CALL for ENTRIES: Digital Dimensions

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

PIZZA
hot off the printer

I need a food replicator. The replicator from the Quark Bar (Star Trek) would be a stand out in any kitchen. Although I have to admit that using 3D printing technology for food gives me pause. I can’t wrap my brain around the ingredients that could take so little space that it would fit in my kitchen but yet be able to create an almost infinite variety of foods. Freaky, no? There must be science I am just not comprehending. But, I have to admit the pizza pictured here doesn’t look half bad. This next Call wants to see how YOU use the technology. Fascinating…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Niza Knoll Gallery (Denver, CO) for Digital Dimensions. Enter for as little as $10. If this isn’t for you, please be sure to share. Take a look…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo Show Opportunity

DINNER FOR ONE
and one alone

I don’t share well. I don’t share anything well, but food is the worst. I am not proud of it. Maybe it is an only child thing. I can logically know that a dish will be too much for me, but I will still not agree to share instead. If I agree to a lets-get-one-of-each-and-share deal, we have to quite literally cut them in half upon arrival & exchange the halves. Otherwise I spend the meal obsessing about whether or not my husband will eat more than his half. I fall short of counting french fries–but just barely. So, my submission to this next Call will likely be a solo one (although my better self sometimes triumphs); however, you are welcome to contemplate sharing. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Red

Posted on July 5, 2015July 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

blush

Red is undeniably my favorite color. I find myself drawn to red tones in food, from salmon to cherry Jell-o, Bloody Mary’s to pomegranates. Go figure. But recently I tripped across golden raspberries. How had I missed them all these years? They are slightly sweeter & milder than the traditional red variety, and I am willing to admit that I like them better in some instances. I feel like such a traitor. The next Call is the perfect red celebration. I like this group exhibit…

green-eyed
HUNGER

I prefer my food naked. I love food in its simplest forms. Sauces all seem to sweet or to salty lately. Just a hint of added flavors like ginger, lemon & the ever-lovely sesame oil are appreciated. Yes, ceasing smoking 18+ months ago is partly to thank. But after weeks on the road, I crave asian-slaw-topped avocados like these from Coffee & Quinoa–not comfort food. Nakedness is good; this next Call echoes that thought. Seize this opportunity…

SMART
food

I am food brave–usually. I can muster the courage to try bizarre foods, but I’ve gotten pretty squeamish lately. I am going to just admit this: I am more than mildly addicted to the new TV show iZombie. I got rid of cable TV in my home in favor of Hulu about 6 months ago, and I thought that would be the end of any regular show watching. Wrong. I found iZombie BECAUSE OF Hulu. But, as you might imagine, zombies eat brains. Now I realize that they aren’t real human brains, and I realize people indulge in all kinds of brain delicacies” from jello to calves and goat and more. But, no. I just can’t. So apparently I am not open to “anything”, but this next Call IS open to any theme. Take a look…

CUKES
for cubs?

In our continuing efforts to downsize in preparation for “tiny living”, I downsized myself out of garden space. We moved back to our previous 2-acre, mountain-top abode, but anything other than container gardening is impossible with out a major terracing project to provide flat space on the side of the mountain. So, we’re going to attempt to grow a few squash & cucumbers on the deck using the railings as support. But, considering the fact that my dog has tree’d several black bears during the past two-weeks. Am I simply creating a buffet dinner on my porch? Nature. Hmm. This next Call wants to know your perspective. Take a look…

PASTA

I try not to eat boxed food. During some previous food sermon, I’m sure I have expounded on my quest for a diet comprised of whole foods, locally sourced and preferably organic. But, I fall short–everyday. I do the best I can as I am sure you do, but convenience foods are aptly named. Sometimes convenience in necessary. GF pasta and flour are not items I am willing to tackle as whole foods projects at this point. This next Call is an excellent reason to get our of your artistic box. Take a look…
