“Evita” is the musical story of Argentina’s controversial First Lady, Eva Peron.  Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she is a starlet at 22, the president’s mistress at 24, the First Lady at 27, and dead at 33.  Saint to the working class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military, Eva was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century.  Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop, and jazz influences, EVITA creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.

James Hunter at SOS

James Hunter is an R & B artist from England. His music sounds like old fifties and sixties music. Two of his songs (Carina and You Can't Win) were listed on the DJ's Top 50 most requested beach songs. I really enjoyed listening to his music during SOS Spring Migration this year.

Lovely Lupine Garden

Lupines, Lupines, Lupines!

What would become of the garden if the gardener treated all the weeds

and slugs and birds and trespassers as he would like to be treated?

- T. E. Huxley

These are pictures of my lovely lupine garden.  I'm just wild for these magnificent North American natives. My Mother planted the purple lupines several years ago. I added the other plants last summer and to my surprise some of them are yellow. Several people have asked I save them the seeds from the yellow lupines. I am planning to harvest the seeds this year instead of buying more plants. If interested in learning how to save Lupine seeds, click on the link below:

Lattice-Top Strawberry Pie

Lattice-Top Strawberry Pie

I made this pie three times this spring using fresh strawberries. Been a long time since I made a pie crust from scratch but worth the effort.


The crust:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus some for dusting the board
• 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces
• 6 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
• About 6 tablespoons ice water
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

The filling:

• 3 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Preparation

1. To make the crust, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons of the sugar and the salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening and rub into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually and gently stir in just enough water to make it come together. Gently press the dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes.
2. To make the filling, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together the strawberries, sugar and flour. Set aside.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Fit the dough in the pie plate and spoon in the filling. Scatter the butter evenly over the top. Roll out the remaining dough, cut it into 1/2-inch strips and weave a lattice top over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges. Brush the egg over the crust and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Continue baking until the crust is nicely browned, about 30 minutes. 
4. Place on a rack to cool. Cut into wedges and serve.
