MUNCHIES

I kicked cable TV to the curb. Because we travel for work, no one really watches specific shows very often. So, we have a Hulu account & Chromecast PLUS there’s a Redbox® just down the mountain. The result? Now we watch more movies and consume more popcorn. Isn’t that the law? A movie must be accompanied by popcorn, right? This next Call could be an excellent way to put my new movie-watching obsession to good use. Take a look…

E-WORD

My family is tired of eggs (aka the e-word). We have lost access to farm fresh eggs temporarily, and as a result, our 3 dozen eggs per week have become a chore. And, we are not quite sure how to do breakfast without eggs. We have the occasional pancake day, but eggs (scrambled, fried & poached) are the norm. We are trying to figure out how to break our food patterns & consider non-traditional breakfasts. Patterns are captivating for a reason, and this next Call wants to see yours. Investigate this opportunity…

in a PICKLE

I’ve been studying food preservation, from pickling & water-bath canning to vacuum-sealing & salt-packing. I’ve run across a huge amount of admirable testing, experimentation and success amongst food-enthusiasts, homemakers, homesteaders, preppers & gardners alike. I am open to almost anything culinary at least once, but some folks are out there just purposely trying to make food, well, wrong. Koolickles. I am almost beyond words this time. Koolickles are created by soaking dill pickles in a mixture of Kool-Aid® & pickle brine. Being open doesn’t always work in my favor, but this next Call definitely does. They are open to almost anything, and it doesn’t have to be Koolickles, I promise…

TAMALE

I love tamales. My life has been dotted with expert tamale makers–the Mexican version. Then I tried Guatemalan tamales. Oh my. The differences are subtle, but important. In Guatemalan tamales, the corn used to make the masa (dough) is not sweet, and they are usually wrapped in leaves, not corn husks. Tamales can come in red & black varieties, both sweet & savory, both large & small. If are the winner of this next Call, they pick up the tab for your ticket & hotel to the opening. Be sure to pick up a tamale while you are in Guatemala! Take a look…

EGGPLANT

My kiddo just turned 16. For his birthday, he didn’t ask for pizza or burgers; he wanted Indian food. So proud. Since his palate took a huge left turn a couple of years ago, eating out with him has been a voyage of firsts. The first taste of Baingan ka Bharta (a spicy mash of eggplant & tomatoes) & Goat Korma were adorable. And hopeful. Finally I can rest knowing that I might have put another foodie out into the world that is willing to eat adventurously. This next Call could be a first opportunity for you at the first show for this gallery. Investigate…

garden duty

We all eat massive amounts of corn. Since my husband’s Celiac diagnosis, we are a gluten-free household, and it took a lot of work. But, now it is second nature and, really, no big deal. But corn? If I had to try to cut corn out of our diets, we would starve; it is in EVERYTHING. In 2012, the USDA claimed 88% of U.S. corn is GMO. I’m not okay with that, so we are planning an attempt to grow our own soon. Meanwhile, did you know that corn does excellent double duty as a trellis for growing peas? Plus, the peas supply much-need nitrogen to the soil for the corn. Don’t you just love nature? It is in the nature of this next Call to offer DOUBLE the prizes. Make us proud…

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes…. Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.” — Arshile Gorky

ICE

Can someone bring me a mango ice shave? I have been desperately trying not to whine about the heat, but you could stave off my whining with a shave ice. Really. Don’t bring me a snow cone; it isn’t the same thing. It is about the location of the syrup. In a shave ice/ice shave, the shaving creates a snow-like texture that absorbs the syrup. In a snow cone, the ice is crushed causing all the syrup to settle to the bottom. Don’t try a shave ice unless you are prepared to never eat a snow cone again. Really. You can’t keep your hot weather, but don’t keep your hot pics. This next Call is a great distraction. No shipping required…

I have a tattoo. It is apple-shaped. I know–food, again. It was really meant to be about food, technically. I went to New York City, aka the Big Apple, for my graduate school interview, and decided to get a little, nickel-sized apple tattoo to remind me of my trip to the Big Apple. Yes, I was sober. Turns out that I’m a bleeder, so it is my only tattoo. But, I really love them. This next Call wants your take on tattoos. Take a look…
