The exhibition is divided into several groups which present the fallowing themes: “Symbolic Designs,” “Ukrainian Folk Ways,” “Seasonal Cycle,” “Life Cycle and Rites of Passage,” and “Folktales.” Through these categories the young Ukrainian artists expressed their understanding and interpretation of their native tradi tions and folk art. Overall, the exhibition offers a very pleasant and happy experience. Employing a color theme of red and yellow in supporting stands, labels and signs, the exhi bition projects a carefree feeling reminiscent of child hood days, of lollipops and pretty balloons. It also brings a sense of wonder and admiration for the works of the participating young artists. The untrained childish hand on paper is at first evident, but quickly one is drawn to the sophistication of perception of the theme, to the budding talent evident in the composition, in the color applications, in the individual techniques of draw ing and painting. Chrystyna Pevny and Lydia Hajduczok of The Ukrainian Museum were responsible for the presenta tion of the “Old Traditions, Young Visions” exhibition at the Museum. The exhibition will be on view through November. Just recently I was on the verge of committing culinary suicide. Another day loomed on the horizon and I didn’t know what to make for dinner. The irony of it is that I was in a well-stocked supermarket and for the moment completely lost and bewildered. My despair quickly found a kindred spirit when the woman next to me said in a terribly sad voice, ”1 give up, I just don’t know what to cook anymore.” Well, to make a long story short, we tossed a few sentences back and forth over a large display of pork chops, the sale item of the week. She, it seems, had been a homemaker for fifty years. Can you imagine how many dinners, not to mention breakfasts, lunches and all kinds of in-between snacks she had prepared? Surely one more could be pulled from the vast stockpile of her cooking repertoire! So why was this woman in a no-cooking limbo? She really wasn’t. Neither was I. We were just making supermarket contact. One homemaker to another. Bonding. When you are the one in the family in charge of preparing meals, some idea for another dinner is always within reach. She took the pork chops, I chose chicken thighs. We met again at the fruit section picking Granny Smiths for apple pies. I’d like to share a fine recipe with you so that you will not be at a loss, wondering what to make for dessert after you decide what to make for dinner.
