Mark your calendar for Northeast Indiana’s community-focused celebration (260)DAY. On 2.6.22 we will celebrate all that is great about the (260).

But because, in 2022, we have that much more to celebrate, (260)DAY will be celebrated the entire weekend (2.5.22 – 2.6.22) and is going to be jam packed with discounts, festivities, fun, deals and specials.

HUB26O is owned by members of the community. We are out talking to our neighbors, learning from our business leaders, participating in special events, getting involved in activities and opening our wallets to support all things local.

Please feel free to ask us anything, share your stories and tell us the details about the who, what, where, when that we should cover in HUB26O. We want you to love HUB26O as much as we do.

And when you are out-and-about in downtown Fort Wayne, you are likely to see me and Osby, the chief pooch officer for HUB26O. (Don’t tell Mayor Henry, but Osby thinks he is the Mayor (and official greeter) for The Landing and Promenade Park.)

So, if you do see us, please say hello.

(Although Osby said he would much prefer treats and tummy rubs.)

We look forward to you becoming our friend and enjoying all the benefits.

In the meantime, enjoy this preview of what’s to come.

[above] Taiwanese Milk Bread with different toppings. [below] FOOD THOUGHT’s host Réna Bradley and guest chef Rosa Ko. In the bowl of a stand mixer (use paddle attachment) on a low speed, combine flour, salt, milk powder, proofed active yeast and roux starter. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Replace mixer’s paddle attachment with dough hook. Add softened butter.

Knead dough for 15 minutes or until smooth and springy.

Lightly butter the inside of a large bowl.

Remove dough from mixer’s bowl. Form a ball. Place ball back in the bowl. Cover loosely with kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place until dough doubles in size (about 45 minutes).

Dust work area with flour. Knead the dough for 5 minutes. Cut dough

into even pieces (dough will make 2 standard-sized loaves, 3 mini loves or 8 buns). Knead. For buns, make rounded balls and make sure creases are folded pan-side down and/or smoothed over.

Place buns on a parchment covered baking sheet (or in buttered loaf pans).

Cover loosely with kitchen towel. Let rest for about 20 minutes.

Place a small pan of water on the bottom rack of oven. Preheat oven to 350˚. After dough has rested, brush each bun with butter/whole milk/mayo.

Remove baking sheet from oven. Let buns cool for about 10 minutes. Then remove from baking sheet and place on wire rack.

What Was Thomas Jefferson Thinking?

I

n crafting the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson was establishing the philosophical foundation for breaking away from the British Empire. Most colonial charters of the period stated man had the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of property.”

But, Jefferson wanted a bigger incentive to support the overthrow of government than mere freedom. He was looking for a notion so irresistible that all those who knew of it would find it essential. He found that in the idea of human fulfillment.

By framing happiness as a pursuit, Jefferson set up Americans to always be working toward it even if happiness is not something that may be achieved.

Through the centuries, we have indulged in phrenology, astrology and psychology; we have read everything from self-help books to action comics to the Bible; and we have chosen to live by obligation and by whim... all as part of this pursuit.

There are so many interpretations, but no consensus.

Sigmund Freud said, “The intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.”

An old Japanese proverb states, “Finding happiness is like clutching the shadow or chasing the wind.”

Charlie Brown said, “Happiness is a warm puppy,” and the Beatles told us that happiness is a warm gun. [hap-ee-nis]definitions is an exhibit at the Jeffrey R. Krull Gallery in the downtown branch of the ACPL based on a interviews with 18 individuals about how they define happiness. Their definitions have many similar themes but they also have many twists and turns that make each definition very personal.

Here are some excerpts from the exhibit in the hopes that they ignite the exploration of how you define what it truly means to be happy.

Happiness appears to be an ethereal condition, something that many of us have trouble defining.

Listen to Julia Meek’s Folktales on happiness.

KRISTY MEEKS, 29 & CAMERON SHOMO, 26 How do you know if you are happy?

Cameron: In face expression and emotions.

Kristy: It is like magic and sparks in your eyes.

JESSE SINGH, 47

Happiness isn’t the whole picture it is just some of the dots in the picture. Other dots in the picture include belief in God, faith and doing good deeds. You must keep doing your part and God will do his part.

FACTS OF LIFE: Boyfriend and girlfriend for three years.

Have Down Syndrome. Work at GiGi’s Playhouse Fort Wayne’s Genesis Health Bar. Live independently at CASS Housing.

FACTS OF LIFE: From Punjab, India. Came to the US in 1991. Sikh. In 2013 moved to Fort Wayne.

RÉNA BRADLEY, 37

Happiness is … Singing in the shower. Licking the bowl when making a Sock-It-To-Me Cake. Having moments of contentment when I am by myself. Waking up at whatever time. Leaning into my passions. Chilling out alone. Sitting in bliss while having all out side-splitting belly laughs. Watching my work and efforts come to life. Picturing how thing will be when they are done.

Driving to visit my family with the windows down and playing loud music.

FACTS OF LIFE: Architect. Community Advocate.

Daughter. Sister.
