Coronado Art Association

Celebrates 75 Years

The Coronado Art Association (CAA) has been sprinkling its brand of art in Coronado since April 7th, 1947. Yes, we are celebrating 75 years of local artistic talent this year! In ’47 an ambitious band of local artists began with gallery spaces in various locations throughout town, eventually showing and selling their art in Spreckels Park in 1959. It was a huge success and continues to this very day! Look for us the first and third Sundays of each month for an opportunity to experience and purchase beautiful fine art and fine crafts, and to meet the artists in person. My goal as their newest president has been to get us going again over the past year and to increase the number of artists actively displaying by two-fold, in addition to increasing gallery shows for our members. Now I’m working on a couple of new pop up ventures in town. Keep an eye out for us! Lastly, my team is partnering up with Coronado’s Dine & Dance social club for the return of the famous “Arts Ball” this October. It was started by CAA years ago as an annual tradition. The ball will be the event of the season and you will not want to miss it! As artists committed to our community, we are also a giving organization. Registered as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, five percent of artist sales from our events are reinvested in the community towards other not-forprofit organizations that support the arts, and through a scholarship awarded annually to a Coronado High School student. Mark your calendars for our Story Book Show on May 13th at the Coronado Library from 6-7:30 pm. Check out the details elsewhere in this magazine for a sneak peek at all the

activities planned for this fun opening of local artwork at the library. We welcome new artists! To apply to jury in, please check out our beautiful new website at CoronadoArtAssn.com. There is plenty to look at while you are there, from bios of your favorite artists to pictures of their works. My sincere thank you to Crown City Magazine for helping me get the word out about this wonderful Coronado institution known to the locals as “Art in the Park”!

FOCUS! Impactful Caring & Giving

There’s No Place Like Coronado By Angela Culbertson

here was a time in our Coronado history where during summer vacations, L. Frank Baum, the author of numerous storybooks on the Land of Oz, would read his stories aloud to children outside the Hotel del Coronado. His iconic stories were wonderful reminders for children to keep their dreams alive. Who can forget the cinematic image of Judy Garland’s Dorothy, whose overarching desire was to return home? After missing the balloon ride home to Kansas and still in the Land of Oz, Dorothy fell under the gentle spell of Glenda the Good Witch. Glenda waved her magic wand over Dorothy’s head, sweetly instructing Dorothy (who was still wearing the Ruby Red Slippers) to tap her heels

together, close her eyes and think to herself, “There’s No Place Like Home, There’s No Place Like Home, There’s No Place Like Home.” Well, it’s 2022 and so much has been upended and displaced in our world. For those who want to see a better place for our children, it can feel like we have taken many steps backwards. Since the pandemic alone, the rise of homelessness saw an uptick. Amidst those numbers are children who, unlike Dorothy, have no place to call home. The numbers in San Diego County alone are staggering. If only there was a magic wand that could be waved above their heads to bring an end to the suffering of all children everywhere. We may not have the magic wand, but we do have FOCUS the Friends of Children United Society. FOCUS raises funds for charitable purposes for the comfort and betterment of battered, abused, homeless, disabled, disadvantaged, military and foster children within San Diego County. Over the course of the past four decades, FOCUS has assisted over 100,000 children in need through 100+ aid agencies. This April, the organization is hosting the FOCUS 40th Anniversary RUBY GALA to celebrate 40 years of community engagement and support for San Diego children dealing with difficult circumstances. The founding of FOCUS in Coronado by Rosemary Pettit was inspired by WAIF, a national organization that facilitated over 35,000 adoptions over the course of its history thanks to the undaunted efforts of actress Jane Russell. Ms. Russell created WAIF as a proactive response to the adoption complications she personally experienced while trying to adopt a child from overseas. Ms. Russell championed the passage of the Federal Orphan Adoption Amendment of 1953, which allowed, for the first time, children of American servicemen born overseas to be placed for adoption in the United States. Testifying before Congress in 1981, she spoke regarding the challenge to the newly enacted Adoption Assistance Act: “Do away with (the law) and we're right back where we started: warehousing kids as if they were spare tires... maybe losing them altogether when their records get stuffed in the wrong

file.” Coronado resident Rosemary Pettit, after meeting Ms. Russell, was inspired by the work that Ms. Russell was doing through WAIF. Not long after Ms. Russell’s testimony took place, Ms. Pettit engaged members of the Coronado community and immediately set out to create a local organization that would endeavor to assist needy children and families across San Diego County, which eventually came to be known as FOCUS. Recently, the pandemic challenged the organization to find creative ways to assist many children who were facing hunger and much worse. FOCUS, still based in Coronado, is 120 members strong and has made significant strides in assisting other organizations with gap funding for much needed purchases. This means they help agencies purchase needed items from meals to cargo vans. Over the past few years, the organization has embarked upon an organizational reassessment. It began with the idea to update their website. To do this, the all-volunteer organization delved further into their giving parameters to assess their strengths to align consideration more adequately and realistically to the needs of agencies they have supported. Not only did the organization develop a new website, but through that project members became more dedicated to grow the organization with renewed purpose and vitality to expand its trajectory of supporting children’s service agencies in San Diego County. In 2022, they added a new category

of support to include corporate sponsorship. Also, to acknowledge the efforts of their first 40 years, members decided to award a special grant up to $40,000 of purchasing power to a San Diego organization that provides direct support to children in San Diego County. As one listens to current President Pat Robitaille discuss the overwhelming number of applications for this year’s special grant, she felt compelled to tell me the very first one the selection committee reviewed brought tears to the eyes of the committee members.

is Sunday, May 15th from 5:00-10:00 p.m. at the Community Center. In further listening to Ms. Robitaille, it is also noticeable that the organization is grateful and proud of its newest members who are poised to make 2022 a banner year. Her enthusiasm for the FOCUS mission is palpable as she is eager to see new members engage with the organization. She feels this will only serve to add more value to our region. She is a powerful voice who is committed to growing and serving the vision of FOCUS to aid as many children as possible in San Diego County. The FOCUS 40th Anniversary RUBY GALA is an event that you will not want to miss. It’s not quite ruby slippers and there’s no story hour at the Hotel Del, but it's something better that directly supports the children of

San Diego. On Sunday, May 15th is the FOCUS 40th Anniversary RUBY GALA will take place from 5:00-10:00 p.m. at the Coronado Community Center. On that evening, FOCUS will award a significant, onetime $40,000 purchase grant to a deserving organization. Your support of any of their worthwhile events goes directly to their mission. If you have a heart for keeping alive the dreams of so many vulnerable children, please attend. You can also visit their website, focus sdkids.org to sign up and volunteer. Become a member and join other Coronado community members who make a difference in the lives of children through FOCUS.

A Gem in the Crown The Historic Requa Estate is for Sale Story by Samantha Bey Photos Courtesy of the Clements Group

CROWN CITY MAGAZINE

M AY 22002222

t was 1925 and highly acclaimed architect Richard Requa had just completed a Coronado masterpiece, arguably unlike any on the island at the time, and perhaps still today. The Mission Revival, "castle-like" residence at 1127 F Avenue sits on one of the island's largest lots at over 25,000 square feet. The estate covers a combined

three parcels and spans almost an entire city block only 100 feet from the sparkling shore. Requa built the house for Michigan furniture manufacturer W.A. Gunn for $56,558 — a price well over 10 times more than the cost of an average Coronado home at the time. Today, the residence, deemed by some as the "Coronado castle," is on the market for $39M. Several of Coronado's most celebrated historic homes were built by Requa. He and his family moved to San Diego in 1900; in 1908, he joined the staff of fellow Coronado architecture icon Irving J. Gill as superintendent for a few years before establishing his own firm. Then, in 1920, he entered what proved to be his most prolific period when he partnered with Herbert L. Jackson and landscape architect Milton P. Sessions (the nephew of San Diego's 22

CROWN CITY MAGAZINE

M AY 2 0 2 2

pioneer horticulturist, Kate Sessions), with whom he built the magnificent Gunn home. Requa was inspired by the terrain and climate of Southern California and their similarity to those of the Andalusian area of Spain, and it was during the 1920s that he developed his hallmark style, which he deemed "Southern California Architecture." Because of his Coronado clientele's wealth at the time, the homes he built here stand as examples of how grandiose his architecture could be. A bookmark in Coronado’s storied history, 1127 F Avenue is indeed replete with many castle-like characteristics and is adorned floor-to-ceiling with vintage hollywood glamor and state-of-the-art amenities. A four-year renovation that was completed in 2020 by architect Kim Grant (who specializes in historic homes), and Papenhausen Construction painstakingly

preserved period details and added historically accurate embellishments throughout, while meticulously updating the home to more modern, opulent standards. Reimagined with a lavish mix of rare, historic finishes and Moorish tiling sourced from around the world, the renovation masterfully mirrored Requa’s original concept and inspirations. The 14,142-square-foot main house once had six bedrooms and five bathrooms; over its near-century lifespan the estate has gone through several resulting in rendering today’s layout with three bedrooms, four bathrooms and three half bathrooms. The impressive turret acts as an entrance hall, revealing a stunning foyer with a grandiose spiral staircase and striking, century-old, hand-hewn wooden beams. Echoing the kind of extravagance that underscored its era, the home captures the zeitgeist of the CROWNCITYMAGAZINE.COM

1920s as well as Requa’s celebrated design details, including reclaimed 18th century European terracotta tile flooring throughout the main floor, ornate ironwork and opulent stained-glass touches throughout. A capacious kitchen is one both chefs and entertainers dream of, appointed with an 80-inch La Cornue range and rotisserie, double Sub-Zero fridge, Miele steam oven and coffee station, and a full wet bar. Illuminated by custom light fixtures, the space is anchored by an immense marble island.

CROWN CITY MAGAZINE

M AY 2 0 2 2

An immaculately hand-painted, coffered ceiling dominates the formal dining room, punctuating the voluminous expanse that opens outward to a stunning pool deck. Setting the stage for summertime soirees, the jaw-dropping outdoor space is complete with 250 year-old stonework around the pool, Moorish ironwork, a full outdoor kitchen and dining estancia. The lush oasis includes 100 year-old rustic olive trees, three fountains, an 18-hole chip and putting green, a secret garden and a dog run. Perfect for out-of-town guests,

a detached 925 square-foot guest house is equally sumptuous, appointed with a full bathroom and kitchen. The expansive four-car garage also has golf cart parking, and the estate comes with an additional five off-street parking spots — a huge perk for a beach adjacent home in the busy summertime months. Atop the home’s notable turret is a fire pit lounge, wet bar and dining area, all accented by panoramic ocean views. Perhaps the piece de resistance of the recent renovation is the 7,000 square-foot basement that was added to the property’s long list of incredible amenities. The lavish space has an impressive staircase and soaring ceilings, a swing catalyst golf simulator, family media room with bar and dining area, trophy room, wine room, billiards area, and — oh yes — a movie theater with 18 custom recliners, seven bar seats, a carpeted lounge area with bean bag chairs and an entertainment bar complete with candy storage. There is also a 1,300 square-foot world-class gym, and a full spa with a dry sauna, heated massage table and ice plunge bath. And the four-legged friends who prefer a life of luxury will find a private dog room in the basement’s second level.

The timeless estate is part of the Mills Act, celebrating its rich heritage in town and the iconic nature and spirit of Requa’s original design as well as ensuring lower property taxes for the owner. The price tag reflects what a treasure this legacy estate is — one of the most sought-after properties in Southern California that boasts the ever-elusive combination of rare historic splendor alongside modern-day convenience and luxury.

pril has now come and gone. It brought us spring, spruced-up yards, Coronado Floral Association Home Front Judging and of course, the annual Coronado Flower Show. This year the Flower Show had special significance as we celebrated its 100 years from the first show in 1922. With that in mind, I began to think about anniversaries and National Preservation Month sponsored here in town by the Coronado Historical Association (affectionately known locally as CHA). Every May, CHA reminds us of our history and heritage with the wonderful Historic Home Tour on Mother’s Day and lectures throughout the month. This year, as we think about Preservation Month, I thought I would share parts of our town with some significance that are celebrating an anniversary, perhaps some we have overlooked. So much changed with the completion of the Hotel del Coronado. The village began to grow. By 1922, there was a construction boom

and the railroad train ran through town delivering both passengers and supplies. Many of the mansions had been completed in the years between 1900 and 1920, so many of the elite came to visit and entertain throughout the year, especially during the time of the polo matches. Homes had electricity and until 1922 the hotel supplied power to the entire city. After that time, the city went back to getting power from San Diego. Many summer guests stayed at Tent City near the hotel and beach. It was reported that as many as 500 guests were daily visitors there during the summer months. Rather than stay at Tent City, some people sought an alternative and thus construction of cottages began. These were designed for that part-time use although many became permanent residences. This time became known as “The Roaring Twenties” and here in Coronado, you could feel it. Back in 1890 after the completion of the hotel, we had a population of 550 which swelled to 3,300 residents by the early 1920s. 1922 saw telephone history in Coronado when new telephone numbers were given to Coronado residents and a separate section was given to Coronado. At that time Coronado also went through several newspapers, undergoing merger after merger.

It was a time when these residents wanted to see their names in print. There were regular reports of luncheons, garden parties, out-oftown guests, and on it went. That was the year that Coronado got its own flag thanks to a student who won the contest for the best design. Louis Millen’s design of green and white with the gold crown remains our city flag to this day. It was the same time that noted art collector John W. Mitchell moved here from Los Angeles and purchased an estate on Ocean Boulevard. Mitchell, with the help of architect Louis Gill, renovated the site which then housed the famous art collection and some 8,000 volumes for the library. Unfortunately, he died in 1925 and the contents were either taken by relatives or later sold off. In February 1922, Coronado Masonic Lodge was requested to lay the cornerstone for the Coronado High School being built, and which still stands today at the corner of 7th Street and D Avenue. It was the same year that the parsonage was built for St. Paul’s Methodist Church on Olive Avenue at the back of the church. Later that year, the Coronado Cycle Club was formed by W.F. Holland, owner of Holland’s Bike Shop. In May, Coronado had the largest bike parade in all of Southern California. A track was built and a route was organized. From Los Angeles came a carload of antique bicycles to take part in the event. (Note: that is the same Holland’s Bike Shop that we see on Orange Avenue today.) With more and more cars coming to the island, traffic became a problem. People were reckless in their driving on this little bit of land. This resulted in the police chief asking for funds to add two more motorcycles and officers to his staff.

Not all has been lost to history, as evidenced by the number of buildings built at that time and earlier that are still here. They may have been repurposed, but you will know them when you see them. Chronologically, we could start at the boathouse built before the Hotel del Coronado. It has been the Chart House restaurant for many years, later sold and once again operating as the Bluewater Boathouse Seafood Grill. On Loma Avenue near Orange was the Carey/Hizer home built back in 1890. For nearly 50 years now, that has been Chez Loma restaurant. A delightful boutique place to dine. Around the corner on Star Park is the yellow house more commonly referred to as the Wizard of Oz house where L. Frank Baum wrote some of his children’s classics. The home, like so many others, has been a family residence for years. And what about the Blue Lantern Inn on Park? You would know it today as Hotel Marisol, still in operation. There was the Hinde House, a beautiful large home that is now the Kirk House for the Presbyterian Church on C Avenue. These are just a few examples that can easily be viewed with a good walk of Coronado or a CHA Historic Walking Tour that departs from the museum and takes you on a trip back in time. You don’t have to be a tourist to take advantage of a historic stroll and a little exploring during Preservation Month. • Carol Pastor and her family have lived in Coronado since the mid1970s. Mother of seven girls, many of whom still live here in the village, Carol has been involved in the community over the years with the Friends of the Library, Historic Resource Commission and most recently writing about Coronado history for the Coronado Historical Association. An avid history buff since her college days, exploring our local history is a perfect fit.

Toss out the store-bought dressing Story by Chef Clyde Van Arsdall Photos by Georgia Chakos

ettuce does not a salad make. It’s all about the dressing. Not just any dressing — homemade dressing. A salad, in the most basic terms, is anything dressed. Potato, egg, chicken, tuna and pasta can be found in salad forms. These ingredients typically have a thicker dressing than a leafy green salad, but they are still considered salads. The word salad came from the word sal for salt. In ancient Rome, raw vegetables were soaked in saltwater or dressed with salt, oil and vinegar to make them palatable. So when you dress something, it becomes a salad. I have always been fascinated by all the wonderful and innovative things people put in salads. Colors, flavors and textures are all so important, but if it isn't dressed, it ain't a salad. There are several tricks to making a good salad that I will share with you, and none is more important than making your salad dressing at home. Here in California, there is no dressing more iconic than ranch dressing. Evidently, a ranch isn’t just a farm for animals. It is also a place where Steve and Gayle Henson first made their now-famous herbaceous buttermilk dressing. It was served to guests at their Hidden Valley Ranch near Santa Barbara in the early 1950s. Yes, it is a real place. There are quite a few other brands out there that had real beginnings and, in some instances, came from famous or iconic restaurants. Bob’s Blue Cheese

s y a D dressing originated at Bob’s Big Boy burger chain in Los Angeles. Girard's French restaurant in San Francisco gave birth to Girards’s French dressing in 1935. And Caesar Cardini’s famous Caesar dressing came from the restaurant at Caesar’s hotel in Tijuana, Mexico. There is no doubt that when these famous places started sending customers home with mason jars of these classic dressings, they were every bit as good as the stuff they were serving in-house. The versions you are buying in the store are not. To start with, they are not made in-house by hand. The dressings we purchase in the store are mass-produced in a factory. Many restaurants have given up making dressings from scratch as well. So what's the big deal? Are homemade dressings that much better? The answer is a definitive yes. Not only are they better tasting, but they are better for you. Store-bought

dressings are packed full of preservatives. Those are the words on the label you don't recognize. A simple rule of thumb: if you can't pronounce an ingredient, or you don’t recognize it, don’t eat it. Dressings are easy to make, they last a long while in the refrigerator and are so much better than the ones you buy in the store. Once you get the hang of it, you will have a hard time ever buying dressing from the store again. There are a few things you need to know about dressings. The basics are simple; most dressings contain fat and acid. The key to a good dressing is getting that ratio correct for the salad you are making. Most green salads are composed of lettuce and raw vegetables, often with a lighter dressing such as a vinaigrette. In my salad days, I thought a vinaigrette was as simple as one part oil to three parts vinegar. I had that stupid ratio stuck in

my head. This ratio of fat to acid isn't incorrect — it will work. It's just that most of my favorite dressings don't adhere to it. Every salad is different and this ratio should change depending on what the dressing is for. Usually, more oil than vinegar is used, but most of the time not by much and there are some exceptions. With spring in full swing, let's focus on green salads and the dressings that make them pop. I have chosen a few of my favorites. There are a few classic salads that make my shortlist and I will share those recipes. Those salads are the Caesar, the classic spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, the wedge salad with a creamy blue cheese dressing and the Greek salad. I will direct you to one of the best chopped salads in existence and share some dressings that can be put on everything: my balsamic vinaigrette and buttermilk ranch dressing. Let's start with a unique salad that comes with a warm dressing. Spinach Salad: Baby spinach, thinly sliced red onions, sliced mushrooms, hard-boiled egg and crumbled bacon. Served with a warm bacon dressing. This salad is unique both for the use of spinach, a tougher leaf, and for its warm bacon dressing. The warm dressing helps wilt the spinach, making the leaves easier to eat. I first discovered this salad as a kid working the salad station at Peohe’s the year it opened. I

was what the Chart House called a “Gunga,” slang for the guy that works the salad station. Every morning I would cook trays of bacon for the dressing and as a topping for the salad. This salad is so simple, but it packs a punch. The hard-boiled egg is served with the white and yolk separated. Whites diced, and yolks crumbled. The crumbled yolk will fuse to the warm bacon dressing. Use good bacon — it is all over this salad. The cheese, spinach and bacon provide a healthy helping of umami. Umami is one of the five basic tastes in addition to sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Umami is that amazing flavor that is hard to describe with any word other than yummy. The Wedge Salad: A wedge of iceberg lettuce, creamy blue cheese dressing, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, tomatoes and chives. This salad is a steakhouse classic. A simple salad, full of potential. Restaurant versions are either tremendous or terrible. Much like the Caesar salad, if you use quality

ingredients, this salad can and should be excellent. Here are a couple of tips to make sure this salad rocks. Use top-notch blue cheese in your dressing. Humboldt Fog is a goat’s milk cheese akin to a mild blue that you can find locally. The tomatoes play a big part in this salad. I love the heirloom cherry or pear varieties; if you can't find good heirloom tomatoes, then simply don't make the salad. As for bacon, buy the good stuff — smoked and thick-cut. Caesar salad: Romaine hearts, croutons, grated parmesan. Served with a Caesar dressing. A classic that was invented just across the border in Tijuana. Don't forget that Caesar salad is finger food; — don't chop the leaves, simply cut them in half and eat with your hands. I have written about the Caesar salad previously in the September 2020 issue of Crown City Magazine in an article titled “Hail Caesar.” Since then, I have updated and perfected my recipe for the dressing.

Cassar salad is meant to be eaten with your hands, keep the leaves large. CROWNCITYMAGAZINE.COM

Greek salad: Tomatoes, kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onions, feta cheese, pepperoncini and cucumber. Dressed in olive oil, oregano and lemon. Lettuce can be added, but it's not necessary. This salad is one of my favorites. I am lucky enough to have a Greek girlfriend who insisted on sharing the finer points of this salad with me. The secret, she says, is good French — not Greek — feta and quality pitted Kalamata olives. Both of these can be found at North Park Produce in their deli case. The pepperoncini give the salad a nice bite. The tomatoes should be of superior quality and the cucumbers should be seeded. The lemon is a personal addition that provides a nice tang. (A lot of traditional recipes do not include lemon.) Chopped salad: Red onion, iceberg lettuce, radicchio, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, provolone, Genoa salami and pepperoncini. Dressed in red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil and topped with lemon juice and dried oregano. So good when prepared correctly, this is very easy to make and very refreshing. The trick is chopping everything to a consistent size. Good pepperoni or genoa salami is a must. The kind you want comes in a stick that you have sliced to order at a market. This premium salami can be found in Coronado at Garage Buona Forchetta or in Little Italy at Assenti’s and Mona Lisa. In my humble opinion, Nancy Silverton makes the best version of this salad; there is nothing that needs improving. I hope you look it up. Give these recipes a try. The best place to shop for salad ingredients is your local farmers' market. If the timing isn’t right for a market take a trip to Specialty Produce on Hancock Street; it is well worth the drive. If they don't have everything you want for a great salad, no one will. • Clyde Van Arsdall is a third-generation Coronado Local, chef and storyteller.

Blue Cheese Dressing Olive Avenue Supper Club Ingredients: • 4 oz of goat cheese (Humboldt Fog) crumbled • ¼ cup of sour cream • ¼ cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s or Duke’s) • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh chives • 1.5 teaspoons prepared horseradish • 1.5 teaspoons champagne vinegar • Milk or buttermilk to thin out the dressing to the right consistency. Directions: Stir together in a bowl with a fork, smashing some of the blue cheese so it will incorporate into the dressing. Leave the rest chunky. Thin to desired consistency with milk or buttermilk. Greek Salad Dressing Georgia Chakos Ingredients: • 8 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice • 2 teaspoons dried oregano • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Directions: This dressing is so basic that it can be mixed together or the ingredients can be tossed with the salad individually. The original recipe had no lemon juice, just oil and dry oregano. Balsamic Vinaigrette Olive Avenue Supper club Ingredients: • 5 Tablespoons olive oil • 4 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar • 4 Tablespoons red wine vinegar • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Instructions: Whisk together in a bowl or combine and shake in a jar.

Warm Bacon Dressing Olive Avenue Supper Club Ingredients: • 3 Tablespoons of bacon fat • 3 Tablespoons of red wine vinegar • 1teaspoon of sugar • ½ teaspoon of dijon mustard (buy the good stuff; Maille is a great brand) • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Directions: In a small saucepan, heat bacon grease, whisk in red wine vinegar, sugar, and dijon, season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve warm over salad. Caesar Dressing Olive Avenue Supper Club • 4 anchovies • ½ teaspoon salt • 2 cloves garlic • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard • 2 Tablespoon olive oil • ½ cup neutral oil (grapeseed or avocado) • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese • 2 egg yolks Directions: Mince then smash together the salt garlic and anchovies until it is like a paste. Add the pepper, mustard, cheese, and egg yolk and whisk together. Slowly whisk in the two oils until everything is incorporated. Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Olive Avenue Supper Club • ½ cup sour cream • ½ cup buttermilk • ¼ cup mayonnaise, Hellmann’s or Duke’s • 2 cloves garlic minced • 1 teaspoon of salt • ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground pepper • 1 ½ teaspoon dried dill • ¼ cup finely chopped chives • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Directions: Combine ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.

Helpful Salad tips:

• A salad is a canvas, so paint it however you would like. Treat salad recipes as a guideline that can be changed to your liking. Lettuce types are often interchangeable, as are toppings. Vinegar and oils in dressings are easy to switch up as well. • Tomatoes: only buy good ones, as dressing won't help flavorless tomatoes. • Always add something crunchy. I like croutons, but fried wonton or tortilla strips are fun. A real zinger is Rice Krispies Cereal. I had this at Harney Sushi, and it blew my mind. • Onions can often be too astringent tasting — once sliced, onions can be rinsed under cold water or soaked in ice water for up to an hour. This mellows them right out. • Olive oil is a flavorful oil so buy the good stuff. I like unfiltered varieties (Buona Forchetta market or Assenti’s). • Neutral oil: instead of corn or canola, try grapeseed or avocado oil. • Vinegar: good balsamic, red wine, champagne and rice wine varieties are good to have on hand. • Citrus: use fresh never buy bottled lemon or lime juice. • Black pepper: buy a grinder, and always use the fresh stuff. The difference is night and day. • Grab a second bowl when serving. Use it to dress the amount of salad you put on your plate. If you don't dress the entire salad, you can store the leftovers with better results. • When making a dressing, always double the recipe. Most dressings last for weeks in the refrigerator.

Spring

Inspired Before + After By Jessica Nicolls + Karyn Frazier

e LOVE a good before and after and this one left us speechless. Our clients wanted to create a bright, warm and inviting kitchen in their historical Spanish-style home. We wanted to stay true to the bones of the house without it feeling dark and obtrusive, so we kept things bright in the cabinetry and matched the original wood floors and ran them through the space. We removed a wall between the dining nook and the kitchen and it allowed for so much natural light to fill the entire space.

After

We repainted the walls a soft white and did a cream tile on the sink wall. On the wall by the back door, we had a lot of unused space that we were able to turn into a large pantry that had room for backpack drop-off and extra food storage. One of our favorite features was that we were able to save the leaded glass cabinets from the original bar area and reuse them in our design. To finish off the space with styling, we added in some fresh blooming branches and a vintage rug to blend the new and old together.

Butterfly Gardens

CROWN CITY MAGAZINE

M AY 2 0 2 2

pring has sprung in Coronado! The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and butterflies have begun to re-appear. As we watch nature awaken in the warmer weather, we will also see more and more beautiful butterflies! You may already see them fluttering around as you walk along the island or pass by the flowers at the Hotel Del. Their beauty is captivating and often entices you to take out your camera and snap a quick picture so it can be remembered forever! And there is so much more to these delicate flying beauties! Butterflies play an important role in our ecosystem as one of the best pollinators along with bees, hummingbirds and ladybugs. The key to a healthy garden is knowing how to attract these butterflies by planting an array of butterfly food and host plants.

Monarch Butterflies

The monarch butterfly has a truly impressive migration, flying up to 2,500 miles from the US and Canada where they breed, all the way down to the forests in central Mexico where they hibernate in winter roosting spots. Individuals are fortunate if they make the round-trip once. The butterflies lay eggs as they travel, and it is often their great-grandchildren that return to the overwintering site. Many of these butterflies pass through Coronado on their routes, and lay their eggs here throughout the spring and summer. Monarch butterflies only lay their eggs on milkweed, as it is the only host plant for their caterpillars. Although milkweed is poisonous for humans and animals to ingest, monarch caterpillars devour the leaves and flowers with no consequence. In fact, this adaptation makes monarch caterpillars and butterflies poisonous to predators which helps them survive. Monarchs normally have a lifespan of two to six weeks, apart from the migrating monarchs who overwinter. These hibernating monarchs can live up to eight months. Monarch caterpillars are easily identified by their black, yellow and white stripes with a set of black tentacles at each end of its body. If you are lucky enough to find a caterpillar with three sets ofpad tentacles, that isataWild queen Butterfly. Splash and waterfall Woods in the Wildlife Explorers Basecamp.

In our region tachinid flies, or T-flies, are a terrible parasite. If T-flies are injected into a caterpillar, they will kill the host at the point when it attempts to pupate. Caterpillars protected in a mesh cage can avoid contact with these parasites, as well as wasps and other predators. CROWNCITYMAGAZINE.COM

Types of milkweed to plant that are native to San Diego: Narrow-leaved milkweed, showy milkweed, Indian Milkweed, California Milkweed, Desert Milkweed and Rush Milkweed You may also plant Tropical Milkweed. From personal experience this is the favorite milkweed for Monarchs to lay their eggs on. But you need to make sure you cut it back to about 1-2 inches in the winter to make sure the Monarch butterflies are not laying eggs in the cold season. At that point they need to conserve their energy and be focused on overwintering.

How to attract Monarch Butterflies: Do you want to attract monarchs to your garden? Plant milkweed in full sun in your garden and the monarch butterflies will find it! Using their antennae to smell the plant, female monarchs will then land on the milkweed using their feet to taste the leaves before carefully laying eggs on the underside of the leaves one by one. 44

Swallowtail Butterfly The largest butterfly in the United States, swallowtails will swoop through your garden and mesmerize you as they gracefully flutter from flower to flower. Once the swallowtail lays eggs on the host plant, it will take four to nine days, depending on the temperature, to hatch. When it is first hatched, the caterpillar is black and it will turn green, black, yellow and white as it grows. Their chrysalis ranges in color from green to brown, which enables them to blend into their surroundings.

How to attract swallowtail butterflies: Plant wildflowers to provide sweet nectar to both male and female swallowtails. Swallowtails are not as picky as other butterflies for host plants for their eggs. Look to plant fennel, lemon and lime trees, dill, parsley, carrots and cilantro in your garden. Swallowtail butterflies will lay their eggs on these plants and their caterpillars will have their favorite foods to devour when they hatch. CROWNCITYMAGAZINE.COM

Swallowtail caterpillars love to munch and crunch on carrot tops, dill and lemon leaves as pictured above.

Gulf Fritillary Butterflies

Gulf fritillary butterflies, also known as passion butterflies, are a bright orange, medium-sized butterfly with large forewings. The females are larger than the males and often appear more of a brownish orange. When a female lays her eggs on the host plant, she will do so one by one. The eggs are tiny, spherical, yellow eggs that will hatch within three to five days. The spiky orange and black caterpillars that hatch are poisonous to predators, but are completely safe for humans to hold and touch since they do not sting. How to attract Gulf fritillary butterflies: Plant wildflowers to provide sweet nectar to both male and female fritillaries. Plant passion fruit vines and passion flowers as host plants. The caterpillars will eat holes in the leaves for 11 to 16 days before pupating. Their chrysalis mimics a dead leaf and is often very well camouflaged among the branches and leaves of the passion fruit vine.

he Coronado Art Association is hosting an art exhibition of the collected master works of seven island artists in the Spreckels Reading Room and Gallery at the Library. The show Opens Friday, May 13 and runs through August 13 this year. The artists all have visual tales to tell about Coronado from very different perspectives. The story is about the culture of the Island as told by extraordinary painters. Their artwork ranges in style from abstract expressionism to impressionism, including wild whimsy countered with crisp, clear realism. Who are these people? The artists in this show are all Coronadans. The show is being curated by the Coronado Art Association to celebrate its 75th anniversary. Attend the artists’ reception from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 13. Meet the artists at the reception, vote for your favorite and you may win a work of art as a prize. Three of the artists are offering free art classes through the library for adults and children, but class size is small and participants are limited; priority goes to those that first sign up at the reception. This is an art show like no other. Each wall of the Spreckels reading room in the library has been composed as a page in a very large, illustrated art book of original paintings paired with a short storyline about the island, written by myself as the Association’s curator. A walk around the room reveals a very tall tale about Coronado culture that is at times amusing and also somewhat revealing. The Island Storybook Headlines are listed below and are each paired with a sneak preview of one of the paintings that illustrate each “page” in the island’s story:

She teaches art at her studio here on the island and she is the president of the Coronado Art Association.

Fathom the Sea & What Lies Beneath:

This section of the show features a series of paintings by artists Teresa Espaniola and myself, that reveal not only what “flies above” but also what “lies beneath” the sea. Both artists work in acrylics on canvas or board, in painterly styles that range from realism to impressionism. The artists use bold bravura brush strokes, delicate layers of glazing or heavy impasto palette knife techniques to capture the many moods and movements of the sea.

Artist Connie Spitzer’s works depict an artist’s eye of Coronado neighborhoods, public art and events. Her work is being published in a fine art coloring book by the Association titled “Color Me Coronado.” One hundred copies of this coloring book, and a watercolor pencil set are being given away through the Library’s Children’s Art Program this summer thanks to a generous donation by the Jim and Bette T. Sherman Fund and support from the City of Coronado Cultural Arts Commission. This art show commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Coronado Art Association. The association was founded in 1947 and has been sponsoring Art in the Park events at Spreckels Park since 1959. All of the artists in the Island Storybook Show, along with other members of the

En Plein Air (French Translation: “In the Open Air”)

The local Mediterranean climate and the golden light of the seasons are what attract plein air artists from around the world to paint here. Jim Nix is a master of this genre. In the Coronado Storybook Show display area he has left behind an easel, an unfinished work of art and his palette, just as if he had set up to paint in the field for you to see. Jim paints both on the island and inland. His work represents the very finest of today’s California plein air artists. If you don’t know what this wood tiki mask with a ponytail yard sign means, you will find out its origins and many other hidden things about Coronado at this show. It opens Friday, May 13 and runs through the summer until August 13 at the Coronado Library.

Local creates a

Beauty Line

that Gives Back By Pilialoha Estall

It began with a passion inspired by nature! At age 14, Sara Ali started mixing honey, milk and natural ingredients in the kitchen to make skin and hair remedies for herself and family to try. Instantaneously, as if by a force of nature, she became passionate about the ‘elements of nature,’ and fascinated by how they produce products we use every day. She would go to the market weekly with her mom, picking out ingredients — from chamomile and lavender to milk and oatmeal, and more — then mixing and trying new all-natural remedies daily. Her mom was her biggest cheerleader and supporter, eagerly trying all her creations. From there, Sara’s love of creating products celebrating the therapeutic properties of nature’s ingredients was born. She took raw, pure, organic and natural ingredients and carefully crafted them into treatments for hair and skin. Her first customers were friends and family who wanted a way to nourish themselves the natural way.

Jennifer Pitts, a Coronado resident and grandma of seven, says, "Miracles & More is literally like magic fairy dust. My skin and hair have never been so great, I get compliments every day.” In March, Sara Ali, founder of Miracles & More, also curated the business’s very first ‘For Women, By Women’ event, celebrating Women’s History Month and local womenowned businesses.

After completing graduate school and starting a family, formulating was still always a part of her day and on her mind. So She decided to attend Formula Botanica, Organic Cosmetic Formulation School and the rest was history. After her family moved to Coronado, she started her own product line.

Sara loves that her children get to see her passion — which started at their present ages— become a reality! Her favorite phrase is “believe in all the miracles you can be and more.” So, she couldn't think of a better name than “Miracles & More” for all-natural products that nourish us inside and out, with the finest ingredients nature has to offer. It is about the miracles of nature and creating your own miracles in life, inspired by nature!
