Polyhymnia Delivers

She promised us some intriguing recipes and she delivered last night.  Just in time for Christmas, she whipped up a lovely cranberry and balsamic vinegar salad dressing for a good old iceberg salad, just like in days of old.

Euterpe + Chromeo = good stuff

Paparazzi Update

Euterpe has been spotted near an old warehouse wearing a black trenchcoat. Wonder what's up?

MuseForce Can't Find a Muse

Here we are. Touting the nine muses, and the muses incognito.  Can we find a muse when we need one? Nope. The MuseForce is patient, however.  We will wait quietly until we find out where the muses are hiding.  Any paparzzi out there could contact us.  Even sensationalism is better than no muse news. Thumb-twiddling should not be an option for the MuseForce. 

Classic Endurance

Literary classics, like Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird endure because they tug at the basic human sympathies.  Because almost every human has suffered from some type of presumptions from others, it is imperative that we not only react to the plight of Tom, but also to that of Boo Radley.  Read it again, or for the first time.  It's a good holiday gift to give yourself, and if you hate to read, watch the movie with Gregory Peck. 

Poyhymnia Adds to Her Repertoire--and Ours

Since there is no muse assigned to cooking, we select Polyhymnia to oversee the rash of aspiring chefs that are chopping and getting chopped, wearing armor made of iron, and fighting to make it to the top. 

We find that Polyhymnia is the most appropriate one to inspire because, like cooking, she urges a combination of arts that appeal to several senses. 

Polyhymnia has agreed to share the best products of some of her proteges from time to time.  Look for recipes and experiences from her kitchen classroom soon.

She was highly instrumental in the Gumbo fest at Grand Isle a while back and found a new art to nurture.

Muse or Genius?

We have been reading definitions of "genius." Is it the muse who makes the genius, or is it the absence of a muse that makes a genius?  Think about it.  Should a genius (by a standard definition) require a muse?  Does having a muse negate the presence of genius? 

Wishing not to raise concern and/or controversy (but of course we will), the MuseForce presents these provocative questions.
