Under the ancient English Common law, land was originally considered the property of the reigning monarch. Over the centuries this changed to private ownership of land, which included certain rights, privileges, and obligations. We still use the term “real,” however, a relic of the ancient origins of land ownership.

The terms “real property,” “real estate,” and “realtor,” probably derive from the Latin word meaning “royal.” El Camino Real, which runs the whole length of the San Francisco peninsula and was established to connect the Spanish-established missions, is a Spanish term meaning “the royal road.”

,"1 Ê / Ê " SCOUTING FOR FOOD ... Collect- ing food for the needy is a tradition for Boy Scout Troop 57. Troop 57 collected nearly two tons of food this year and brought it to a collection station at Middlefield and Charleston roads that in total received 10,500 pounds of groceries, according to Scoutmaster Gor- don Craig. The Scouts on Nov. 16 had picked up bags of groceries from residents’ porches in the Old Palo Alto, Duveneck/St. Francis, Community Center, Leland Manor and Professorville neighborhoods. The food was donated to Second Harvest Food Bank.

“You’ve got to keep them away from violent color. You can’t have exciting things,” he says. A class at Moldaw on a recent afternoon is all about purples and pinks and pale blues. Weinstock lays out soft pastel crayons on the art table and places a photo of a violet sunset over water on a small easel. He urges his students to gather round. Nearby in the warmly lit activity room, a board lists other events of the day: exercise with Eve, brain fitness, armchair travel. Pumpkins decorate an upright piano. Four people, including one in a wheel- chair, join the drawing class. “You want to play?” Weinstock asks gently of two others, who opt to watch in silence. Around the table, there isn’t much talking at all, but the students seem content to quietly draw as Weinstock guides them in copying the photo. Many have surprisingly sure hands. The students sketch the large elements in the photo: rocks, a tree, the sky. Weinstock urges them to use both the side and edge of the crayon, to enjoy the texture and focus on the main elements rather than worry- ing about detail. “You can’t make any mis- takes,” he says. “Whatever you see you can put down, in very simple form.” He smiles. “That’s it. That’s great.” “Where is it?” one man asks about the photo. “Sunset on Devil’s Elbow State Park in Warren Weinstock, left, teaches a drawing class with pastels to residents in the memory-care unit at Moldaw Residences in Palo Alto.

Weinstock is always happy to lead visitors on a lengthy walk through many halls and corners of the building, describing the artwork on the walls. Outside his front door is a boat-and-water scene he painted, with the boat named “Annie” after his grand- daughter. Every six months he puts up a different painting. Back in class, the session wraps up after about 45 minutes. “Next time I’ll show you how to make detail,” Weinstock says, handing around paper towels for the students to wipe pastel residue off their fingers. Trudeau asks one of the men who had only watched what he thought of the class. “It was inter- esting,” he says. One of the drawing students, Caroline, says she always enjoys the sessions. “You get out and see people.” The mood is still peaceful as the students disperse. This ambiance is one of the greatest gifts an art class brings to a memory-care unit, Trudeau says. “It’s very med- itative, a way to focus energy.” She adds, “The main goal is the process, not the product.” N

His solution: Instead, use a recipe for beignets, the deep-fried French pastry made famous in New Orleans. “I realized, probably having had them or seen them, that beignets are perfect for it because they puff up nice and rich and pillowy so you can shove jam on the inside no problem,” he said. “And they’re super simple. You just roll the dough out, you cut it into whatever shape you want, whether it be a circle or even easier, I just take a pizza cutter and cut out squares. You fry them up and then you shove them full of yummy goodness.” Other holiday food mash-ups include making sufganiyot with pumpkin puree or replacing the jelly with cranberry sauce. Though Hanukkah is also about I fried, there’s usually protein present: brisket, a tough cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal. Drucker said he usually braises the brisket, “slow and low” in beef broth in the oven at around 300 degrees.

“I come from a long line of gardeners. My grandfather had wonderful gardens,” Gilbert said. “My parents as well, they were both specialists in fuchsias and be- gonias. Neither of which I grow!” Gilbert said she really enjoys the close proximity of her garden. “I’m able to go out there and keep everything groomed within an inch of its life,” she said. “I enjoy gardening (on my balcony). I like having the color out there.” Typically, Gilbert said she uses the space on her balcony for flowering plants, but she has tried using edible plants. “I have a kumquat tree that will actually have quite a bit of fruit in three to four months,” she said. “I did tomatoes one year, but they get so ugly.” Gilbert said the appearance of her balcony garden has changed throughout the years, as she tried out different color schemes and designs. First, Gilbert said she started with a primarily blue-green theme for her pots, because the trim on her balcony is dark green. “All of the pots and saucers were (blue-green). But in the winter, when not as much is blooming, it was not colorful,” Gilbert said. “So I reorganized and replaced some of my pots with Talavera ceramic, which is hand- decorated in lots of wild patterns and colors.” Height, like color, is varied in Gilbert’s garden. “You can make the most of your space by incorporat- ing shelves, flower boxes, hanging baskets, as well as On her balcony at The Hamilton with no water access, Carol Gilbert planted bromeliads, which prefer misting and potted plants,” she said. light watering.
