Ralph Latham: Environment as Art

By Dee Dwyer On a lovely July afternoon, I sit on the porch of the house of the artist and printmaker, Ralph Latham. With us is Ralph’s soon-to-be seven-year old daughter, Violet, swinging on a hammock, making comments as she listens to the conversation. We are surrounded by trees, and not far away is Ralph’s sawmill, and a steam engine that was shipped from India. Ralph is thankful for the woodland setting because he is inspired by his family history, family artifacts, the woods around him, and the environment.

Roast Chicken With Lemon and Butter

This recipe is adapted from an Anthony Bourdain recipe – Serves 4 “Everyone should know how to roast a chicken. It's a life skill that should be taught to small children at school. The ability to properly prepare a moist yet thoroughly cooked bird, with nicely crisp skin, should be a hallmark of good citizenry—an obligation to your fellow man. Everyone walking down the street should be reasonably confident that the random person next to them is prepared, if called upon, to roast a chicken.” ~Anthony Bourdain
