Fancy Pizza:
[yumprint-recipe id=’44’][yumprint-recipe id=’45’][yumprint-recipe id=’47’][yumprint-recipe id=’46’][yumprint-recipe id=’48’]A gluten free alternative pizza crust, made with cheese. I’ve never actually had anything like. It was not super crunchy like Chicago thin crust can be, but it had really good flavor. Here, you can substitute in your favorite pizza crust.

We begin our food adventures with a seriously fantastic juice Nora learned how to make while working in a cafe. Spinach! In juice! Try it now.
[yumprint-recipe id=’30’]Nora says she is making mufongo, which is apparently common, though I’d never eaten it. The recipe is simple: plaintains and seasoning. The seasoning might be what makes it special. Nora adds garlic and cilantro generously and often. “I add this to a lot of dishes. I’m from Puerto Rico, so my boyriend calls it making it Rico,” she explains.

Back in the kitchen, we munched on olives and cheese while being regaled with tales of giant hunks of parmesan cheese right of the wheel showing up in the mail on a regular basis so that Jessica would never run out of the family’s favorite cheese. It makes me wish my family had a favorite cheese to keep on hand. My family keeps me in supply of maple syrup, so I can’t complain.

Liz’s show Partitions was one of Comfort Station’s few winter shows this February. We saw it during this year’s 2nd Floor Rear festival. It’s kind of funny because I speak about Liz’s work during our Comfort Station Board interview. I didn’t know they were made by this Liz, and now we’ve been in her kitchen.
You should definitely give her Hippie Mash a try, or feel free to conjure up your very own. The recipe is easy to mix up to your own tastes.

We were very fortunate to be able to get an artist guided tour of Renee’s show Field Notes! Her brightly colored and energetic overlapping patterns are a feast for the eyes, food pun intended. Inspired by biological and marine organisms, the works in this show explore a fascination with both the familiar and unfamiliar. She says, “The abundance of sensory information in the work is like the external environment we often find ourselves in.” There is a beautiful stomatopod the likes of which we haven’t seen since The Oatmeal’s Mantis Shrimp comic.
Afterward, we travelled to Renee’s house about a block from Michael’s old apartment. He’s pretty sure they were neighbors for a little while. Most of Renee’s house is covered salon style with artwork, including the kitchen where she & her husband taught us how to make Pretzels and Beer Cheese. Beer Cheese! I can’t imagine making it this far never having consumed beer cheese.
After making these pretzels for numerous parties they have become a staple in their repertoire. Pretzels do take quite a while, but Renee and her husband Jim like to make a double batch. The last time they made them for a party, the pretzels disappeared immediately. I think it might have been the beer cheese.
