CALL for ENTRIES: P/N 32

Posted on December 14, 2016December 12, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

open & say YUM

I believe in food as medicine. Like a lot of you, I have a couple of chronic health conditions that require medication, including cough-variant asthma. I have chosen to take the least amount of medication possible to suppress side effects –specifically to my voice. Green tea with honey, cayenne & turmeric is loaded with anti-inflammatories that really help prepare my voice for the level of use I have to sustain. The positive? I take fewer prescription drugs. The negative? My tongue is always orange, ha. This next Call wants your positive and/or negative take for the 32nd year in a row. Take a look…

for the love of DESSERT

There IS scientific data to back up the validity of some effects of so-called aphrodisiacs, but some are a real stretch. We all know about the standards, oysters & coffee & chili peppers, but my favorites remain figs & honey. Both preserve well in various forms so that I can buy them in peak season, and they just invite Greek dessert recipes which are winners in my house every time. This next Call is also for Valentine’s Day. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art in Public Places

Posted on December 11, 2016December 10, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

for the love of SUSHI

Raw fish and seaweed tend to be very polarizing ingredients. Rarely do I meet someone who has a take-it-or-leave-it attitude about sushi. It tends to be love or hate every time. I understand why raw fish lacks appeal for so many. But, I find converting friends into sushi-lovers is often as simple as the surprise lunch. Sushi kitchens are usually spotless; the food is usually delicious & flavorful. Finding lovers of public art is far easier, and this next Call proves it every year. Take a look…

WATER is essential.

People risk their lives to protect water, and where I live, people just lost their lives in want of water. I live in Cobbly Nob in Gatlinburg. On Monday, we realized Webb Mountain was on fire. As we fled our yard was on fire. Amazingly, our house escaped unscathed. The fear is/was real; we can talk about that later. I just can’t yet. In the meantime, here’s a call that wants WATER from you. I appreciate this approach to watercolor. Investigate…

totally BAKED

I crave comfort food. I have always been an emotional eater, and in my defense, this year HAS sucked. Bizarre business twists, unexpected career delays, personal financial crisis followed by health issues, a relentless year of election propaganda and now a wildfire, a house robbery & now more dreams delayed. I want baked goods. Is there a healthier way to tackle trauma? Of course. Bite me. I need the comfort of things familiar like baked goods — and the venue for this next Call. It is a soft spot for me, and I want it to be for you. Love…

fast FARE

The freezer saves dinner about two days a week in my house. We purposefully cook more portions than we can eat and save the leftovers. It started out as a way to send lunch with my kiddo for school, but it has become a dinner rescue regularly. When you get busy and have forgotten to plan for dinner and live nearly a half hour from the closest grocery or restaurant, you’re grateful for frozen leftovers. This next Call is not a leftover or frozen, but I did neglect to plan the publication more than a few days out from the deadline. Sorry about that…

Breakfast & dessert challenge my craving for variety. I have resigned myself to daily morning eggs in every conceivable form, but I still delight in eggs for dessert. Custard. Eggs, sugar, vanilla, cream, yum. Crusted sugar atop a golden custard is heaven. A simple delight. This next Call offers gold as your inspiration. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Order & Chaos

PAPER or plastic?

Do you prefer boxes or bags in your pantry? I like the structure of boxed pasta, beans & cereal, but I love the price of most things bagged. I prefer not to store things in plastic, but I’m not convinced the process used to create cardboard is any better. I own a lot of glass which inevitably involves breakage and the energy consumption involved in cleaning and/or sterilization. It can be difficult to distinguish the order from the chaos, but this Call offers us a second change. Give it a shot…

I spent 10 years of my childhood as a resident of the state of Georgia in the United States. Many of my neighbors ran cottage food businesses. In the State of Georgia, you can apply for a commercial license to produce a limited variety of foods in your home kitchen for sale to the public — like breads, candy, jams, jellies, nuts & more. This “maker culture” shaped my entrepreneurial spirit as a child. Kudos Georgia. This next Call also hails from Georgia and should inspire the maker in you. Take a look…
