Proceeds supporting Arts Umbrella
Hats off to Rhoda Rizkalla, Brian Jessel, the committee, volunteers, staff and generous sponsors for pulling off another amazing fundraiser!
Arts Umbrella Story
"It was a dream to instil in all children the love of the arts, inspiring them to become healthy, confident, productive, creative citizens. A dream to build a centre that would awaken the artistic potential of young people in a way that hadn't been done before. It was a dream to make a difference."
— Carol Henriquez, O.C.,
honorary chair of the Arts Umbrella board of directors, co-founder of Arts Umbrella
In 1979, United Nations' International Year of the Child, Arts Umbrella opened its doors to 45 children. It was an endeavour buoyed by the dream of five enthusiastic artists concerned about the lack of arts education available to children. The founders served as instructors, the organization's first board of directors and did everything it took to get their idea off the ground.
The need in the community for children's arts education was evident, and Arts Umbrella took off instantly. Soon a new building, an increasing group of volunteers and donors, and a high-level Board of Directors were in place.
Arts Umbrella has flourished with a strong vision and an unwavering focus on inspiring kids for life through the arts by providing the highest quality visual and performing arts education to children regardless of their financial circumstances.
At Arts Umbrella, children learn to dance, to paint, to sculpt, to create computer games and cartoons, and to perform. They experience the joy of creation and discover their own creative potential. They learn to appreciate the arts. Through arts education, children gain self confidence, independent thinking, technical skills, discipline, and even improved academic results and specific career direction.
Arts Umbrella's strong legacy and culture are the result of the vision and "magic" established by the founders, and continued through the work of the community that supports and upholds the organization. Everyone that has been touched by Arts Umbrella — from students past and present, to parents, staff, instructors, volunteers, donors and the board of directors — thrives and is fed by the energy of the thousands of young people who engage in the magic of the Arts Umbrella experience, year after year.
This magic — charismatic, knowledgeable instructors fostering creativity and inspiring passion in children — is a key attribute of Arts Umbrella, and something the organization continues to take very seriously.
By fostering and nurturing the magic, Arts Umbrella has become a truly world-class children's arts centre serving the community around it, and a model for children's arts institutions around the world.

The Lansdowne is one of the most important junctions in town and is where six roads, Christchurch Rd, Meyrick Rd, Bath Rd, Old Christchurch Rd, Lansdowne Rd and Holdenhurst Rd converge.
Work started on the construction of the Municipal College and Central Library in 1910 with the buildings opening in 1913.
A large detached house [ villa ] called Peachley, built in the mid 1860s, stood on a generous plot at the corner of Christchurch Rd and Meyrick Rd overlooking The Lansdowne and was demolished to make way for the new building.
Another villa called Strathearn that had it's origins in an 1860s villa called Angorfa was incorporated into the end of the Christchurch Rd section of the college.
The clock was donated by Anne Elizabeth Croft, the mother of the local MP Sir Henry Page Croft, in 1912. In 2005 the clock fell silent when maintenance staff were prohibited from climbing the 150ft tower to wind the mechanism on health and safety grounds.
In 2010 an appeal was launched for it's repair and in 2010 it was given a good clean and was converted from hand wound to electric with a link to a satellite to ensure it keeps good time.
On the Meyrick Rd side of the college / library building stood another detached villa [ c 1870s ] that was the Tintagel Boarding House that later became the Tintagel Hotel which survived until the late 1930s.
On the south facing Gervis Rd side of today's enlarged college campus are two villas, Woodcote [ c 1865 ] and Ascham House [ 1865 ], both grade 2 listed, that have been used as schools for much of their long history but probably most notably as Bournemouth Girls School from 1918. In 1932 a new section was built between these two older properties, which were linked to the new building via a corridor to the rear.
In 1960/61 the girls school moved to new premises at Castle Gate Close at Castle Lane West in the north of the town and Woodcote and Ascham House were absorbed into an enlarged college campus.
The main college / library building was extended to the rear and further buildings erected on the campus over the years. In 2002 the central library was moved to new purpose built premises at The Triangle.
Further developments are currently in the pipeline which may result in parts of the campus, once known as the 'Bournemouth College of Technology' and now the 'Bournemouth and Poole College', being redeveloped, including the 1932 section of the former girls school, with the main buildings hopefully remaining safe, protected by their grade 2 listing.
A [ VERY ] POTTED HISTORY OF BOURNEMOUTH...............
1810 - 1835
The founding of the town of Bournemouth is officially commemorated as the being 1810 the year that Captain Lewis Tregonwell and his wife Henrietta purchased a plot of land on the west bank of the Bourne stream upon which to build a large detached house that would serve as their new holiday home. The land was purchased from Sir George Tapps, Lord of the Manor of Christchurch, who became the largest landowner after what had been common land was effectively privatised in the Christchurch Inclosure Act 1802 and the subsequent Awards of 1805.
At that time the area was a remote one that lay mid way between Christchurch and Poole, themselves not the large towns they are today, on what was virtually uninhabited heathland. The house, known as the ''Mansion', was completed in 1812 with the Tregonwells purchasing further land to increase the size of their estate upon which they built a few cottages for staff members and several more to let, mainly to family, friends and associates.
Although the Tregonwells eventually rented out their Mansion, their estate, referred to as 'Bourne Tregonwell' remained all but unknown to the outside world and was somewhere they spent much of their time.
Their original holiday home still exists as part of the Royal Exeter Hotel that stands opposite the Bournemouth International Centre [ B.I.C ] on Exeter Rd.
Lewis Tregonwell died in 1832 a few short years before the next important stage in the development of Bournemouth.
1835 - 1870
In 1835 Sir George Tapps died and his son Sir George Gervis inherited his father's land, much of which lay to the east of the Bourne stream and set about creating a new development that he called his 'Marine Village', a seaside resort aimed at attracting paying guests. Early buildings included the Bath Hotel, later enlarged as the Royal Bath Hotel, the Westover Villas, a row of large detached houses or villas on generous plots that lined what is now Westover Rd, the Belle Vue Boarding House that fronted todays Pier Approach and some public baths that stood where, what was popularly known as the Imax building, was later built..
The new development wasn't a resort as we would understand it now, offering beach holidays, but more of a health resort with much being made of the area's mild micro climate and the health giving properties of the masses of pine trees that would also offer protection from the more extreme vagaries of the British weather.
Over the coming years more and more villas were built, spreading out from the banks of the Bourne stream which in turn attracted those that were needed to build the new properties and those that provided services to the well heeled residents of the fledgling town such as domestic staff, gardeners and food, grocery and household goods suppliers.
By 1856 there was a need to amalgamate the growing development and so Parliament passed the Bournemouth Improvement Act that set the town's first boundary as being within a 1 mile radius of what is today Pier Approach. it also provided for a team of Commissioners, essentially the town's first Council, charged with the power to raise funds via property rates to pay for things like highway improvements, drainage, sewers and street cleaning.
The town continued to grow within the 1 mile boundary and also led to development outside it including artisan / working class areas at Springbourne and Winton.
In 1870 the railway came to town but it was seen by many as a necessary evil and something to be kept as far away from the town centre as possible and so the station was located at the very edge of the 1 mile boundary on the opposite side of Holdenhurst Rd to the present Central Station. This arrival of the railway combined with cheaper rail fares and the creation by Parliament of the first Bank Holidays would lead to the next phase in the development of Bournemouth turning it from a sleepy seaside resort favoured by the wealthy upper classes many of whom were suffering poor health, into the large, bustling holiday destination that we know and love today. Bring it on!
1870 - PRESENT DAY
In 1871 the town's population was just under six thousand but by 1891 it had increased almost ten fold to just under sixty thousand. Most of the new citizens were new comers to the area drawn by the opportunities the fast expanding new town could offer.
In 1876 Springbourne and Boscombe became part of Bournemouth when the town boundaries were extended for the first time with a further six following including Westbourne in 1884, Pokesdown, Southbourne, Winton and Moordown in 1901, Malmesbury Park, Charminster and Strouden Park in 1914, Kinson and Holdenhurst in 1931.
The final area incorporated into the town was Hengistbury Head in 1932 which was purchased from H. Gordon Selfridge founder of the Selfridges department store chain and took the town to it's present size.
Today Bournemouth is home to more than 160,000 people and has grown at a phenomenal rate in the past two hundred years since the Tregonwells purchased that first eight and a half acres of land back in 1810.
The town is still a popular holiday destination and has had to work hard to compete against the rise of the foreign holiday and the unpredictability of the British weather by trying to attract visitors year round. Short weekend breaks, the conference trade, the annual airshow and a thriving night time economy all play their part in attracting day trippers and holiday makers, the life blood of the town's tourism industry.
Sadly Bournemouth is also a victim of it's own success and has almost reached bursting point with space for new homes very much at a premium. Many older, larger properties are being demolished to make way for more, smaller properties, many of them blocks of flats which are squeezed into every available space.
The last of the green belt clings desperately by it's finger tips to the north, rightly or wrongly the town planners and Councillors come under attack for their stewardship of the town and any resemblance to a slow paced seaside resort of old has long gone.
The pressures of modern life, traffic levels, the drinking culture and even the current economic climate all take their toll on the quality of life in the town but it's not all doom and gloom.
Bournemouth is still a great place with much to be proud of such as it's wonderful sandy beaches, cliffs, pleasure gardens, parks, some of it's buildings both old and new, oh, and it's history of course.

I find generous amount of creativity both on Facebook and Twitter and an audience diverse unique ..
But I have my limitations I use Facebook differently from the other person..
I dont use the Like button here at all.
I desist from commenting but I do comment on my close friends posts ..Close friends I have known since years there are part of my Feed.
I do not follow all my Facebook friends as I type with one finger of a damaged hand it is very tough ,,,
I am not part of any Group ,Political Party or even any Shia Anjuman I am fiercely independent and though I come from a Shia background I can seamlessly promote Sufism or Hinduism..
Metaphorically I am the Faith I shoot .
I only shoot India ..its beauty ugliness its people .
I killed the wanderlust in me years back.
I dont have the resources to shoot the rest of India .
I have yet to see Srinagar HP Uttarkhand Odisha Kerala Goa parts of the North East ..Punjab, and many other ciies states villages towns .
So I live in Mumbai I shoot Mumbai.
I dont tag people I hate Facebook pags I dont have a page nor do I visit any page .
I hate chatting not the way Facebbokers chat I have no time no inclination.
I delete most friend requests I delete people who ridicule the people or rituals or culture I shoot .
If you want to find a target I am the wrong one I dont need you and you dont need me .
I dont wave out to people I dont re act ..
I shoot religious stuff but I dont push it up your gullet ..
I have intentionally or unintentionally never tried to hurt your religious sentiments sense or sensibility .
If you find my timeline with splurting blood you should Unfriend me .
I dont shoot porn.
A lot of people in my timeline have passed away I removed them..those handling their accounts are not my friends .
I have kept a few ..for some reason I dont know .
So now you know why I needed to clip my friends list and move on.
I cannot handle friends I cannot give them attention so I find no reason adding them.
I delete most friend requests completely unless I know them met them on my trips or in a rare case if they are connected to another friend of mine.
Most of my posts here on Facebook are marked only for friends yet in the past I have been damned reported adversely by these same friends so I thought in future not to add anyone of them Hindu Sufi Shia or any caste or community .
I dont add politicians not interested ,
So this is a post I shall mark Public...

"This extraordinary man, though second in office is undoubtedly the first and most popular man in the nation. Free, generous, elegant and gentlemanly in his deportment-handsome, brave and valiant; wearing a robe on his back, with the history of his battles emblazoned on it; which would fill a book of themselves, if properly translated. This, readers, is the most extraordinary man, perhaps, who lives at this day, in the atmosphere of Nature's noblemen."
"The dress of Mah-to-toh-pa … the greater part of which I have represented in his full-length portrait, and which I shall now describe, was purchased of him after I had painted his picture; and every article of it can be seen in my Indian Gallery by the side of the portrait, provided I succeed in getting them home to the civilized world without injury."
"Mah-to-toh-pa had agreed to stand before me for his portrait at an early hour of the next morning, and on that day I sat with my palette of colors prepared, and waited till twelve o'clock, before he could leave his toilette with feelings of satisfaction as to the propriety of his looks and the arrangement of his equipments; and at that time it was announced, that 'Mah-to-toh-pa was coming in full dress!' I looked out of the door of the wigwam, and saw him approaching with a firm and elastic step, accompanied by a great crowd of women and children, who were gazing on him with admiration, and escorting him to my room. No tragedian ever trod the stage, nor gladiator ever entered the Roman Forum, with more grace and manly dignity than did Mah-to-toh-pa enter the wigwam, where I was in readiness to receive him. He took his attitude before me, and with the sternness of a Brutus and the stillness of a statue, he stood until the darkness of night broke upon the solitary stillness. His dress, which was a very splendid one, was complete in all its parts, and consisted of a shirt or tunic, leggings, moccasins, head-dress, necklace, shield, bow and quiver, lance, tobacco-sack, and pipe; robe, belt, and knife; medicine-bag, tomahawk, and war-club, or po-ko-mo-kon."
"The shirt, of which I have spoken, was made of two skins of the mountain-sheep, beautifully dressed, and sewed together by seams which rested upon the arms; one skin hanging in front, upon the breast, and the other falling down upon the back; the head being passed between them, and they falling over and resting on the shoulders. Across each shoulder, and somewhat in the form of an epaulette, was a beautiful band; and down each arm from the neck to the hand was a similar one, of two inches in width (and crossing the other at right angles on the shoulder) beautifully embroidered with porcupine quills worked on the dress, and covering the seams. To the lower edge of these bands the whole way, at intervals of half an inch, were attached long locks of black hair, which he had taken with his own hand from the heads of his enemies whom he had slain in battle, and which he thus wore as a trophy, and also as an ornament to his dress. The front and back of the shirt were curiously garnished in several parts with porcupine quills and paintings of the battles he had fought, and also with representations of the victims that had fallen by his hand. The bottom of the dress was bound or hemmed with ermine skins, and tassels of ermines' tails were suspended from the arms and the shoulders."
"The Leggings, which were made of deer skins, beautifully dressed, and fitting tight to the leg, extended from the feet to the hips, and were fastened to a belt which was passed around the waist. These, like the shirt, had a similar band, worked with porcupine quills of richest dyes, passing down the seam on the outer part of the leg, and fringed also the whole length of the leg, with the scalp-locks taken from his enemies' heads."
"The Head-dress, which was superb and truly cent, consisted of a crest of war-eagles gracefully falling back from the forehead e back part of the head, and extending quite down to his feet; set the whole way in a profusion of ermine, and surmounted on the top of the head, with the horns of the buffalo, shaved thin and highly polished."
"Such was the dress of Mah-to-toh-pa when he entered my wigwam to stand for his picture; but such I have not entirely represented it in his portrait; having rejected such trappings and ornaments as interfered with the grace and simplicity of the figure. He was beautifully and extravagantly dressed; and in this he was not alone, for hundreds of others are equally elegant. In plumes, and arms, and ornaments, he is not singular; but in laurels and wreaths he stands unparalleled. His breast has been bared and scarred in defense of his country, and his brows crowned with honors that elevate him conspicuous above all of his nation. There is no man among the Mandans so generally loved, nor anyone who wears a robe so justly famed and honorable as that of Mah-to-toh-pa" (Letters and Notes, vol. I).
Painted at the Mandan village in 1832. Four Bears (Máh-to-tóh-pa) was the most publicized Indian of the Upper Missouri in the 1830's, and the subject among all of Catlin's portraits whom the artist most favored. The two communicated often and at length during Catlin's stay at Mandan village, and the full-length portrait of Four Bears is one of the finest, and certainly the most widely known, in the collection. Calm, dignified, splendidly costumed (and stripped of certain encumbering "ornaments and trappings"), the chief is presented by Catlin with all the pomp of an imperial portrait, and Ewers (1968) points out how that image of Four Bears became over the years a symbol of the North American Indian. Ewers (1956) also comments on the accuracy of the portrait by comparing the features to those of Four Bears' son, and the costume details to the original costume, which is in the Smithsonian anthropology collections.
The Gilcrease watercolor incorporates most of the detail of the original, and the half-length portrait of Four Bears in the Smithsonian is a less imposing, but more sympathetic and descriptive record of his features. Catlin also lists a painting of the subject among those commissioned by Louis Philippe (see Travels in Europe). Four Bears appears again, full length, in plate 28 of the North American Indian Portfolio, first published in 1844, and in several cartoons that Catlin reproduced with some frequency. The most popular are those in which the chief poses with his family (cartoon 30), and before the astonished members of his tribe as the artist paints his portrait (cartoon 191). A superior version of the former is in the Museum für Völkerkunde, Berlin, and the cartoon itself is based on a watercolor (pl. 2) in the Gilcrease Souvenir album. Another cartoon (133), which was taken from plate 62 in Letters and Notes, shows Catlin feasting in Four Bears' lodge, and a fourth (cartoon 194) illustrates the buffalo robe upon which the chief, who was also an artist, depicted his triumphs in battle.

We gave $100 out to any team willing to form and come up with an innovative way to impact and serve the local community. It became an awesome way for many people who have never served people to see the transforming love of Jesus at work.
We wanted to then carry this idea beyond our "borders" and several other churches and organizations have been inspired to do it as well.

I wonder who maintains this rusted but freshly painted donation box. And I wonder what kind of donations it attracts in this up-market garden at Mumbai Land's-End.
In any case, I found something attractive and something funny about it, so here it is for you.
Press "L" and drop a few coins please!
The author, Leslie Feinberg, is a lesbian ten years my senior whose physical appearance created a lifetime of harassment and secrecy because she looked like a man. I appreciated that she shares her story generously to make clear to the reader where she is on the gender spectrum as this is a topic that cannot be addressed remotely objectively by anybody, I’ve found. I also identified with her story especially since it was not her desire to be a man. She just wanted a place to be as the gender non-conforming female person she was. Published in 1996 it includes an appendix of resources and copious footnotes.
Her working class background demonstrated to her how gender and economics intersected as she could not get any conventionally female jobs because of her perceived presentation as a man so she hid her sex and applied for men’s jobs. She then met members of the communist party who took her under their wing and also interviewed her, each of them, one-on-one, to understand the nature of her oppression as a lesbian and gender outlaw. One of the men mentored her reading of their literature so that she would understand history. This led her to explore the history of cross dressing people prompted by a visit to the Native American Museum in New York where she saw the pictures of Two Spirit people. She also found and interviewed Two Spirit people herself which proved as affirming as the book she and I have both read depicting the shamanic role Two Spirit people were given to play in Native society.
Her research led her to discover that such shamanic roles appeared in all the Asian cultures too. I knew of indigenous transgender culture from living in Thailand, but did not know of their spiritual role. Her study of Joan of Arc led her to unearth the transgender spiritualist role of the pre-history earth based goddess religions of Europe. Joan of Arc was burned specifically because she refused to lose the male garb which she said God had instructed her to wear and which her peasant followers regarded as sacred. I’m totally hooked at this point.
As a well schooled Marxist the author then traced the oppression of the earth based religions and its transgender aspect to a change in the economic system from a communal based one to a surplus hoarding one controlled by the men because they were in charge of the animal herds and easily made themselves guardians of other surplus. They wanted this wealth shared only with other men and passed down to sons. This led to the need to identity people by gender and laws were written requiring men to cut their hair and women to wear theirs long as well as laws strictly forbidding cross dressing (except in the theatre). Reinforcing the idea that in order for capitalism to thrive both women and trans people must be controlled.
She also uncovered stories of rebellions led by cross dressing male peasants against toll roads demanding cash for crossing private lands. Lands made private as part of the enclosure of the commons. I love this vision filling in the gaps of my knowledge regarding response to the enclosure laws.
The modern gay and trans movements she traces back to Germany of 1897 and later to Paragraph 175 during the Nazi era before Stonewall birthed the U.S. rebellion in 1969 led by transgender people. Because of their visibility gender variants are a target in a way that passing gays are not, so it’s not surprising they were in the front lines.
Her final chapter parses out the intersection of women’s liberation and transgender liberation. Here she presents her case that women’s rights and safety are linked with trans people's rights and safety. Based on her research that both women and transgender people were at the peak of acceptance and social status during the matriarchal society of ancient times, I can see why she would argue this perspective and I appreciate that she has given me this common history.
She talks about how she feared for her life countless times because she was a woman who looked like a man thus the need for transgender persons to be able to pass as one sex or another for their physical safety and economic wellbeing. No one she interviews insists that they are biologically their chosen sex. She herself wishes to remain a woman who presents as a man. I admire this desire for transparency. It does not feel as arrogant or dishonest as the insistence that a trans woman or trans man is in every way no different from natal women and men. On the contrary her transgender cosmology is about having more than two genders. At least four or five and preferably a whole spectrum.
She touches on the right of transgender people to affordable hormones and to altering their body, but never once mentions gender dysphoria or even the concept of being in the wrong body. Part of the trans bill of rights (included at the end) states that a trans person should have the right to freedom from psychiatric diagnosis or treatment. The wrong body concept would also imply that there are only two genders—those linked to reproductive biological categories. She quotes the feminists on this—that biology is not destiny.
She prefers that sex identification be abolished altogether even on a birth certificate and suggests that it would be delightful if children let their parents know what gender they are. I think this is where adult trans people and non gender stereotypical adults are being retroactively idealistic in their desire to heal their own past. Children do not create society. Society creates structure in which children are raised and are offered their place in the world. She says herself how hard it was not to see representation of herself in the world or her place in history. Her push for change would direct the dismantling of the current binary system in favor of wider gender expression to provide role models for children to resonate with and choose from. I think we would all benefit from this. I know that I had a leg up because of the inclusion in the Thai language of a word for cross dressing people who lived their lives in this manner. And the Buddhist premise that the human spirit was certain to experience different genders in their various reincarnations and might carry the unresolved imprint of past gender experiences into the current life.
It is too bad that Leslie Feinberg died a decade ago because it would be helpful to have her perspective on how the emerging butch lesbian teens of today are being swept away by the online push to transition as a logical arc of their gender non-conforming status. (The increase in transitioning FtoM teens is so notable a phenomena that the U.K. is undergoing a study on this phenomena of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria as possibly being part of a social contagion. (And the detransitioning stories from these young women are increasing too.) She does mention the increase in consumer societies of gender coded clothing and toys where once there was just a white gown for all infants. Not to mention no marketing to children of gender based toys. Or pink handled tools for women. Grrr.
In the end Leslie Feinberg sticks to her Marxist teachings urging the women’s community and the LGBT community to see in their oppressions a common thread and stay together to preserve political power. I too long for a unifying political issue of any sort in this country, yet I have never before seen both the women’s community and the LGBT community so divided. Assimilationists have made the greatest gains in social acceptance with heteronormative inclusion under marriage equality. The assimilationist path helped normalize presentable gay and lesbian people and support and stabilize gay and lesbian nuclear families. While the rest have been atomized and compartmentalized under their corresponding letters now leaning into the term Queer. We have convinced the public that gay people look just like straight people while all the non-conforming gender expressions are eclipsed by the transition-centric, medicalized transgender category.
In showing the connection between patriarchy and capitalism and the oppression of both women and transgender people, this book illuminates for me a much bigger picture that our society is struggling with on all fronts. I believe the author’s thesis that the ethos of the ancient goddess communal societies were far more just in the treatment of everyone while women and transgender people enjoyed the highest status they have ever had. And that what we are seeing today is the society of a top down elite patriarchy many are attributing to a white supremacy agenda in the U.S. especially given recent efforts to completely control women’s reproductive choices. I would love to see a battalion of men dressed as women led by a female cross dressing chief come to overthrow the patriarchy. Though a shift in politics and voting patterns is hopefully more likely.
This book allowed me to see myself in the transgender struggle and to uncover the butch lesbian parts of me that I largely keep hidden. The book has photos throughout and concludes with a gallery of photos of trans people and their stories. This is very helpful for it helped me to understand the importance of creating visibility for gender outlaws both for the community and for busting out of the patriarchy. I am grateful to this book for offering the common history of a pre-patriarchal spirit based universe. It gives me some ground to stand on for this journey is far from over.
Trucks are generously painted across Pakistan and this one is no exception. Many of these trucks are now exported to World over by truck lovers. This art is unique to Pakistan and makes the otherwise drab landscapes of highways rather colorful.

Sunrise this morning on a golf course where I live.
My thoughts turned to the many mentors and role models we each have during our formative years. Like many young people who grew up in the latter part of the 20th century one of mine was Paul Newman. His generosity of spirit and contributions to the larger community appealed to me as did his determination to listen to the beat of his own drummer and act upon that cadence. As we mourn his passing we honor his character and exceptional accomplishments.
A final tribute is best left to his wife, Joanne Woodward, who said of him recently;
"Sexiness wears thin after awhile and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that's a real treat!"
May he rest in peace.

A medium-rotation dinner...
The Recipe...
Dice one white onion, some button mushrooms (washed!) and four rashers of trimmed bacon into generous pieces.
Put a pasta pot of water on the stove - hot - with some salt added. This should reach the boil at around the same time as the sauce is ready to simmer.
Pour some olive oil into a frying pan (deep-sided pans are better, if you have one), along with a crushed garlic, some oregano and basil.
Add in the onion and mushroom and fry until the mushroom has reduced in size and turned a nice shade of, well, mushroom. The onions should also be translucent.
Next, add the bacon pieces and continue cooking until the bacon has started to darken - but not too much: it shouldn't turn crispy!
Add in 3/4 of a tin of diced italian tomatoes (we use LaGina) and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. You can tell when to move on when the tomatoes are hot.
Add in 3/4 of a tub of tomato paste, along with ground black pepper and crushed rock salt to taste. You can also add in a dash of red wine or some chili powder depending on what strikes your fancy.
Turn down to a simmer and stir occasionally.
Add a thin spaghetti or angel-hair pasta to the boiling water and leave until cooked (takes about 4 minutes).
Strain the pasta and place into a bowl; add the sauce over the top, and finish with some more pepper, salt & parmesan cheese.
Match it with a nice shiraz or cabernet and you're done.
Cooking Time: approx 40mins from fridge to table.
Serves 2-3

I am grateful for people of compassion and generosity.
Gratitude Series - photo #39
Guanyin is the bodhisattva associated with compassion as venerated by East Asian Buddhists, usually as a female. The name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin which means "Observing the Sounds (or Cries) of the World".
. . . Among Chinese Buddhist schools that are non-devotional, Guanyin is still highly venerated. Instead of being seen as an active external force of unconditional love and salvation, the personage of Guanyin is highly revered as the principle of compassion, mercy and love. The act, thought and feeling of compassion and love is viewed as Guanyin. A merciful, compassionate, loving individual is said to be Guanyin. A meditative or contemplative state of being at peace with oneself and others is seen as Guanyin.
