The Case of the Mis-identified Letter Writer

For Random Lengths News, it is not an unusual occurrence to receive a few letters that articulate a position that does not concur with ours. In fact, we encourage it in order to raise the level of dialog on the issues that are important to our readers and to further free expression. It was no different in our last edition, where we published a letter, “Words From an Incoherent, Cowardly Bigot.” Though we have conservative and libertarian readers and critics, it is only a minority that actually employs racially inflammatory words and descriptions to make his point.

Lionel’s Lament

By Lionel Rolfe

As bombs were blowing up in Boston last week, I was sitting in my doctor’s office in Los Angeles’ Chinatown and he was telling me that he had no medicines to deal with my painful swollen legs, knees and feet.

Now I know that human misery is a constant, but when you’re experiencing it personally, so is the world. Bombers in Boston, sinkholes, tsunamis, wars, nuclear accidents, meteors hurling toward cities, earthquakes, mad cops running amok, ships crashing into shore as they navigate into port, all somehow equate with my increasingly wobbly legs.

Petal Panache: A Feast for the Eyes and Palate

By Lori Lynn Hirsch Stokoe, Guest Columnist from Tastewiththeeyes.com

Edible flowers are so darn pretty.

It is easy to use them to garnish the plate and call it good. No complaints. But cooking with edible flowers is not just about putting a pretty posy on the plate. It is about matching the flavor, texture, and color so it harmonizes with the dish.

Savory flowers such as chive blossom and society garlic pair well with main courses and vegetables. Sweet aromatic flowers such as roses and lavender pair well with desserts. Almost all of them work in a salad. Lemon-scented geranium petals can enhance a fruit salad, while peppery nasturtiums add zip to a pasta salad with goat cheese. Striking blue borage complements any dish that has cucumber — especially Greek salad.

MoLAA Re-imagines the Permanent Collection
By Andrea Serna, Arts and Culture Columnist

The Museum of Latin American Art owns more than 900 pieces of contemporary Latin American Art. Its collection represents one of the most significant collections of this field in the United States. At the time of the museum’s inception, the art collection of the Robert Gumbiner Foundation was the basis of the museum’s effort. Within the past decade, the collection has grown to represent more than 350 Latin American artists from 20 Latin American countries.

This year MoLAA has returned to its roots with exhibitions curated to present a fresh look at an under-appreciated asset. Nudged into a corner by a tight budget, deprived of the funds to bring in traveling shows, the curators have unearthed a treasure trove of newly interpreted works from their own collection.

The exhibit Lotería is prime example of the newly populist practice of curation, not always executed with this much imagination and talent. Curator of Education, Gabriela Martinez has married the Mexican game of Lotería with images from the permanent collection in a warm, poignant, humorous and thought provoking presentation.
