Finlayson keeps the reader hanging on for dear life as she puts Maya through an intense and dangerous encounter and has Maya and the reader thinking that she has murdered someone – in self-defense. The story ends a bit too abruptly with a couple of threads dangling, but it is still a page-turner with a plausible plot and outcome. A very good first effort by Christine Finlayson. Maybe Maya will turn into a series sleuth?

there will be beer and football in another room. For me there has to be football: My alma mater is in the Rose Bowl (and I didn’t go to Michigan State). People elsewhere will be, and have been, celebrating the New Year in myriad ways. Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church will celebrate in mid-January, and the Chinese New Year occurs every \HDU RQ WKH ¿ UVW lunar month, sometime between Jan. 21 and Feb. 21. In Tibet, Losar, the New Year, is an important festival that falls at a time between January and March, and is celebrated for 15 days. For the Babylonians and Aztecs, the New Year arrived in March, and some cultures celebrate in the fall. For Western Europe, and increasingly for the rest of the world, Jan. 1 marks the New Year, a tradition that began in eighth century B.C. Rome. This tradition waned with the fall of the Roman Empire though, and was not re-adopted by the British Empire until 1752, with the move from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar.

a sort of cathedral of the time, where Neolithic people would both bury the dead and commune with their ancestors. It wasn’t a setting for a New Year’s Eve party. That was a few miles away at Durrington Walls, where the people who built Stonehenge lived, and where archaeologists have dug up and dated the bones of hundreds of pigs – the remains of winter solstice barbecues. It was even likely that beer was consumed at these feasts, brought to the British Isles by the Beaker culture in about 2500 B.C.; they even introduced the vessels from which to drink the brew. Unfortunately, tortilla chips, salsa and football had not yet been invented. Beer won’t be a problem in our area, of course, especially since the Fort George Brewery, at 1483 Duane St., has a no-cover New Year’s party. From 7:30 to 9 p.m. it’s open to all, with music by perennial local favorite Brownsmead Flats. From 10 p.m. on the party is 21 and over with Don and The Quixotes, Portland’s foremost (and only) 17th-Century-Spanish-literature-themed surf rock party band.

Have a hankering for Tex-Mex?

El Compadre fits the bill

I

In my recent dining experiences, I have been thinking a lot about the idea of authenticity. With the debate surrounding GMO food labeling and a greater national concern about obesity, more and more restaurants, thankfully, are pushing for food that is natural, organic and locally sourced. Real food. Authentic food. Along the same lines, I have also been considering the idea of authenticity when it comes to ethnic food restaurants. What does authentic mean? Webster would say that it means being of undisputed or genuine origin. Are restaurants, then, that claim to be serving “authenticâ€? foods, doing just that? I am hard pressed to think of many local restaurants that I consider to be serving cuisine of genuine Mexican origin – most of it is really Tex-Mex – so what does that mean for my one-sided conversation about authenticity? It means that a lot of times, the food you are eating that is purportedly authentic may really not be – but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad. I have commented before on the questionable authenticity of many Mexican and Chinese restaurants (many of which are serving Americanized Cantonese food). Fajitas are an American invention, for example, as is the practice of covering every dish with a gloppy layer of Monterey jack cheese (in Mexico, you DUH PRUH OLNHO\ WR Âż QG D VSULQNOLQJ RI TXHVR fresco or cotija). Still, that doesn’t mean that I don’t occasionally get a hankering for TexMex food, and when I do, El Compadre in :DUUHQWRQ Âż WV WKH ELOO QLFHO\ Clean and colorful, with chairs and tables

painted with cacti and parrots, El Compadre is welcoming, and the servers are friendly, fast and can offer helpful suggestions when you’re ordering. The chips and salsa that are customarily served are better than most, with house-made salsa that is authentic – salsa should be condensed, thin and saucy, and not the thick, chunky stuff that we have come to expect (which might be closer to pico de gallo). On a recent visit, I let my server order for me. I asked what she might suggest for someone who really wanted DXWKHQWLF IRRG DQG VKH ¿ UVW UHFRPPHQGHG WKH chicken in mole sauce. Mole is a blanket term for a number of Mexican sauces, some white, green or yellow, but the variety most commonly served here in the states can have black pepper, cumin, cloves and sometimes choco-

late, which gives it its characteristic rich brown color. I liked the mole sauce served at El Compadre very much and found it exceedingly better than others I’ve tried in the area. The chicken was overdone, though, dry, and a little rubbery. I would love to taste the mole again if it were perhaps braised slowly with a whole chicken. The refried beans and rice served alongside each dish are not particularly appetizing to me in most any restaurant, so I usually push those aside. The beans here did have a pleasing texture, though, and were not overly salty, as they can

HOURS: Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. PRICES: Prices are incredibly reasonable, with most dishes hovering between $10 to $15. SERVICE: Our server was friendly and worked quickly, and was able to offer helpful suggestions about the menu.

be sometimes. Next up was a daily special of camerones mojo de ajo – garlic-infused shrimp. This was my favorite dish of the day – the shrimp were perfectly cooked and not overly done, and each bite was infused with the piquant taste of garlic and rich butter. Huevos rancheros is a Mexican dish that I usually also enjoy, a fried egg atop a crispy corn tortilla and thick salsa. My egg was overly done for my liking, with very little runny yolk, but the dish was saved by the aforementioned authentic salsa. Tacos al carbon – steak tacos – were close to authentic with fresh diced chunks of onion and only a light sprinkling of cheese. The steak was a bit tough, though, and lacked VRPH À DYRU On the whole, my experience at El Compadre didn’t necessarily provide me with the DXWKHQWLFLW\ , ZDV VHHNLQJ EXW , GLG ¿ QG VHYHU al tasty moments, most namely the camarones mojo de ajo, which I wholeheartedly recommend.

Five Minutes With ... MJ ANDERSON

Born and raised in Portland, this artist selects marble each year from the quarries of Carrara, Italy and creates sculptures in her studios in Carrara and Nehalem. She speaks both English and Italian, and she has carved the figure of the human torso for more than 25 years, seeking to express the essence of what it means to be human. You can learn more about this artist and view her work at www.mjandersonsculpture.com

What art mediums do you work in and where do you show your work? I am a sculptor and printmaker. I have shown my work for more than 20 years at Davidson Galleries in Seattle. In Portland, I show at the Murdoch Collection and the Portland Art Museum Rental Sales Gallery. In Manzanita, my work is featured at Coast Gallery, which is affiliated with Coast Cabins. What sparked your interest in art and how did you become an artist? As a child I saw the article on Picasso in LIFE magazine, and I thought, “This would

be a good job to have!� I became an artist only after years and years of working in the studio. How did you settle on sculpture as your medium of choice? Sculpture chose me. I am the kind of person who should not have too many choices. When carving stone, each stroke of the hammer is definite, moving forward. Your work focuses on the female form. What drew you to this subject? Most sculptors have been men, carving the female form as an object. I feel it is my life’s work and responsi-

bility to my gender to speak of the female from a female point of view. I also create abstract sculptures, which are based on my view of the world around me. How does your art deal with social and political themes? My work, whether figurative or abstract, responds to the passions of what it feels to be human. My responsibility as an artist is to respond to the world we live in. In the past, my work has responded to issues such as violence towards women, breast cancer, war and climate change. What is some of your recent work? Responding to climate change and its implications, I have recently finished several tornado-inspired sculptures. I fell in love with a green onyx last year, which has resulted in vessel forms that resemble petrified water, petrified rain and petrified tears. If you could meet any artist, dead or alive, who would it be? I have met so many talented and committed artists from all around the world, many of whom have become dear friends. Many of the most famous artists in history were not easy people. One of the most truly gifted “artistic� people I know is a mentally challenged woman I met when volunteering with other sculptors at a care facility in Italy. A truly great artist is one who can

communicate their individuality and humanity at the same time. Describe your studio above Carrara, Italy. I work in a professional studio which produces / fabricates work in granite and marble for artists. They have helped me produce several large public art projects as well as allowed me to make my own work in their studio. Who or what inspires you – in art and in life? I never think of “inspiration.� I just get up every day and go into the studio and work. I am inspired by people who face challenges, who despite disabilities or distress, still get up every day and do the best they can.
