Todd DePastino: The Salem Witch Trials
Tuesday, Nov. 19
7 p.m.

Todd presents a new series on one of the most infamous events in American history: the Salem Witch Trials. It began on a cold January day in 1692 with two young girls telling fortunes in the kitchen of the Rev. Samuel Parris. The girls began barking, twisting and writhing in pain, as if gripped by an evil force. It was a clear case of witchcraft. By the time it was over, 19 people had been hanged, five had died in prison and 200 others had been accused. Come hear the gruesome details and consider whether this was, in fact, one of the first recorded cases of “Mass Conversion Disorder,” commonly known as “mass hysteria.”

Dining DINING 43912
TURKEY, WHITE BEAN & SPINACH STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
INGREDIENTS
½ cup uncooked orzo
For the sauce:
6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
½ cup fresh basil leaves
1 ¾ cups tomato sauce (such as marinara)
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried thyme
For the turkey:
1 tbsp extravirgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 pound ground turkey (or ground turkey sausage for even more flavor!)
1 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the mix-ins:
1 (15 oz) can of Great Northern beans
3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
4 ounces Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup)
For the peppers:
6 medium to large green or red bell peppers
1 heaping cup shredded mozzarella, divided
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350.
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook according to directions on the package. Then drain and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, add 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce (reserving 1/4 cup for later), garlic cloves, basil and oregano. Blend on high 1 - 2 minutes until smooth. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and turkey, breaking up the meat as you stir. Season with salt and pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally until turkey is cooked and no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in tomato sauce from the blender until turkey is wellcoated. Stir in the beans, cooked orzo and spinach and simmer uncovered on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes (the spinach will break down as you cook it). Taste and add additional salt and pepper, as necessary.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.
While the turkey and sauce are cooking, you can prepare the peppers: Cut off the tops of the peppers and remove the ribs and seeds. Rinse out extra seeds and place each pepper next to each other in a greased 2-quart baking dish. Alternatively, you can cut the peppers in half lengthwise and place them skin-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish (totally fine if they are touching).
Divide mixture between each pepper. Add an extra spoonful of reserved tomato sauce on top of each pepper. Sprinkle the tops with mozzarella.
Coat a large piece of foil with nonstick cooking spray and place spray-side down on the baking dish and cover tightly. This prevents the cheese from sticking to the foil. Bake peppers for 45 minutes until fork tender. Remove foil, then place back in oven and cook for 10 more minutes or until cheese is slightly golden brown.
Makes 6 whole peppers or 12 pepper halves.
ART CLASSES
“What
is Art?” Artistic Potluck Conversation with David Michael Ed
Sunday, Nov. 24
3:30 p.m.
Art Studio
Join David Michael Ed in a conversation about artists, new and old. David says modern art is cyclical, and artists are the seers of the future. He will ask us, “What do you think modern art is, and are we going forward or backward?”
David has been creating and teaching art and music for nearly his entire life. Now a resident of Masonic Village, he is excited to share with us the stories behind the lives and works of past and current artists. For example, did you know that Matisse never gave up when he became disabled? Instead, he developed a new form of art with the help of assistants, creating cut paper, collages and decoupage. Chuck Close, a master of pixels and portraits, used art as a means of navigating learning disabilities. Andy Warhol challenged the boundaries between fine art, mass advertising and celebrity cultures.
LIFELONG LEARNING
Mondays, at 4 p.m., in the Assembly Room
For your potluck entry, bring one question or story about your favorite artist. For example, “I wonder what was behind the thinking of Andy Warhol when he painted the tomato soup cans, and how does that art relate to Pittsburgh culture in general?”
GREAT MASTERS: ROBERT AND CLARA SCHUMANN PART II
Nov. 4
Marriage and Songs
After winning a lawsuit against Clara’s father, the couple were married. Robert composed 150 songs in the year 1840. At first, they were a happy couple, but then the demands of career and personal life changed that.
Nov. 11
The Symphonic Year
Striking a balance between family and career, Robert wrote a number of orchestral works while Clara returned to touring just three months after their first child was born.
Nov. 18
Illness Takes Hold
In 1844, Robert’s mental health declined, so the couple moved to Dresden to be closer to his doctors. In 1850, he had a period of intense creativity and became the musical director for the city of Dusseldorf. At
first, everything was fine, but then the orchestra demanded his resignation.
Nov. 25
Madness
Dusseldorf inspired the creation of many sonatas, orchestral and choral pieces for voice and piano. At this time, the couple met Brahms, who became a lifelong friend and support for Clara. Robert attempted suicide in the Rhine River and was then placed in an asylum, where he died two years later. Clara kept the family together despite the pain of the early deaths of several of her children.
