Artists/Painter's
Studios
Our work spaces inspire us all to do our best art or to even work on our art at all. Every creative person needs a room, a corner, a desk, a private space or an alternative place to go, to let the muses take over. Creative people need a place to think, to keep clean or mess-up, a place to experiment, paint, draw, design, dance, write, act, sing, play music, etc. - a "space-of-our-own" to practice our craft. These spaces/studios/writer's sanctuaries end up playing an integral part in the creation of art.

FOOD:
Pan Seared Cod
with Trinity Sauce
Pan-searing uses high heat to seal in juices by forming a delicious crust. The key to pan-searing is making sure the pan is hot enough. To test a pan for readiness, sprinkle a drop of water onto the pan; the water should sizzle or jump around. Remove the pan from the heat, and add a small amount of butter and/or oil to lightly coat the surface. The butter or oil should be heated, but do not allow to burn. Add the fish to be pan-seared; do not move it until a crust has formed. Using a spatula, carefully turn the food.
We made this dish last night, it was delightful.
