the wind in the sails of this online vessel is the hope that you will respond in some way, make the food, eat the food, delicious. Good for you and easy. There are no risks of breach of copyright, as this recipe was developed independently and with love, taking inspiration from a granola stall at a Toronto farmers market. Whats more is it is only sweetened by the fruit inside it, and involves no flour or dairy- the bananas bind the show together. It uses only common ingredients, and allows plenty of room for improvisation. If you like it sweet- go liberal on the dried fruit.
Furthermore, you can think of it as a snack to enjoy while the rectangle (as it exists in box form) changes contents. for everybody:

2 cups of whole oats
3 bananas
1/4-1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil (more if you feel frivolous)
cinnamon, nutmeg, or mixed spice
pinch or two of salt
generous amount of generous dried fruit. don't use any selfish raisins
nuts and/or seeds, the same deal
(The pictured cookies use dates, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds, linseed, raisins, chopped dried apricots, but go fruity slash go nuts and use whatever you like)


Add a dash of water to the oats and stir while you wait for the oven to heat up to 190 degrees celcius.

Mash the ripe bananas, then add the rest and stir. Use a spoon or fingers to dollop them into a tray, or baking paper, then make sure they look in cookie shape as they wont melt flat like regular non-extraordinary cookies with no self esteem do. These guys will hold strong. kia kaha.

Bake for 20-25 mins. use the comments feature below, and hit back if you are generous enough to share another recipe project of your own. any improvements to suggest, do the same. good luck

VIDEO TEASER

I know you all have been looking, there are marks on the glass in front of the peep holes. Just a tip: with freshly equipped new lights, you should have no problems visiting the rectangleBox at night time, to have a wee peep whilst no ones around.

This one you gotta see in the real- enjoy.

thereading room.

reading rooms are always fascinating.
I imagine such rooms to exist with maybe one or two windows, not like the new glass box public libraries which we now see, maybe more like an office, only attached to a house. But the window of a reading room is reduced to an image. Inside the room, the window does signify the outside, but it is always an entrance to the outside. For the occupant of the room it is no more a way of passage than each of the books in the room, each extracted sentence in the book, each extracted word in the sentence, the spacing between each utterance, or the spacing that the reader adds theirself upon reading.

An imagining of reading room for me somehow always includes a chair. I have always found this disappointing, perhaps only for my own restlessness. The reader almost always sits.

RectangleBox window looks into the reading room.

BIKES FOR GHANA

THANK YOU to everybody who made it to B.F.G number one. It really was a great ride. We managed to raise $500 dollars for Unicef, which is enough to buy 12 (and a half) bicycles for Ghanian girls!

We will definately be doing this again-

look out for a bike from now on if you dont have one, so that we can all be there next time. Plus you could help the planet to stay cool and that.... Please, if you have any feedback, bad or good are both helpful, let us know in the comments below OK? enjoy all of your bicycles and treat them as you would yourself.

here are some pictures

they immediately took to the rectangleBox, one cannot help but to lean in and observe these things. When you lean back out again everything seems to be out of proportion, or maybe you just realise that proportions are not as important as you thought they were .

thanks Anjelica
