Let them eat house

My previous post was about losing and finding home. So how can I pass up an event about eating your home?

Up in the city, the Contemporary Jewish Museum is hosting a Dec. 2 event called "Cake Building and Design." Participants will get to build their ideal homes in miniature out of cake. Yep, frosting, too.

Artist-baker Sarah Klein leads the class. Her other work includes drawings, videos and a performance series called "The Bread Project," in which, she says, "I bring the process of making bread to people in unexpected places." So one minute you're in your office lobby, and the next your hands are happily plunged into dough. Sounds like a great way to question the wisdom of our hectic lifestyles.

All I can say is: Bring this woman to Palo Alto!
