I have my eye on a prize, of sorts, and I am able to keep focused on the prize by finding inspiration anywhere I can.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Victoria Veedell, suggests that inspiration can be found both around the world or in your own backyard.  Or, you could adopt Veedell’s work as your inspiration.  I am taking a trip to Shanghai via oil on canvas.  Join me…

COOKING in paper

I dislike washing dishes, just like everyone else.  I have had a dishwasher for the past 10 years, but I still try to be conservative in usage.   But as of June 1, we are downsizing to an apartment that does not have a dishwasher.  And, while I will still avoid disposables, like paper plates, I am a strong advocate of cooking “en papillote”.  Not only is it a great way to produce tender, flavor-infused dishes, it also produces one less dirty dish.  This next Call also extols the praises of working with paper. Take a look…

I am what I am, and this week, I am a spinach lover.  To be honest, I am a spinach lover every week, but this week I have had spinach quiche & spinach salad without a wilted leaf to be seen.  Because of the popularity of aquaponics and the number of artisan growers in my area, every day is spinach season for me (happy dance), but this next Call just has a few more days left.  Don’t miss this deadline…

fiesta ANACARDO

I made a little party mix as finger food for my teenager yesterday.  It is his favorite snack, and I’m a sucker for the “please” of it all.  The reviews are in and while I got I got bonus points for substituting cayenne for garlic, apparently not including cashews is unforgivable.  Who knew something so small would make such a difference?  This next Call is counting on all things small.  Investigate for yourself…

I am not an avid fan of drinking water, but my health requires it.  Since the wildfires, I find that our water tastes different due to additives to protect us from bacteria that may have grown during the week water was not circulating.  It isn’t just a beverage.  It washes every dish. It is the foundation for coffee, tea, chicken stock and even poached eggs, mashed potatoes and steamed spinach.  Never take clean water for granted.  This next call requires the use of water media for all submissions.  Take a look…

Anchovy paste is a standard item in my pantry, but it’s because I have a Caesar salad addiction.  Otherwise, I don’t know a single person that eats anchovies outside of my family.  Then, I was sitting in a pizza joint in Hendersonville, NC when I heard someone say, “I’m here for the anchovy, black olive pie.”  See, I am not alone –never alone.  There are benefits to being alone at times though.  This next Call is the perfect opportunity to go solo.  Don’t miss this chance…

“When lost, it feels like we are going in circles.
When there is great accomplishment, it feels as if
we have come full circle.” — Marissa J. Menefee

•

I find myself rehearsing half-hearted apologies for the decisions to step off the edge of the earth, or so it feels, in pursuit of adventure and truly living in the coming years.  I am taking baby steps toward a goal, but feel an immediate, obligatory sense of guilt creep up on me after every accomplishment.  Proud but guilty. Excited but apologetic. Emotional semantics. 

Seeing the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Marissa J. Menefee, I thought, “this artist understands the circles in which I spin and spin and spin.”  Thanks, Marissa.
