Nærmere Deg, Min Gud

On the occasion of King Harald’s passing

In Lutheran memorial the traditional hymn does not treat death as defeat or a meritorious climb, but as the last stage of God’s gracious drawing. Its quiet, stepwise melody and repeated refrain make it especially suited to funerals: a humble prayer of trust rather than triumphant victory, ending in the hope of being “hjemme hos deg.”

Eggs, Bacon, Hash Browns, Toast & Coffee

Lunch

Menu

The classic American breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, and coffee follows a foodway that begins on farms and plantations, moves through regional processing industries, and arrives at the home kitchen, campus dining room, hotel, or neighborhood diner.

Eggs come from poultry farms; bacon begins with hog production and curing; hash browns originate with potato farms; toast begins as wheat grown, milled, baked, sliced, and toasted; and coffee follows the longest path, from tropical farms to American roasters and breakfast tables.

Together, these foods converge through griddling, frying, toasting, and brewing into a familiar morning meal. It reflects American agriculture, transportation, refrigeration, food preservation, and regional specialization—an enduring symbol of hospitality, comfort, and a hearty start to the day.

“Millworker” James Taylor

Boston Manufacturing Company: Payrolls list women workers (1817 to 1881)

“The Dressmaking Factory” 1914 | Charles Ginnar @TateFire Safety | Fashion

 

“Millworker” belongs to a later and subtler tradition of “labor music”. There is no strike, no marching line and scarcely a villain. Taylor locates the conflict inside the worker herself: her hands remain at the machine while her mind wanders backward through family, farm and memory.

The complaint is not simply that the work is hard. It is that a human life can disappear into work that asks too little of the human being.  Taylor tells us that millwork is not especially hard. That’s what separates this  song from so much earlier, angrier industrial laments. The injury is monotony, lost possibility and time for a ‘young girl who ought to stand a better chance’.

Wiener Melange

§

Wiener Melange is a classic Viennese coffee specialty originating in the 19th-century.  The traditional standard consists of a shot of espresso or strong black coffee (often Mokka) mixed with steamed milk in equal parts, topped with a generous dollop of frothy milk foam. Unlike a cappuccino, it skips cocoa dusting and emphasizes a velvety texture.

Sugar is optional, served on the side.  Frequently paired with Apfelstrudel and a glass of water.

The course gets hands-on and allows students the opportunity to create each product themselves…”
