Annual Pancake Breakfast

Tables all set for pancake breakfast

Columbia Land Conservancy held their annual member and volunteer Pancake Breakfast in Triform's beautiful Phoenix Center on a bright but frigid Saturday morning. We have had a good experience welcoming CLC to use the Phoenix Center as a venue for their annual celebration before, and were glad to host this lovely event again.

More than 200 people were in attendance to share in the delicious pancakes, sausage and ham and to hear Triform's Bell Choir perform. The scent of coffee drew people into the friendly atmosphere of the Phoenix Center, where music and chatter filled the air. As it was close to St. Patrick's Day, the Bell Choir played a celtic song and a welcome Spring melody. It was very charming to see Akiko's (the Bell Choir conductor) two children (Yoshiya and Ayaka) playing cello and bells respectively, and to see new student Molly, and proud day student Brandon, debut in the choir. In the foyer, Triform marketplace sold craft items and we were able to forge new relationships with people who had never been to Triform before.

Baking in Triform: Love in the batter

Baking in Triform: Love in the batter by Meg Henderson Holly and Jamie I have a large collection of cookbooks, some I turn to more often than others. They are usually seasonally inspired with fresh organic produce as the staple ingredient. I am actually lulled to sleep often by looking at glossy photos of “ Classic Irish Cabbage and Bacon soup” or “ Roast Lamb with Lemons and Rosemary.” I wonder if this makes me a little odd. I am thrilled to discover when travelling a ‘Whole Foods' market or a ‘Trader Joes', and remember as a student in sub -tropical South Africa taking a bus on Fridays to the Indian markets in the city center to buy fresh curry leaves and coriander for dhal; a marvelously economical dish, lasting several days. However, I digress. I am inspired by the pictures of steaming pasta with pesto and can smell summer in basil’s almost acrid green smell. Most summers I take my turn with other Triform coworkers, with my kids and students to pr...
