When creating a work, Black tends to embrace the “human element” as part of his process.

Meet the chef
Emily Miner and Thelma's Bread Dough If it can be wrapped in dough and fried, Emily Miner has probably already done it.
BY ELLIE REINHARDT
“We try everything, and if it blows up in the fryer, we just take it out real quick,” she said during a short break at Field Days last week. Miner, 34, is the owner of Thelma’s, a mobile food truck that was born in 1979 when her grandma Thelma Miner walked into the Addison County Fair and Field Days with her own cart and a recipe for fried bread dough with maple cream. “The recipe was always just in my head, and now I guess it’s in her head,” said Thelma Miner, now 86. “It’s the same bread, all homemade. Nothing bought or frozen. It’s always fresh.” Emily Miner took over the family business — based in their hometown of Brandon — eight years ago. Three years later, she returned to Field Days with a new truck and an expanded menu. “It’s fun to experiment,” she said. “And my Gram’s KVIEX FIGEYWI WLIƶW WS I\GMXIH EFSYX HMǺIVIRX XLMRKW I do.” The original Thelma’s menu included the fried bread dough, maple cream and the “doh dog,” a hotdog wrapped in bread dough and fried. These days, the menu also boasts a bacon cheddar “doh pocket,” a “doh dog” with bacon and cheddar

added in, and a “snick snack,” a Snickers given the Thelma’s treatment — wrapped in dough and fried. And that’s a limited menu, due to restrictions on vendors at Field Days. Miner also rolls her Thelma’s food truck into music festivals, weddings and other events around the state. Outside of Field Days, she’s started serving a grilled version of the bread dough and the “Happy Hippie,” a breakfast sandwich featuring a fried egg, bacon, cheddar cheese and garlic pesto. The sandwich is, of course, wrapped in dough and fried. While the signs outside of Thelma’s and the chairs in the “Dohasis” — a shady oasis for hungry visitors — are all original from her grandma’s cart, the Thelma’s truck of today is a repurposed Addison County Regional Transit bus. Emily painted and decorated it to replicate the original Thelma’s cart.

MAKE YOUR OWN MAPLE CREAM Follow this recipe, although it’s not nearly as good as Thelma’s, we hope it will do.
INGREDIENTS: 3 cups 100% pure maple syrup (grade A light amber makes for the best cream) Âź teaspoon cream or vegetable oil, optional
DIRECTIONS: Place a medium saucepan in an ice bath and set aside. Combine the syrup and oil/cream in a second medium saucepan (with sides high enough to catch any syrup as it will bubble and rise when boiling). Bring to a boil and cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 235 degrees (about 16-18 minutes). Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into the iced saucepan. Let cool, without stirring, until the syrup is 100 degrees (about 15 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the ice bath and stir the syrup vigorously with a wooden spoon until it turns thick, pale and opaque (about 30 minutes). Alternatively, pour the syrup into a stand mixer (stainless steel only) and with the paddle attachment, stir syrup on the lowest setting until thick, pale and opaque.

Emily and her "Gram" Thelma Miner take a break at Addison County Fair & Field Days last week.
Emily is developing Thelma’s and serving up fried dough to customers in her spare time. Otherwise, she works as a personal trainer and membership director at Middlebury Fitness. “There’s a balance,� she explained. “Thelma’s is in my blood, and training gets me physically well to do what I do here.� And she’s doing it well. As we sat in the Dohasis at the fairgrounds one afternoon last week, Doug Tolles and his daughter, Grace, walked in. “These are my groupies,� Miner said of the two. And it was clear they are groupies as they described one summer when they limited their diet to Thelma’s for a few days. “We had you for breakfast and dinner,� exclaimed Tolles. “I lost three pounds on the Thelma’s diet. Because that’s all I ate!�

Arguably the most publicized new cultivar in recent years is Endless Summer, touted as having pink or blue mopheads on old (last year’s) and new wood (this’ year’s growth) most the summer.

Jinxbox pops in town It’s not often that a snap decision made out of necessity results in beautiful music, but that’s exactly how Jinxbox, Middlebury’s up-and-coming electronic pop group, was formed.

Ƹ. XLMRO MX [EW E VIEPP] KVIEX I\TIVMIRGI MR XIVQW SJ ǻKYVMRK SYX [LEX everyone’s strong suit is,” said Matias Gonzalez, the band’s 20-year-old producer. “Their second album is going to focus on a more cohesive sound.” The band's second album, is as-yet unnamed, but will center around an electronic pop sound. “Electronic is an incredibly wide genre, so just to narrow down I’d say it’s basically an electronic pop record, which doesn’t mean Top 40, it just means that it’s structured songs that are centered around melodies,” said Gonzalez.

Often it is tempting to just ‘press play’ for electronic music performances, which essentially means letting a computer play preprogrammed music. “When you go to a Katy Perry show, everything that’s not her voice is someone just pressing play on the instrumental track,” said Gonzalez. “We don’t want to do that.” Unfortunately, time is in short supply for these young musicians. While Kite and Rubin will remain in the area after the summer, London-Southern attends Bard College at Simon’s Rock. The trio are busy writing as much as possible before they part ways for the school year. Jinxbox’s next live show will be Friday, Aug. 19, 7 p.m. at the Marquis Theater and Saturday, Aug. 20, 6 p.m. at Two Brothers Tavern. Or check out their digital sound at soundcloud.com/jinxbox.

the movie CAPTAIN FANTASTIC — RUNNING TIME: 1:58 — RATING: R Let’s get one thing out of the way. “Captain Fantasticâ€? is the most inappropriate title of the year, and chances are it has kept audiences away from a serious movie that deserves to be seen. If you are a person who loves to explore ideas as a path to growth, you may well be fascinated by this story. If you are a person who instinctively and always wants to defend your own beliefs, you might well be annoyed by some of the extremes it presents. The story opens in a cavern of green wilderness in the mountains of the 5EGMÇťG 3SVXL[IWX & HIIV MW IEXMRK PIEZIW MR LMW TEVEHMWI ERH [I XIRWI immediately at the inevitable. The scene introduces us to Ben (Viggo Mortensen), who is teaching his many children how to feed themselves in the wilderness where they live without contact with people or towns. Writer/director Matt Ross takes just 15 minutes to sketch their happy family life before getting into complications.
With their mother Leslie (Trin Miller) sick in a hospital in New Mexico near her parents and the older boy showing signs of wanting to know a wider world, we see the changes that are about to visit this family. ;LIR ÇťREPP] XLI] XVEZIP SR XLIMV FYW XS XLIMV QSXLIVĆśW JYRIVEP [I [EXGL them trying to deal with the real world their parents rejected. 1SSO JSV E GLEVEGXIVMWXMGEPP] ÇťRI TIVJSVQERGI F] +VERO 1ERKIPPE EW 'IRĆśW JEXLIV MR PE[ ERH ÇťRI EGXMRK F] ,ISVKI 2EG0E] ERH 3MGLSPEW Hamilton as two of the boys who signal change.

That’s his way of putting an exclamation point after his character’s beliefs. The best part of this story is that there are no villains for us to dislike. That leaves us free to ask ourselves questions. Is it fair to shield our young from what we ourselves dislike most in the society around us? Should one man shape his children’s world in his own image? Is it fair to insist that our way is the right way? Or do we try to instill honesty and respect in the hope they will make wise choices on their own? Isn’t there arrogance in thinking we know what the right way is for all of them? These questions are the movie’s gift to its audiences. — Reviewed by Joan Ellis
the book RESTAURANT, A NOVEL — BY STANFORD PRITCHARD Stanford Pritchard weaves together hilarity and tragedy in his novel “Restaurant,� which captures the eccentric personalities of a small, seaside town during tourism season. Pritchard devotes attention and detail to setting the scene and introducing the readers to his characters. His writing style mimics the complex relationships between townspeople and tourists in his story. The style and pacing is thought provoking and sweeps the reader into the pace of Pritchard’s seaside town. The author is a Middlebury resident and has written novels, poetry, screenplays and magazine journalism. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in philosophy at Harvard and studying on a Rockefeller Fellowship at Chicago University, he wrote for The New York Review of Books, among other publications. He has published an update of William Strunk Jr.’s “The Elements of Style� and seen two of his nine plays staged on 42nd Street in New York City. His work has received wide acclaim in both local and statewide prizes and publications, and he has taught at the Breadloaf Young Writer’s Conference in Ripton. “Restaurant� was originally published in 2011 and recently a paperback edition was released. — Reviewed by Charmaine Lam
