A WARM CHEESE DAY
Comfort is defined by macaroni and cheese. Rather, the severity of the need for comfort is defined by macaroni and cheese. A beautiful melange of swiss with a touch of pungent blue served over campanelle means I’ve had a triumphant day and comfort is a bonus. Velveeta over elbows or Stouffer’s frozen means the day has sucked, and I need flannel pjs and a frozen drink with an umbrella. This next Call wants to hear about your creature comforts, or at least your view of them. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries from the Workhouse Arts Center (Lorton, VA outside D.C.) for Creature Comforts. This is a great theme, reasonable fee, respected jurors and a historic venue. Please do not miss this opportunity!
