to his characters: > "Why couldn’t I give them actual names? I don’t know the answer. All I can say > is that I felt embarrassed about assigning people names. I felt that somebody > like me endowing others (even characters I made up) with names seemed kind of > phony. Maybe in the beginning I felt embarrassed, too, by the whole act of > writing novels. It was like laying my naked heart out for everyone to see." Murakami talks in detail about some of his books and how the characters came to life while he was writing. I can't imagine ever being able to do what he does, despite the fact that he writes some of his article as advice to aspiring writers. I find it exciting to read what he says, and impossible to imagine doing it. I'm in the middle of reading Dickens' David Copperfield, which has scores of vivid characters, and I wonder if Dickens' experience in writing was anything like the process Murakami documents here. I especially liked Murakami's final sentence: > "Whenever I begin writing a new novel, I get excited, wondering what kinds of > people I’m going to meet next." I'm looking forward to reading whatever novel this process will bring next!

In all the kitchens of the world, cooks are worried about food scarcity, higher prices, and short supplies of favorites, and even of necessities. Food insecurity is increasing, on a global scale. One reason is deteriorating conditions for growing crops in many places. Climate change is accelerating food supply problems and cooperation among nations to take effective measures against the warming planet are not going well. Here’s the unfortunate and inconvenient fact: > "With each fraction of a degree of warming, tens of millions more people > worldwide would be exposed to life-threatening heat waves, food and water > scarcity, and coastal flooding while millions more mammals, insects, birds and > plants would disappear." (New York Times, October 26,2022) Declining food production is already occurring in some places, and hunger — even starvation — is already widespread in some parts of the world. Besides climate change, the war in Ukraine has caused higher prices of grains and cooking oil. Though not as disastrous as was first expected, the situation is volatile. The impact of the war on global food supplies and prices is very important and also complicated. I have not addressed it in this post: the issue needs much more space and attention than what I have written here. Thinking about people around the world and their problems obtaining healthy food, or in fact any food, is often on my mind. I’m also thinking about how current issues are directly affecting my kitchen and kitchens like mine. For this blog post, admittedly centered on the American kitchen of the moment, I’ve chosen just a few examples of foods in my kitchen that almost everyone in the US depends on, but that are affected by the variables of a warming planet. I definitely know that I’m privileged, but these details are part of a big picture of the state of the whole world’s kitchens. PROCESSED TOMATO PRODUCTS From my pantry: this can of tomato sauce says “Organic California Roma Tomatoes.” Ninety- five percent of processed tomatoes for US consumption are grown in California. Pizza sauce, tomato sauce, tomato paste, catsup…we Americans depend on these products for many of our favorite dishes. In 2022 the tomato harvest is coming in much smaller than usual, as “rising interest rates, inflation, and the crushing drought squeezed farmers who saw their margins sliced and diced. While the cost of growing tomatoes continues to rise, it’s ultimately hitting consumers in the wallet as well.” The drought has vastly decreased the farmers’ access to irrigation water, and many farmers had to leave their fields standing fallow. Some farmers weren’t even able to plant any crops at all, and others have switched from tomatoes to less water-intensive produce. (CNN, October 17, 2022) Prices will go up, even if imported produce can replace some of the US farm products. Unfortunately, this is not solely due to inflation, but to actual reduction in supplies of food. FRESH VEGETABLES While California produces most tomatoes for canning, Florida is a major producer of fresh tomatoes and also other vegetables such as the green onions in my photo. Green onions, which normally come from Florida, were hard to find here for a while, and the ones in the photo are from California. However, there are problems with harvests, planting, rain (too little or too much), and many other aspects of the farms where many such vegetables grow. The tomatoes in the photo were grown in Ontario, Canada, which is a local supplier in our area (it’s only around 70 miles from here to the tomato-growing farms and greenhouses along Lake Erie). Florida is also a major fresh tomato growing area: from October to June, Florida supplies over half the fresh tomatoes for the US. At other times, we rely on the declining capabilities of California agriculture. Again, a climate issue is disrupting supplies: > “Because Hurricane Ian made landfall three weeks later than Irma, almost all > of southwest Florida’s tomato seedlings were planted when the storm arrived, > meaning that many acres will need to be replanted after basic services are > restored in Lee and Charlotte Counties, counties hit hard by Ian.” (source) Far more food supplies than tomatoes and green onions have been disrupted by the hurricane. Farms in Florida produce citrus fruit, field crops, and also raise cattle and produce honey. “Across Florida, Hurricane Ian trampled through about 4 million acres of farmland, according to the latest figures from the Agriculture Department for the affected counties.” (source) More from my refrigerator: cucumbers from Canada; lettuce, celery, and carrots from California, and fresh ginger from an unnamed source. California has a different set of problems with the many vegetables it supplies to American consumers, including lettuce, broccoli, and more. In fact, California provides Americans with the majority of their almonds, artichokes, celery, figs, garlic, grapes, raisins and quite.a few other fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Most of these have also become more expensive recently, for a variety of reasons. For example, the California lettuce crop is in trouble, as heat waves intensify problems from plant diseases. As of earlier in October the situation was this: > “For three years, Central Valley lettuce and leafy greens growers have battled > Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV), which is a plant pathogenic virus. Hot > weather three weeks ago really activated INSV damage. But the influence of the > disease begins with the outset of summer. In mid-October, yields were down as > much as 50% below full production … ‘the industry is reaching some peak > pricing.’” (source) Many other countries and other parts of the US beyond California and Florida are growers of agricultural products, and their supplies are not necessarily as troubled as these major producers. But even if alternate agricultural areas can offer more produce to be imported to the US and supplied to other countries, many issues of international supply, demand, and rising price are looming ahead of the planet. I’ve only discussed the issues for well-off consumers in the US, but for poor people and for countries that don’t have the resources of the US and Europe the increase in prices and the decline in supplies have even worse consequences. Don’t misunderstand: I know that people in my situation have more choices and are more fortunate. SRIRACHA HOT SAUCES Last summer, Huy Fong foods, California maker of the famous Sriracha hot sauce, was “forced to suspend production of its iconic spicy sauces — Sriracha, Chili Garlic and Sambal Oelek — due to a lack of chili peppers.” (source) An unprecedented crop failure last spring of the chiles that are grown in California and Mexico just for Huy Fong was the cause of the interruption in production: another consequence of the widespread drought. Another non-climate factor: a large judgement against the company in a lawsuit brought by the chili grower in California also may have had some impact on the corporation. In the photo, in my kitchen, you can see my supplies of Sriracha hot sauce and chili garlic sauce. I just purchased the new jar of chili-garlic sauce last week. The Korean and Indian specialty shops where I shopped seemed to have ample supplies of the product in several sizes. I’m not sure of the details, but I think that supplies of Sriracha products, which were scarce over the summer, have now returned to normal. Still, this drought-related interruption in supply is another example of the way that food supplies in our time are unpredictable. ORANGE JUICE: NO MORE “FLORIDA’S NATURAL” “Florida’s Natural” Labels: The Old: "NOT FROM CONCENTRATE NON GMO" The New: "FROM CONCENTRATE" (photos are from supermarket websites) Let's talk about orange juice. Until recently, the juice you would find in my kitchen was often from the growers' coop "Florida's Natural." Not any more! Look carefully at the old label on the left and the new one on the right. I've always avoided packaged juice that is reconstituted from concentrate; the quality is just not the same. I’ve found other brands are still not from concentrate, and I hope that will continue. The sad fact is that production of oranges in Florida’s citrus groves is no longer adequate to supply American OJ-drinking habits. Diseases of the trees, insect pests, and disastrous weather events have devastated the citrus crops for several years. After decades of emphasizing that all their juice was grown in Florida, the Florida’s Natural growers now explain : > "Unfortunately, the Florida orange crop has been declining for decades while > our fans continue to buy more and more Florida's Natural orange juice. The > Florida orange crop can no longer meet our consumer demand, so we are adding > in only the best Mexican Valencia orange juice." Besides all the other problems, hurricane Ian resulted in a total loss of this year’s crop for many citrus farmers in its path, and up to 30% of their trees may be lost. “Even before the storm, the USDA had predicted the Florida orange crop would be down by a third this year.” (NPR, October 14) SWEETNESS FOR A WARMING PLANET Throughout the world, in kitchens everywhere, you can find a variety of food supplies affected by heat, drought, fires, and exceptional storms. Honeybees in the US have suffered from “colony collapse” which is probably a result of decreased availability of pollen sources, due to climate change. Another source of sweetness: the sugar-maple groves in Michigan, Vermont, and Canada; these trees have become less productive because of unpredictable weather in spring, when the sap is gathered for maple syrup. Sugar cane cultivation has also been affected by storms and heat waves. Also food for thought: unlike many other crops, cane sugar production is a major producer of greenhouse gases that drive climate change. In my kitchen: sugar, honey, maple syrup. An article "Turkey's Honey Apocalypse is a Warning to the World" (in the Atlantic, published October 28) summarizes how unprecedented heat and fires are affecting beekeepers in Turkey, California, Morocco, India, and Australia, diminishing the number of productive hives in a number of ways. The importance of bees as pollinators of other crop disrupt agricultural success. The article is specifically focused on the way that wildfires of exceptional intensity destroyed large numbers of honey-producing beehives in Turkey and Greece in 2021. One of the local Turkish favorite types of honey is now virtually unavailable. On a global scale, the article points out: "bees are an integral part of our ecosystems, and the destruction of bees and their habitats can affect the pollination of plants that produce almonds, coffee, and more. As heat waves and fires sweep through North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, sweetness and sustenance are too often reduced to ash." NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS ARE, HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Don’t worry, we do have something other than vegetables in the house. In fact, we are ready for the trick-or-treaters. I promise not to eat any before 6 PM. Candy prices have gone up a lot, but that’s yet another discussion! Blog post © 2022 mae sander. Shared with Sherry’s In My Kitchen Blog Party and with Elizabeth’s weekly tea party.
