At first glance, the small house with an edible backyard garden on Hood Avenue in Sisters may be mistaken for a long-held private residence. But step inside the candle-lit cottage and you’ll discover one of Central Oregon’s most intimate dining experiences.
For eight years now, Jen’s Garden has created an ever-changing menu of Southern France-inspired cuisine, offered a la carte or as a three or five course wine-paired dinner. And building a solid reputation under the careful direction of owner and previous executive chef, T.R. McCrystal and his wife Jen.

Demons, a shitty living arrangement, the escapades in a stranger’s diary found in a gas station bathroom, politics, recipes, eating disorders and sex.
These are just a few of the topics you can find covered in the Bend Zine Library (pronounced zeen), located at the Workhouse at the old Iron Works. This library has grown, through the contributions of half a dozen zinesters, to about 1,000 little books. They’re housed in small plastic tubs on a small bookshelf in the front corner of the crowded Workhouse.

There is nobility in striving for a cause that seems foolhardy, toward a goal that, if reached, could bring greater joy and understanding to the world. That’s one of the many ideas bubbling through the sprawling Cloud Atlas, yet it’s also pretty clearly a way of thinking about the project itself.
David Mitchell’s 2004 novel seems like it should be unfilmable, with its six semi-stand-alone stories that span centuries from the 1840s to a 23rd-century post-apocalypse.
You’d have to be slightly nuts to think three different directors—The Matrix trilogy’s Andy and Lana Wachowski, and Run Lola Run’s Tom Tykwer—could wrangle that material into something that works as a cohesive three-hour cinematic experience instead of a frantic, over-ambitious cacophany.

This weekend, while the rest of us are floating rivers and having barbeques, 100 women will gather together in the mountains 13 miles west of Sisters. Their goal: learn how to change the world.
At the second annual Camp Catalyst retreat, held at the Caldera Arts Center, women and girls spend three days making art, practicing yoga and attending leadership workshops. The weekend is designed to spur a wave of change, at least in Central Oregon.
“At Camp Catalyst we try to give women tools to figure what their sense of purpose is, what passion they may…be cultivating, and how to put it into service,” said Camp Catalyst Founder Amanda Stuermer, who runs Shine Global, the Bend nonprofit behind the retreat.
