Dear readers,

Are you interested in the kinds of questions I am interested in?

Right now, I am interested in the question of how we develop our sense of taste or style.

It’s not a trivial question.  Our aesthetic speaks to our ancestry. I have seen photos of the grandparents of contemporaries when they were young people, often in an Old Country style of dress for a visit to the local photography studio. Try to deny it as we might, aside from Native Americans and some French and Dutch families with deep roots—we are a nation of immigrants.  Yes the English and German came before the Irish and Italians but in the west, Mexicans were here first, right after the Original People.

My husband Barry Skeist’s grandmother Bella, wife of Sam from Lithuania

I am a fan of history museums (logical, as I write historical fiction.)

Perhaps our aesthetic develops from a period of history we are drawn to.  I just spent thirty years of my life researching and writing fiction about 19^th century changes in people living in this part of the world.   Maybe aesthetics and even values are  just a throw of the dice, like so many others aspects of our identity as individuals.

 When I was seven years old, my parents moved from Buffalo to Erie, with a little detour along the way.  After WWII (Murl Kinal , Patton’s Third Army, Captain 104^thEvacuation Hospital,) my father took a post-doc in neurosurgery in London. We lived outside the city, in Teddington, Middlesex where Hampton Court Palace sits, surrounded by a famous maze garden in Bushy Park.  I learned to read at 5 and almost died from scarlet fever.  My younger brother Brian, whose crib sat in the trunk room adjoining my bedroom, had mumps, measles and whooping cough all at once.  Those childhood diseases are largely over; mothers had to draw from their deepest resources to pull their children through.

 In Erie, we lived a block from Perry Square on Sixth Street, where the wealthy manufacturers of Erie had built their mansions a century earlier. Hot summer nights at the fountain at Perry Square, Black children from the neighborhood were allowed to swim, the technicolored lights playing over their bodies.  (Was I already thinking of privilege in a different way then?)  Earlier, in Buffalo we had lived in a post-War brick complex in walking distance from the Buffalo Zoo and that city’s Emerald Necklace designed by Olmstead, the architect of New York’s Central Park and the city’s mansion neighborhoods with their sterling museums built in those choice environs.

 Why am I telling you this, now?

 Am I leading you into a similar exploration of how your unique life developed, creating an aesthetic or preference for say, mid twentieth century furniture? (btw, very collectible now)?  Fortunate  if your partner has the same taste. 

 We hadn’t been in Erie long before we began hearing about a small group of entrepreneurs buying up and storing architectural treasures when the mansions on Sixth Street started coming down.  

Which came first?  Our parents buying 120 acres outside of Findley Lake or news of a new ski area at Peek’n Peak, one that would reinforce and celebrate Lake Erie elegance.  Boozell, Babcock, Cafflish, Gravink:  names of giants with both vision, muscle and taste.

 Was their vison also inspired both by ancestry and time spent in the capital of Europe during WWII? Only the finest craftsmen in the region would be employed: stonework, leaded glass Tudor windows. The Reid rooms (of teak or ebony?) were transported from mansions in Europe and  reassembled piece by piece  in French Creek, in dining rooms built to their dimensions. The visionaries in this founding group travelled to Europe explicitly to make sketches and take photos and brought them home to be built into plans.

 There’s two stories of the Peak: one of the Group of Seven going over-budget in building the hotel and being saved by Norbert Cross.  That story will be written someday with its many chapters but not here in a column in the Tapestry. The other story is the vision itself which made the Peak into an expression of our collective pride in our heritage.

The mid-70’s was the beginning of a boomtime for ski areas, Brad Gravink recalled, his own father being in the founding group of several in New Hampshire.  My husband and I moved from San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury to Aspen Colorado in 1970 with two small daughters.

 Wintery mountainous areas carry similar cultural norms across the planet.  Transhumance, one of them, means the seasonal movement of livestock between mountain and lowland pastures under the care of herders or owners.  Every spring and again each fall, herds of sheep would be moved through Aspen’s main streets by Basque herders from the Pyrenees between France and Spain.

In the mid-1980’s, Liz O’Dell recalls her family’s cows moving across the street twice a day to some greenery that is part of the Peak now but also part of a grazing migration.

Again: why am I telling you this, now?  Who among you, dear readers, is still following along to see where my story is meandering?

Liz O’Dell, now the co-founder of The Compass, our local bar and grille in the old Abbey headquarters and celebrating their first anniversary, called the Peak a “diamond in the rough” when she first started working there in the mid-90’s. Had the standard been set by the Cambridge Springs Inn a short drive away? From the polished silverware to the starched linen tablecloths and napkins, staff dressed in black and white with pristine aprons, Liz and her cadre of local teens felt a great sense of pride, as did we who drove in to dine or ski.  Peek’n Peak is set in a rich agricultural heritage of dairy farms; its north-easterly face and legendary powder snow give it the luster of a pearl.

This is the point at which my story disappeared last week when I was sending it off to Brad Gravink and Liz O’Dell for their corrections before we took it to press.  I had my computer consultants come in first thing next morning to see if they could find it but not a trace remained.  Luckily I write my first draft longhand on legal pads as many of my writing peers do, before I take my second draft onto the computer. 

But where was I taking this story before an Act of God removed it? (Wikipedia: Act of God is a legal term meaning “an event outside of human control…like extreme weather.”)  You remember being under the heat dome or whatever they called it, that week of high humidity and higher temperatures?  I’d rather forget it!

With 1000 words left before I reach my self-imposed word count, I could take it several places.  The weather, for instance.  How savvy for instance for the founders of the Peak to take the Peak toward solid footing as a four season resort!  I think few would put their money down on whether we will enjoy the bounty of powder snow again. But the upper gold course at the Peak ranks with the most beautiful courses I have seen in person. (Tilden Parks course above Berkeley CA sits high up there in golf course beauty pageant, again in my estimation.)

Our dear region, where two watersheds take off--one to the north , into the Great Lakes and out to the Atlantic, the other south into French Creek, the Allegheny River, the Ohio and the Mississippi-- has produced the kinds of deep powder snow that have buried both our local ski mountains and more famously, Buffalo New York, in weather events that have seemed like both curse and blessing.

But weather?  Climate?. Too much of a political hot potato?

Our County probably accurately reflects the socio-demographics of the United States, poised as we are here on the eve of a highly contentious presidential election.  What a golden opportunity to discuss our differences!

A process I stumbled across suggests Living Room Conversations in which 4-6 people, family or neighbors, come together to discuss rich but difficult veins of differences.  Simple ground rules set the limits. When these ground rules can’t be kept, the conversation is over for the night:

• Always speak with respect and in even tones.
• See if you can genuinely open your mind to consider the other point-of-view.
• Perhaps a pitcher of ice water and glasses to sit in the middle of the table.
• Needless to add: no violence in language or gestures.

Game?

The other place I was taking the column was in the direction of the relationship between dairy and mountainous wintery areas.

Many areas produce good cheeses, yogurt or ice cream.  Do we know where those milk trucks take our milk?  When we lived over on the Susquehanna River three hours to the east, also on the NY/PA border, a large mozzarella factory belched out every smell the human body is capable of.  One hundred miles on I-86 to our east, we have Cuba cheese.  Our grocery store in Waverly NY carried the best cottage cheese in bulk, reportedly from Meadowbrook Farms in Erie.   The butcher would scoop it into pint and quart containers.  Where could I find it here? The Finger Lakes have a smattering of goat cheese operations.  Did we ever have a domestic cheese industry?

 Our youngest brother Sean is known in our family for bringing his fondue pot with its small built-in alcohol burner like Sterno to locales with extreme weather potential like a ski mountain or Barcelona Beach.  He claims that his most reliable source is a boxed fondue with four added essentials: a good white wine, butter, garlic and nutmeg.  The fondue set (check your thrift store) provides long forks to reach your square of toast into the pot of fondue while others are doing the same thing.

His oldest son Ryan and his wife Nora Kaminski just returned from Switzerland after attending a fondue workshop. (I’m hitting “save”  at 7000 words just in case of another Act of God.)

Here is their recipe:

This is a recipe for a fondue you can make at home (a portion for 2 people as a whole dinner):

- fry sliced garlic without oil! (1-2 large cloves, depending on how much you like it)

- 250g grated Gruyere (max 50% of total)

- 200g grated Fribourgeois or Appenzeller or both 100g each

- 50g grated Emmentaler to compensate for the saltiness (max 10% of total)

- around 80ml white wine Chasselas or Fendant (white dry wine), you can use Pino Grigio Chardonnay the best

~ Non-alcoholic option with apple juice without sugar.

Spices: nutmeg, black pepper 

If you wonder where to buy cheese in USA that is the shop which has very good quality swiss cheeses: https://www.murrayscheese.com

Bon Appetit 

Destiny will be writing a column for The Tapestry. Destiny lives part of the year on her famly homestead outside of Findley Lake and the other part in the San Francisco Bay area. Her most recent work The Textile Trilogy of novels tells the true story of how our suffragist foremothers were influenced by their Seneca and Haudenosaunee neighbors, a matrilineal way-of-life where men and women have always shared power.
