Predator was the first installment in the Predator franchise. It was directed by John McTiernan and was released in 1987, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the leader of a paramilitary rescue team who encountered a deadly technologically advanced alien warrior in a Central American rainforest. The warrior, known as the “Yautja,” stalked the soldiers in order to take them as trophies. Initial reviews of the film were mixed, but it has since been considered a classic of the science fiction genre. Predator was followed by three sequels: Predator 2 (1990), Predators (2010), and The Predator (2018).   

When thinking of “All Things Green” you’d be remiss to not include spinach. It’s easily one of my favourite vegetables. 

Creamed spinach is a dish that has origins in many cuisines from around the world. From Sweden to South Africa, spinach is a delicious and versatile leafy green vegetable that is a good source of Vitamin C, Iron, Magnesium, and Potassium. So, why not add some cream and butter to it? The secret ingredient for this recipe is the final touch of fresh-grated nutmeg. 

It is an honour to be featured amongst the many talented Fernie artists who have graced this column.

Art is expressed through shades of individualism mixed with the spectrum of infinity, so really has no restrictive boundaries. Writing as an art form takes a lot of effort. Rolling off the edge of your mind, thoughts are difficult to correlate into something intelligible. This constructive act of composition can be most gratifying when it all comes together.
