Baking the Bread
Baking the Bread, Anders Zorn, 1889 |
Ok, not literally. Thank goodness I've got an enclosed oven for one thing. But I'm cook, cook, cookin' the day away preparing the Thanksgiving feast. Pies, side dishes, rolls. So much cooking, with something new this year. My son-in-law is going to deep fry the turkey. I am extremely interested to see how it turns out.
Rose and I have done this together enough times that it is like a ballet as we skirt each other cooking, remembering timing and tips to each other, and listen to very American music — per Rose, this means bluegrass. I like bluegrass fine but I also like to put some jazz in there. And Aaron Copeland, George Gershwin, and (most lately) William Grant Still whose first symphony (titled "Afro American Symphony") combines the feel of both Copeland and Gershwin to be very all-American.
Talk about a fun way to get Thanksgiving dinner ready.

A Portrait Of a Christian De Falb
A Portrait Of a Christian De Falbe, Anders Zorn
I'm a big fan of Anders Zorn, but I've never seen anything that looks like this. The combination of visual styles, contrasting between extreme realism in the dog and child with the much more impressionistic fabrics and background makes me think of Gustav Klimt in some ways.
