"condemned by the Catholic Church for allowing ordinary people to read the Bible for themselves." .......riiight, exactly.

frowny fructose freedom

Peter Pan laughs at, my most maudlin poetry In this clearer dimension, where you sent me We have cotton candy for clouds  But that sweetness cannot spill, down my cheek  I used to treasure, even that! A spangle clung to my soul Missing you was an aureole, a silky pink shimmery pride A burgeoning, a beauty, and ready to come?  But you took that from me too  Your ambitions for us, were only about you My crown is dissolved, like thinly baby threaded adieu The sky is not so fluffy now because, I don’t need a reply  Captain Hook...is just another guy No longer displaced My question erased.

There is nothing wrong with being Earthy!

Jane and Louise Wilson 303 Gallery

Oddments Room

Internationally acclaimed artists Jane and Louise Wilson are known for their film and photographic works, often exploring states of consciousness and the experience of place. This summer a series of large-scale photographs from their ongoing investigation into the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster premieres at the John Hansard Gallery. The exhibition also features a number of other works, many previously unseen in the UK.

Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum), 2010 is a suite of eight photographic prints depicting deserted interiors from the abandoned town of Pripyat, situated within the 30km wide Exclusion Zone around the site of the disaster. Books remain on shelves and desks, bed frames remain intact and once-exquisite parquet flooring lies on the ground like rubble. A yardstick appears within each image and is a recurring motif throughout the exhibition. These objects of measurement – functional yet obsolete – act as a marker of scale and order, alluding to the tensions between association and analysis, memory and material fact.

The presence of an Ailanthus Altissima or tree of heaven, in the centre of the narrow garden sandwichedbetween Duncan Terrace and Colebrook Row further heightened the local context as they both stress. They later found another tree of heaven in the Oremorne Gardens and used the species as a way of linking both locations. Jo Joelson and Bruce Gilchrist also explain that the name of the tree within the project’s title could have some kind of utopian pretensions. “But as an added layer of biodiversity speak, there's irony in the title of "Spontaneous City in the Tree of Heaven".'' Functioning as an allegory of population crash and dwindling biodiversity Spontaneous City, “could also be interpreted as a metaphor for voidance,” the duo explain.

Raw Pumpkin Pie, the Real Deal!

Crust:

1 cup sprouted buckwheat (substitute almonds if preferred)

1/3 cup ground flax

1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened

1 cup soft dates (soak in water if dry)

1/4 cup raw cacao nibs

1/4 cup raw coconut oil

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp himalayan salt

Filling:

2 cups raw cashews, soaked

1 cup fresh pumpkin juice 

1/2 cup maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of your choice)

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp cloves

1/2 cup raw coconut oil, melted

Directions:

For crust, in a food processor process buckwheat, coconut flakes, flax, coconut, salt, and cinammon until fine texture is reached. Add in the cacao nibs, coconut oil, and lastly drop in dates one at a time while processor is running. Process until the mixture holds together. Press crust into a springform pan oiled with coconut oil beforehand. 

For filling, juice an entire sugar pie pumpkin to get 1 cup of juice (if you don’t have a juicer, blend the chopped pumpkin in a high-speed blender with some water, and strain the juice through a nut-milk bag). Save the seeds and pulp for future creations! Add cashews, pumpkin juice, maple syrup, and spices to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the coconut oil last, ideally while the blender is running. When coconut oil is fully incorporated and the texture is super yummy and smooth, pour the filling on top of the crust. Smooth with a spatula if necessary. 

Save the stem of your sugar pie pumpkin for decorating if you like! 

Freeze the pie for at least 3-4 hours to fully set up. Move to refridgerator 1-2 hours before planning to serve to allow it to thaw. Slice and serve, and fully enjoy this incredible pumpkin pie! 

Serves 12-16 using an 8 inch springform pan. 

Angela says: This truly tastes like REAL pumpkin pie!!! Without the sugar, dairy, eggs, or gluten, using only the purest of ingredients. If you can let this pie sit at room temperature for about 1/2 an hour before serving, the texture will be just perfect. This pie is creamy, comforting, and ‘tis the season! It’s been a major hit over the last three holiday seasons- a true crowd pleaser. Make sure to add in lots of light and love to your creation while you make it- it truly makes a difference. Enjoy!

I only want to LOVE YOU.

"Almost 70% of all tasters questioned rated the same wine as less appealing and accomplished when it was said to come from somewhere else. I’ve also done this an equal number of times in the reverse, pouring a California or Washington wine and later describing it as French. The result was almost exactly the same: when the wine was perceived as French, its approval rating was higher."
