3rds & 4ths

We don’t have leftovers at our house.  Any additional food that isn’t scarfed up by my ravenous 13-year-old or my string-bean skinny husband ends up being eaten as a lunch within a couple of days or as an additional ingredient in dinner that week.  I’m not sure why people object to leftovers so much.  Maybe it is a marketing problem.  We should take a nod from the British and start giving dishes made from leftovers great names like Bubble and Squeak.  This next Call is your chance to have a showing in London.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Cork Street Open Exhibition held at the Gallery at Cork Street in London. Enter almost any media online for as little as £20 (~$30 USD) for your shot at this London show! Don’t miss out…

Learn more about the Cork Street Open Exhibition!Updates to the jury list are found here.

Louis Singh says, “St Ives in the 1970s was a somewhat lazier place than today. Late morning deals were customarily made with cigarette in one hand and glass of sherry in the other. Back then my father had the Wills Lane gallery which ensured my mind was constantly flooded with images of the St Ives School as soon as my eyes had opened.

“When I was ten my parents opened the Beaux Arts gallery in Bath which continued to nurture these Cornish roots. These days with a sister gallery in London, minus the sherry, not much has changed. I busy myself by keeping the gallery from growing old by steering some youth and raw contemporary talent, towards its doors.”

I like simple foods.  As I get older, I cook and eat fewer and fewer complicated recipes and foods.  I have come to appreciate the individual flavors of foods.  Dinner at my house is frequently a small cut of beef, chicken or fish with two oven roasted veggies on the side.  Simple.  Fewer and fewer sauces.  But, then again, I prefer simplicity in a lot of ways.  I rarely even wear prints unless they are simple geometrics.  This next call makes a geometric impact for a great end look and mission.  Please give this opportunity some serious thought…

Even my animals have very specific food likes and dislikes.  One of my pups, Pepper, a 7 year old Lab/German Shepard mix loves crunchy veggies.  She will beg for carrots, broccoli stalks and potatoes like she is dying of starvation.  White grapes are the ultimate treat.  However, a chunk of banana will be spit back out at my feet within mere seconds.   I have created a monster of sorts, I suppose.  Animals.  Gotta love the personality.  This next Call wants to see how you capture the personality of the animals around you.  Take a look…

Apparently I speak food-ese.  In the South, we speak in metaphors and euphemisms so often that I forget that not everyone gets it.  While working on a real estate deal recently, my agent said, “Do you need to consult someone before we sign the contract?”  My response was, “Nope, I’m the top banana.  It’s a peach of a house, and if some prune doesn’t like it…Well, that’s just how the cookie crumbles.”  She replied, “Did you miss lunch?”  Hehehe.  True story, I promise.  This next Call is all about the Reality & Metaphor of it all.  Take a look…

I’ve been busy with a new adventure, and it has required a bit of traveling.  This past week, I have spent a few days at my mother’s house.  When my husband and child accompany me, mother goes grocery shopping, but since it was just me, we ate out.  When I called her today to let her know that she’d be seeing a lot of me over the next few weeks.  Her only response was, “Well, I guess I’ll have to go grocery shopping.”  Family, gotta love ’em.  This next Call is all about your family.

a cold one

My husband usually picks out his own beer.  He’s a home brewer and more than a little picky about his commercially made beer.  But, on occasion, I pick up a “Pick 6” pack from the grocery store.  My rule of thumb is to pick 3 beers I’ve actually seen him consume, and the other 3 I pick out based on the design of the label.  No joke.  Works EVERY time.  If you understand beer labels, then you might also know why it is no surprise when people judge a book by its cover.  This next Call is just for you…

I am addicted to No Pudge Fudge brownie mix.  I’ve mentioned it before, I know.  They are the best brownies I’ve ever eaten (from a mix), and they are all natural.  It is the shortest ingredient list ever.  I’ve tried the original, raspberry and cappuccino, but I still haven’t tried the mint because I have to order them and have them shipped to me.  Food by mail isn’t usually my thing, but I may give in eventually.  However, in this next Call, no shipping is a HUGE advantage in my book.  Check it out…

I used to be addicted to “snack size,” pre-portioned foods.  I thought they were the perfect solution to my portioning problem.  However, I learned that the innocent little packages led me to eating multiples.  Plus, the extra packaging and cost don’t sit well either.  So, I’m back to counting cheese puffs and Fritos® again.  Let’s hope the small size of the artwork for the next Call creates a feed frenzy too.  Check it out…

How is it that I love soy nuts and edamame, but cannot stand tofu?  I’ve tried it firm and silken and every other variety.  Ick.  I just can’t handle the texture.  Something about it seems, well, wrong.  But, I didn’t used to like ginger, beets or aspargus, and now I eat each of them regularly.  Maybe I’ll warm up to tofu.  You know Iowa is famous for corn, but they grow lots of soybeans too.  This next Call hails from Iowa.  Take a look…

I was out of town this week, and traveling makes eating out necessary.  But, I was trying to behave so I’ll fit back into my Spring clothes again soon.  At one restaurant, I ordered a California Chicken Salad which included mixed greens, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, blue cheese, candied pecans, croutons, grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette.  Mine was sans the blue cheese & pecans, but I am still wondering what made it Californian.  The oranges?  I still don’t know.  Check out this next Call with a name that references place, but it isn’t really the theme.  Interesting…
