SUMMARY:Family Heirloom Recipes from the Illinois State Fair with Catherine Lambrecht
DESCRIPTION:This event will count toward your Summer Reading Program! \nSince 2009\, Catherine Lambrecht has judged Family Heirloom Recipes contests on behalf of Greater Midwest Foodways in Illinois as well as Indiana\, Iowa\, Kansas\, Ohio\, Minnesota\, Missouri\, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Contestants would enter their best scratch family heirloom recipe suitable for a family or community dinner. The recipe should have originated 50 years ago or earlier. Contestants would bring to the fair a prepared dish along with a history of who passed the recipe down to them. \nThis presentation offers an opportunity to follow the judging experience by providing the histories and recipes presented as submitted at the Illinois State Fair (2009-2019) with pictures of the food as presented at the fair. The foods were sometimes submitted simply in their transport container\, or more elaborately on the family’s china with relevant props of family pictures\, kitchen paraphernalia and their loved one’s handwritten recipe. \nCatherine will highlight the wonderful stories she has collected over the years as an expert culinary judge. Some examples include: \n\nHow a contestant wanted a judge to settle a long-held family argument about which is better: green or white asparagus soup?\nA right of passage as young boy’s pet pig may be his breakfast\nDueling pasta salads from the church and community dinner circuit\nAn Italian-American family circling a cutting board mounded with polenta and meat sauce ready to dig in\nA family of mushroom collectors preserve their old country traditions\n\nIf Catherine inspires you to document a family favorite recipe to share with loved ones\, then she has accomplished her mission. \nAll recipes are provided as presented to preserve their historical integrity. Some of these recipes originated when oven temperatures were difficult to regulate\, or temperature was taken literally by hand: stick your hand in the oven chamber and count the seconds before your hand cannot tolerate it. \nThe original histories and recipes collected will be archived with the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center at the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archives in Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:NEA Big Read Book Discussion: Interior Chinatown
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the library on Thursday\, April 27 @ 5:30 pm to discuss this year’s NEA Big Read book\, Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu! A humorous and deeply personal novel about race\, pop culture\, immigration\, assimilation\, and escaping the roles we are forced to play. BOOKS AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! \nForever relegated to background roles on TV and in his everyday life\, Willis Wu wakes up to play Generic Asian Man\, leaving his tiny room in a Chinese SRO to go to the Golden Palace restaurant. There\, he plays a background character on a police procedural Black and White\, but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy\, the most respected role someone who looks like him could play—or so he thinks. After stumbling into the spotlight\, Willis finds himself launched into a wider world than he’s ever known\, discovering not only the secret history of Chinatown\, but the buried legacy of his own family. Infinitely inventive and deeply personal\, this story is an exploration of the themes of pop culture\, assimilation\, and immigration. \nThis is the 2023 NEA Big Read. The National Endowment for the Arts Big Read—a partnership with Arts Midwest—broadens our understanding of our world\, our neighbors\, and ourselves through the power of a shared reading experience. Showcasing a diverse range of themes\, voices\, and perspectives\, the NEA Big Read aims to inspire meaningful conversations\, artistic responses\, and new discoveries and connections in each community.

From years of imprisonment to helping troubled youth battle drug addictions\, from acting to producing\, and now on to restaurant ventures\, Trejo’s name\, face\, and achievements are well recognized in Hollywood and beyond\, but it is his continuous role as a devoted father of three and an intervention counselor that bring him the most satisfaction \nTrejo has starred in dozens of films including Desperado\, Heat\, the From Dusk Til Dawn series\, Con Air\, Once Upon a Time in Mexico\, Spy Kids\, and Machete. On the television side\, he’s had recurring roles on Sons of Anarchy\, King of the Hill\, Breaking Bad\, and The Flash\, among others.
