Shout Out! And Bake Off!


Shout Out! And Bake Off!  


CASA and the Writing Studio will host a Shout Out and Bake Off, on Wednesday, September 25th, from 11 to 2.

What’s a Shout Out? It is a social event where writers get together and read their work. It is a supportive and positive environment where you can find out what other writers in our community are working on. Pieces need not be polished or finished – they do need to be shared and valued.
Please share some of the story (or academic essay) that you are currently working on with our community.

Bake Off Contest!  


Join our Bake Off and bring a homemade treat for judging (such as a pie, cake, or a dozen cookies). Best baked item wins a copy of Sun, Stone, and Shadows. Your recipe must accompany your dish and it needs to include why the dish is special to you so that we can share in your food culture and heritage.
Please drop off your submission before 10:30 am.
The winner will be the baker who receives the most votes. All recipes will be included in our first CASA/Writing Studio cook book compilation.

Food Traditions: Past, Present & Future


FOOD TRADITIONS: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
with Ky Quintanilla (Exec. Chef, Lambert's), Bonnie Lee Black (Author),  Hosea Rosenberg (Blackbelly Catering, Winner of Top Chef)  


WEDNESDAYS -   SEPT 4 - OCT 9 - AT THE TCA 

Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013, 6:30pm:  

Thanks to collaboration between UNM-Taos and SMU in Taos, we have enriched our community with an engaging and informative yearly lecture series. The goal of the UNM-Taos and SMU in Taos Fall Lecture Series is to have those in attendance gain a deeper appreciation of Taos – its unique history, culture, agriculture, arts, mythos and terrain- and to help strengthen our community bonds, while stimulating dialogue and reflection among faculty, students and the wider community based on the lecture topics selected for each years programming.

The fifth annual SMU in Taos/UNM-Taos Fall Lecture Series, running from September 4th through October 9th this year, is organized around the theme of Things We Consume.By forming an ongoing partnership with the Taos Community, we will be able to further a dialogue on how we can best sustain our communities and preserve the rich cultural heritage of northern New Mexico in the face of an uncertain, challenging, and even promising, future.

By forming an ongoing partnership, the two major institutions of higher education in Northern New Mexico (UNM-Taos and SMU in Taos) will further a dialogue on the nature of the consumption of Land, Water, Art, Culture, Ideas and Food. The lecture topics will include the following themes (in no particular order) over six consecutive Wednesday nights: Land and Water; Wellness and Spirituality; Cultural Narratives; Food Traditions; Popular Culture; and, Art and Its Uses.

This year’s list of speakers includes a number of local and nationally known speakers: Patricia Michaels (Project Runway), Chef Hosea Rosenberg(winner of Top Chef), Matt Pennington (Producer - ABC's Wipeout, Fear Factor, the CW's Capture); Jonathan Warm-Day Coming (Artist/Author); Estevan Arellano, (Writer, Historian, Agriculturalist); Jeremy McDonnell (Fine Arts Professor, UNM-Taos); Victor Goler (Sculptor, Conservator); Jina Brenneman(Curator, Harwood Museum); Jerry Warman (Hulse/Warman Gallery); Ron Gardner (Water Usage Expert); Shirley Trujillo(Taos Pueblo Agriculturalist); Irvin Morris (Author); Sean Murphy (Author/Meditation Instructor); Bernestine Singley(Author/Consultant); Bonnie Lee Black (Author/Chef); Ky Quintanilla (Executive Chef, Lambert’s) - among others.

Note that the Lecture Series topic for this year’s lectures are especially relevant for high school and university students because their lives will be directly influenced by the challenges of building a sustainable society and assessing the resources that we consume. Many educators will be offering extra-credit for attendance – and students who attend all lectures will be entered into a drawing for a prize.

We are hoping that you will consider attendance of this valuable community programming which is offered at no cost to the public! Please feel free to contact me atmoya@unm.edu or via phone at (575) 737-3737, if you have any questions about the lecture series. Please visit our website atwww.taoslecture.com for more information about the past programs and to see an example of the one of the lectures that was broadcast on our local channel 22 (http://youtu.be/29lbUeblLvw).
