CALL for ENTRIES: Infected 4

Posted on November 19, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

feelin’
LEMONY

I ran across Buddha’s finger a couple of years ago. What a bizarre, other-worldly looking fruit. It is a type of citron and has the aroma of a lemon. It makes great candied peel and is fantastic for flavoring vodka, or infusing oil or sugar. The best part is that the pith doesn’t have the bitter taste that is commonly in the white of the lemon. I would love to have a keep just for ornamental reasons since fruit tends to last longer “on the vine” than flowers do. The fruit of this tree just doesn’t look real. The next Call wants just the opposite–subject matter that appears real but is not. This is a science fiction lovers dream…

CALL for ENTRIES: Out of Bounds

VINAIGRETTE

I eat in my car A LOT. This has always been true. Once upon a time, those meals consisted of a generous amount of fast food of the drive thru variety. However, as my tolerance for processed food has waned but my travel for the job has increased, I find that packing food for the road has become more and more common. Eating a decent meal is no longer an out of bounds activity for the car. I do pull over to eat, but my seat belt has the permanent aroma of Italian dressing. This next Call wants to know what YOU consider out of bounds. This is a great opportunity and a beautiful space…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fine Line Creative Arts Center (St. Charles, IL) for Out of Bounds at the Kavanagh Gallery. The theme is broadly interpreted. Take a look…

WILD

Have you ever eaten a persimmon? I am headed out for a road-trip soon, and I am super excited about eating persimmon pudding in Indiana. Persimmons are typically cultivated in the southeastern U.S. but grow WILD throughout much of Indiana. I think their love of this weird little fruit has resulted in some of the best uses, including the notorious pudding. Give a persimmon a try. Make sure it is ripe though; trust me. This next Call IS ripe and from Indiana. (I know. Bad. Sorry.) This is a great call…

CALL for ENTRIES: Tiny Book Show

Posted on November 10, 2015November 10, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

soul FOOD

I love an amuse-bouche as much as the next foodie. I love tapas & small plate menus too. But, I don’t understand the tiny food trends I am seeing. The videos of tiny food being made on tiny appliances? I am clearly missing something. I cannot find a point to the concept of tiny food except for the cute factor. Where food is concerned, more is almost inevitably better in my house. But there is a time & place for everything. This next Call is the perfect way to dive into tiny works. Now to learn how to bind my work…

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…

PEPPER
not ground

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…
