THAI
me up

Cookbook authors have my number. Make the food look fantastic on the cover, and I’ll buy it. Yes, I judge books (some books) by their covers. I recent bought quick & easy thai. I’m just going to say that my judgement of the cover resulted in sticky rice with mangoes. It was worth it. This next Call encourages you to judge books by their covers as well. Sometimes is just WORKS…

BREAKFAST
in bed

Gender rolls are “squishy” at my house. My husband does most of the cooking. I am the disciplinarian. Even our mail comes bizarrely addressed since I didn’t take his last name. It works for us. It is what we know. And, well, the food is good. 🙂 I use #imarriedforthefood a lot. This next Call explores gender identity & the experience of being trans. If this isn’t the Call for you, please pass it along…

my
BLACK BEAN
habit

Ethnic grocery stores are gateway habits for foodies. My favorite Cuban cookbook led me to my local Hispanic grocery in search of ingredients for authentic congri, and I came home with products I cannot pronounce and for which I have no use. So exciting. I appreciate being introduced to new food organically, so to speak. *snicker* This Gallery discovers artists for future shows from entries to open calls like this one. Organically…

CALL for Entries: Still Life / Life Still

Posted on January 30, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

ATE hours later

Cooking has moved into slow motion in my house. As much as I want to hurry Spring along, I am reminded of our current Winter status by the icy wind that greets me at my front door each morning. So, my slow cooker lives in a perpetual circuit from counter to refrigerator to sink to counter to refrigerator to sink–almost daily. Tonight is lentil soup with bacon. This next Call wants to see what happens when life stills completely. An intriguing take on a traditional form…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Still Life / Life Still. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. This theme leaves room for the traditionalist as well as those with a vastly different point of view. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Still Life / Life Still

The study of inanimate objects; subject matter, placement and compositional balance imply meaning that surmount everyday functionality. Historically, a still life composition is an array of commonplace objects, inert and set in space. These objects often include natural components such as plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers accompanied by man made objects like dishes, boxes, mirrors and vases within an interior setting at eye level like a table top. Darkroom Gallery wants to contextually explore the Still Life; some may take a traditional approach. Others may see Still Life/Life Still as a vehicle to explore new artistic possibilities, in form, function or to convey political or emotive meanings. Objects caught in their natural surroundings & documented on the fly can make just as poignant an image, i.e., Life Still. — from darkroomgallery.com

ALL GREEN

Cilantro is a polarizing subject in my family. It is all black and white–absolutely no gray area. For more than 1/2 of my extended family, cilantro is nausea-inducing at the mere thought. I, however, cannot imagine life without tomatillo & cilantro salsa. (It contains nearly equal parts of each.) I try not to judge them. When I was younger, I always thought ginger tasted the same as I imagine lemon-scented furniture polish might taste. Now I love it on nearly anything. This next Call is an excellent reason to see all of the world in black and white. You be the judge…

I get a lot of questions about living without gluten. When I tell waitstaff at a restaurant, I am met with “I’m sorry” or the sad-trombone-look-of-pity almost every time. Don’t cry for me Argentina. GF eating IS what you make it. It has made my family more adventurous, open and creative when it comes to food. Feminism is the same; it IS what YOU make it–good & bad. This next Call wants to know what YOU make of it. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Feminist Sex

Posted on January 11, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

WIENERS,
anyone?

How did operating a grill become a feminist issue? I can’t tell you how many female friends I have that defer grilling activities to the men in their lives under the guise of not knowing “how to do it”. Really? Amongst this group of women who are financiers, scientists, diplomats & artists, no one can operate a grill? Please. Maybe they are just faking it, like me, to avoid the additional work occasionally. *Shhh* This next Call has NOTHING to do with the grilling of meat and EVERYTHING to do with feminism. Take a look…
