Raising our spirits

Busy again today, working on status updates for the Filipino Voices Exhibit panels, and going to 2pm meeting at National Steinbeck Center. Also want to mention something wonderful: Two food bloggers, Athena Plichta of Athena Plichta Photgraphy, and Deborah Ryan of East of Eden Cooking, are going to bring us some homemade edible treats to help raise our spirits and energy for the big job ahead. Thanks, Athena and Deborah!

East of Eden

I’ve been working a lot with the folks at the Salinas Steinbeck Center for an upcoming exhibit (“Filipino Voices” opening April 27), so that “East of Eden” thing seems continually looming, especially with a giant image of Steinbeck mounted above the Center’s lobby on a translucent scrim, the valley light shining through — and by the way, the next big National Steinbeck Festival is looming too, beginning on May 3rd. I’ll be participating on a panel there on May 4th.

In the meantime here’s something definitely worth checking out: East of Eden Cooking, which local blogger, Deborah Ryan, brought to my attention. Gorgeous photos of food!
