Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “1001 ‘Fritters’: Food in the Arabian Nights,” featuring Charles Perry, at Saturday, January 21, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library. As a collection of wonder tales being recited to hungry audiences in Middle Eastern bazaars, the Arabian Nights naturally included a number of references to foods. Translators have generally fudged their identity with guesswork — even though a number of medieval Arab cookbooks have been translated by now, several by Charles Perry. For instance, three totally unrelated sweets are usually translated as ‘fritters.’ Charles will lift the curtain on these mysterious treats. Charles Perry, grandson of a silent film screenwriter and great-grandson of Gold Rush pioneers, is an internationally known food writer. He is the president of Culinary Historians of Southern California, was a major contributor to The Oxford Companion to Food and served two terms as a trustee of the annual Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery. Perry is the author of numerous publications in the fields of food and the Sixties. The event is free and open to the public.

Balboa Park has been around for more than a hundred years. But the Balboa Park we know today began with the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. The park has had a rich history, and now it’s a charming destination for tourists and locals. Culturally and emotionally, Balboa Park is the heart of San Diego. During this anniversary year of the exposition, KPBS looks at the park's history, its treasures, and the challenges it faces.

From the museum: This body of new work by Eva Struble explores landscape altered by humans, and human infrastructure altered and adopted by plants: mutualism, or at turns, a collision. The dreamlike landscapes are rendered in strange hues, multiple textures and painting styles, remaking familiar landscapes into uncanny sites. The title, Midden, refers to a refuse heap, made by animals or humans. Rediscovered middens, like time capsules, can give clues about the habits or desires of a group. Struble takes inspiration from locations such as a theatre hidden in the woods of Topanga, CA, to the graffitied rainwater tunnels of Adobe Falls in San Diego, to oyster farms on the Olympic Peninsula, which the artist explored on foot over the past several years before creating this work. The exhibition can be viewed in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery and the Rotunda Gallery at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (1008 Wall Street, La Jolla, CA 92037) during open hours, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. About the artist: Eva Struble’s work has been shown at Wassaic Project in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Cleveland MOCA, Lombard Freid in New York, and Angles Gallery in Santa Monica, along with public projects at San Diego Airport, the New Children’s Museum, and the San Diego County Operations Center. Struble received a BA in visual arts from Brown University and an MFA from Yale University School of Art, and she is Professor of painting and printmaking at San Diego State University. Opening reception: An opening reception will be held from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 13, 2023.
