We sat together, in a circle, and calmed ourselves so we could listen. Those not directly involved in the conflict sat in the circle and listened supportively, and the two used skills to hear each other and try to understand.
By openly and precisely naming dynamics of power, while caring about one another, they got to undermine a divide and conquer strategy of our current social order: the one that teaches poor white kids to blame kids of colour instead of banding together to see the discrete pressures in a system affecting them both. By understanding together the specific kinds of erasure and silencing Black women and girls face, the group becomes stronger and more able to perceive harm and hence, protect against it.
We need to hold one another in these frightening times. We need to know how to roll with conflict and hold one another in safety, in this individualist culture, so we can take the risks that we are called upon to take.
I saw Maestro over the weekend. I went in with below-the-floor expectations \u2014 not because of \u201CNosegate\u201D, that was overblown anyway \u2014 but because I accept that biopics play fast and loose with the truth, sometimes with jarring consequences. So I was pleasantly surprised that Bradley Cooper\u2019s portrayal of Leonard Bernstein, and particularly Carey Mulligan\u2019s of Felecia Montealegre, felt \u201Ctrue\u201D emotionally, even if the film itself didn\u2019t quite hold together. I know this because if I spend the movie\u2019s runtime nitpicking storytelling choices and timing how long certain shots are, it\u2019s not really working for me.
A Mexican divorce came through in March 1957. Oppenheim turned around and married Stella Adler\u2019s daughter, Ellen. Holliday soon took up with the jazz musician Gerry Mulligan \u2014 another clarinetist \u2014 and it says so much that the one album they worked on together wouldn\u2019t be released until years after her death.
I like meatloaf, but mine never hold together and just aren't firm enough. I just tried Pioneer Woman's recipe from her new cookbook - just checking out SIL's Christmas present before I give it to her!! :lol:
Anyway, 4 eggs seemed way too much - the meatloaf was really runny putting it together, and it didn't hold together well. I also thought it didn't get done enough. So, all you meatloaf experts, what am doing wrong? :confused: What is the tried and true meatloaf secret?
I make mine with 1 lb meat, 2 C oatmeal, 1 egg, some chopped onion, and a cup of ketchup and salsa mixed together in whatever ratio is available at the time ;). Bake at 350 for an hour. I never have to drain, and it never falls apart. :)
After you have your recipe mixed up, with clean hands and countertop, pick up that ball of meat, pat it around into a manageable ball, raise it up a foot or so, and slap it down onto the countertop. Pick it up, fold it as though kneading dough, and slap it down again. Do this over and over. You will see the texture come together, and the ball will become more coherent. When it feels right, or when you've had enough slapping, shape it and put it in the loaf pan.
This phrase stands out to me just because it is so beautiful. In my mind, it invokes the image of a web connecting all things in the universe with Christ at its center. It brings on a sensation of security in the knowledge that, out of this apparently disordered and chaotic world, Christ can bring order and peace, making everything hang together and all the puzzle pieces fit.
But then I pause: does He make everything hold together? As if the different components of the world, like magnets of the same pole, naturally want to fly apart, held together only by some pressure exerted by Christ?
In leaving all the work to Christ in this way, we make a mistake that becomes evident if you look at these six words from the first chapter of Colossians. It does not say that in Him all things will hold together, but that they already do. The discordance and chaos that we see in the world around us are not problems that will be solved by Christ at some future date. Apparently, they have already been solved by Him. How can this be? That claim seems blatantly at odds with the messy world we see around us. Is there a way to reconcile this verse, which asserts that all things are currently being held together in Christ, with our perception of the fractured world?
I pray that this Advent season, we are able to enter at least a little into Christ and see the world as He does, so that we might see that all humankind is one, and that everything in this world truly does hold together in peace and harmony. Amen.
PInk Pearl is holding its annual Together 5K Walk or Run, to be done any time between September 10 and 17 in any neighbourhood, and following that up with the return of their Family Support Day in NOTL next Saturday.
Her family banded together to show their support, organizing a benefit for Elise and other young female cancer patients. The benefit turned into an annual event, and after seven years they took the step of organizing and formalizing Pink Pearl Canada as a foundation.
1. Grab your food processor and pulse the flour with the sugar and salt a few times to combine. Add the diced putter and pulse a few more times until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add ice water and pulse a couple of more times until the mixture begins to hold together in large clumps, then dump onto a floured surface and pat the dough together into a disc (about 4 inches in diameter). Wrap in plastic and toss into the fridge for 30 minutes, or up to a few days if you like.
