CELERY

Even as a kid, my tastes were a little off center.  My father used to chop carrots for me so that I could dip them in celery salt, conveniently contained in the spice container cap.  I don’t recall using celery salt on anything else either.  So strange.  Celery sticks got garlic salt, BTW.  Neither get either now, ha.  This next Call wants your perspective on childhood.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the A. Smith Gallery (TX) for childhood.  Everyone starts out there, so the theme couldn’t be more relevant.  Be inspired…

We consume a lot of extra virgin olive oil, but I have found yet another reason to love this elixir.  It has topical applications too.   I suppose it should occur to me that it would make fantastic lotions and eye creams, but I always thought of it as an ingredient –not for use in pure form.  This next Call is as virginal as my new make remover.  Take a look…

One in Herself

 

“According to the book, Villa of Mysteries… by Katherine Bradway, the original definition of the term, ‘Virgin’ describes ‘a woman who is one-in-herself, belonging to herself alone, being her own mistress,’ and that the ‘virgin goddesses symbolized women who were complete in themselves and not merely counterparts of male consorts. They were capable of developing their own wholeness through integration, realizing their separate qualities inside themselves rather than through projection onto other persons to whom they were related.’  One in Herself invites artists to present work that expands our ideas of virginity and of what it means to be a woman, “who is one-in-herself.”–from womanmade.org

NUTRITION

I have a food tattoo.  Not surprised, are you?  It wasn’t meant to be a food tattoo.  I spent a week in NYC while in the area for my grad school interviews.  So, I went to the Big Apple and decided the perfect souvenir would be to come home with a little apple.  Ridiculous, I know.  I’ve thought about expanding on the food theme, but I’d rather spend my money on food than tattoos, ha.  Plus, I’m a wimp when it comes to pain.  This next Call is interested on what’s on the body, not just tattoos.  Take a look…

NEW TREATS

My “pup” will eat anything.  Pepper, my four-legged child, is going to be a pup of ten-years-old soon.  As she gets older, there are fewer and fewer things she should eat.  The food she loves is of the cheapest, most fast-food sort of variety.  We limit her people food to fresh veggies & the occasional egg, but her dog food and treats have taken a huge turn.  The cheapest of food causes the worst of skin allergies, but for the love of this animal, I’ll probably be making her food and treats before long.  This next Call is for the love of animals, not just dogs.  Here’s your chance to make a difference, but they are taking the percentage from their share…

White chocolate is not chocolate.  Every year I have to remind a few folks.  Those cocoa bean solids are the defining issue.  I’ll eat just a kiss, or a smooch if you will, of white chocolate each year.  But when I say, “I’m craving chocolate”, the answer is never white-chocolate-macadamia-nut anything.  Just to be clear.  Consider this my yearly white chocolate PSA.  And to be honest, I’d rather have my smooches & kisses a very different way –like this Call.  Take a look…

“Brancusi did it. Rodin did it. Even Tamara de Lempicka did it.

“The kiss has left its mark on many works of art, from the stone carvings of Constantin Brancusi to its marble predecessor sculpted by Rodin. With her kiss, Tamara de Lempicka delivered a woman swept off her feet by a high society gentleman, clad in an oily top hat, against the cubist backdrop of a city port. Each kiss carries its own sentiment.

“When lips meet, they promise temporary escape or a lifetime of devotion. When tongues touch, they deliver notes to our lovers, detailing desire or a lack thereof.” –from onthegroundfloor.co

BLUES

I have broken my own blue-food rule.  I have ranted & raved for years about food coloring.  I have forever sworn off any faux food colored any shade of blue, but I have given in.  This year will be my very first time in my life that I will have a “real” Christmas tree (living, as opposed to artificial).  So, I decided that all the ornaments and decorations should be “real” too (read handmade or homemade).  I couldn’t resist the most beautiful electric-blue gum drops I have ever seen.  I am testing them out as a sweet garland.  Forgive the hypocrisy, but I promise not to eat them.  This next Call is another non-edible use for all things blue.  Maybe this one’s for you…
