a sea of
BLACK TRUFFLE

What happens when food imitates visual art? At Art Basel Hong Kong in 2015, that question was answered by 10 stellar chefs. The image to the left is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon combination of French sea bass, seasonal black truffle, celery mousse line & Malabar pepper sauce to recreate Zao Wou-ki’s dark abstract work. This dish, and at least 9 others in this vein, were available at restaurants in the Hong Kong area back in March. I can’t know how tasty it was, but, my oh my, how beautiful. This next Call wants your surreal work, but not the culinary version. What was it Benjamin Franklin said? ““Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.“ This exhibit is longer than 3 days, so hold the fish…

SKINNY & FAT

125 calories per ounce. Hikers often aim to only pack foods that have a caloric count of at least 125 calories an ounce. Can you imagine? How many people do you know that eat celery because they believe it is an negative calorie food? Priorities. I am not an avid hiker. Honestly, any hike that takes me more than a day is probably out of the question. But even then I would have to pack food. I would be grateful for calorically dense food, if only because I would have less to carry, ha. This next Call hails from the ultimate hiking mecca. Take a look…

MUSTARD
fiends

Every last member of my family is a mustard fiend. There are rarely ever appearances of plain yellow mustard in my house. Dijon is the mustard of choice for the majority of the family. And while I have a soft spot for homemade, hot Chinese mustard, I rarely indulge (too lazy to make it). Brown mustard gets an occasional at bat around here on a whim, but Dijon is our comfort zone, our fall back, our home base if you will. This next gallery is a little like home base for me. Please don’t miss this opportunity…

SQUASH

While most of the world is obsessed with pumpkin-flavor, not actual pumpkin, I am reveling in the other winter squashes — butternut, acorn & patty pan. My farmers market sells these squash, in season, for $1 each. Split & roast one of each squash, scoop out the insides and puree through the food processor, add a little salt, pepper, garlic and a touch of curry or a few red pepper flakes, and the resulting squash soup is divine. It looks like baby food, but the flavor is unbelievable. I makes lunch for all three of us for at least two or three days. Squash, just squash. It’s a solo act, just like this next Call. Take a look…

EATS

My grocery bill is absurd. I’m not having dinners of foie gras & truffles. In fact, most of our meals are vegetable laden. I try to stop by the farmers market at my local apple orchard. This week, it was $25 for apples, onions, 4 sweet potatoes, 3 bell peppers & 2 eggplant. As you might imagine, I then proceeded to spend a fortune at the grocery store to supplement my farmers market finds. I have a family of only three people + my four-legged child. I buy in-season, cost-conscious items. I consider myself a master food shopper, and I can barely hang on to a healthy menu. How are people without access to locally-grown produce options supposed to avoid eating processed food? The economics of hunger are devastating. This next Call is an excellent use of YOUR $25. Take a look…

CHERRIES

Did you know there is an edible form of the dogwood? Cornus Mas, aka Cornelius Cherry Dogwood, produces small ruby red or yellow fruit that makes great jam. The fruit is a common Iranian snack when salted, and I’ve even heard rumors that a few home brewers have been make wine from the fruit. I’m thinking that finding the jam might be the easiest start. In the meantime, let’s celebrate the non-edible dogwood by making art for this next Call. Take a look…

the
SPAGHETTI
incident

I spent my childhood as the family cook & server. I was raised by a single father that couldn’t cook. I think he realized early on that ANY talent I had in the kitchen would surpass his own. Even before I could cook with aid of a step stool, I was already setting the table and serving dinner. I remember serving a plate of spaghetti and tomato sauce to my father, already seated, who quickly discovered you shouldn’t trust a 4 year old to secure a drop leaf table. Ha. he called it the “spaghetti incident” until the day he died. This next Call wants to see how your imagination frames your early memories –food optional. Handle this theme thoughtfully…

PEPPER

My chicken stock has been a little off lately. I make chicken stock at least once a week, and I thought I was doing everything the same, but all the dishes I make with stock of been a little off as well. The chicken soup & casseroles & pasta dishes were all missing something. Peppercorns. I ran out of peppercorns and used fresh ground pepper in their place. It amazes me that such a small thing can make such a big difference. This next show wants your small things to make a big difference in their next exhibit. Take a look…

The biggest perk of this job is food gifts. It seems when you guys trip across a strange-colored fruit, have extra figs from your yard or find a mustard to die for, I am on the top of your list.

The Gift
You Never
Wanted

We are often given gifts that are unsightly, unseemly, or straight out of a nightmare. Often these “gifts” stay with us, sometimes for the better. The gifts we never wanted take many forms, both physically and emotionally. In the end we have to ask—are gifts given for the sender or the receiver?

For the exhibition The Gift You Never Wanted, Non-Fiction Gallery seeks works of art that explore the idea of the gift as a burden or a blessing.

MEDIA: Open to all media

HOOPS

I have plastic envy. Hoop houses are sprouting up all over town as pre-planning for chances of upcoming frost. Last year our first snow came in October. Locally lots of folks protect their late Summer plantings from possible early frost while also giving them space to start seedlings in colder weather. Once the ground is frozen, installation becomes a much more complicated project. My house hangs on the side of a mountain. The only flat space I have for a hoop house is my gravel driveway, ha. Jealous of plastic –never thought I’d have that problem. This next Call will hopefully make you the object of the jealous. Take a look…
