SUNCHOKE

Winter vegetables are a problem.  I am allergic to parsnips, tired of ever-present potatoes, refuse to pay $6 for a head of cauliflower, and am the only person left on the planet not addicted to kale.  This leaves the cabbage family, spinach –and Jerusalem artichokes.  I can’t remember the last time I ate time had this lovely tuber.  One of the best things about root vegetables is they are rarely bought excessively under-ripe, and since most folks roast or mash them, they are rarely too ripe.  That makes them easy to buy and uncommonly wasted.  Where are my keys? Road trip.  I am headed to the grocer, but you should head to this next Call for road trips.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Art Underground (Arlington, VA) for the Road Trip exhibit.  This theme is ripe with opportunity.  Don’t miss your chance…
