Recipes are sort of like guide books for me. I have no interest in doing exactly what they say, but they are a great jumping-off point. There are exceptions, thousands of them. See “baking”. Baking is a science. Baklava, croissant, sourdough, layer cakes–making them is either complicated or at the very least time-consuming, but the pay off is HUGE. This next Call is like that. There are a LOT of details, so read the prospectus in full, but the pay of is huge. First prize is $120,000, and it isn’t limited to representational work. Take a look at this one…

DINNER before dessert

Give my choice, I will take acidic or fatty foods over the super sweet. Give me the zing of wine-laden vinegar or the melt of a beautiful ghee in place of your sugar-crusted desserts. My palate has transformed over over many years. Don’t misunderstand, I still love a good cupcake, but I long for more complex choices. This next Call is an easy choice to make, and a sweet win if you get it. Take a look…

elbow (TABLE) room

I’ve got a touch of cabin fever. Comfort food & a cozy cabin is warm and inviting for a while, but then I have to get out –out of doors, out of the food rut. Just out.

Until then, this Wide Open Call will keep me content. This an inspiring space & may be a great opportunity for you…
