Patt Morrison Asks: Memorial man Peter Walker
![Berkeley landscape architect Peter Walker has designed bigger projects than the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-9-11-memorial-pictures,0,1314551.photogallery">9/11 memorial in New York</a>, but probably none has carried more weight. The opening of the eight-acre plaza Sunday marks 10 years since the terrorist attacks, and almost as many years since Walker joined with architect Michael Arad to finalize a monument for ground zero. The design -- down to plaza lights like the model Walker is holding -- demanded as much attention to emotion as to aesthetics and engineering. With work on One World Trade Center and the museum still in progress, it is the memorial that will first meet the public eye and, if it succeeds, affix in the public heart the harrowing sorrow and transcendent memory of 9/11 for as long as such monuments endure.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-09/64626096-09213309-187104.jpg "Berkeley landscape architect Peter Walker has designed bigger projects than the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-9-11-memorial-pictures,0,1314551.photogallery\">9/11 memorial in New York</a>, but probably none has carried more weight.

Corn Porn: Recipe For Corn Smut Custard
![It's usually not hard to find takers for test kitchens. Pot brownies? Packed fire escape. Ostrich on the grill with gator tacos? Full backyard. But when I needed a couple of willing palates to taste-test huitlacoche (aka corn smut, aka "Mexican truffles," aka the Devil's Corn), even my usuals were conspicuously absent. Two friends decided on a clambake instead, two others decided to get fancy at Union League, my editor informed me that he knew "all he needed to know about corn smut" and my boyfriend suddenly had an inescapable meeting. At 8 p.m. On a Friday.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-09/64723129-13122721.jpg "It's usually not hard to find takers for test kitchens. Pot brownies? Packed fire escape.
