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…

Check out this Call for Entries from LibertyTown Arts (Fredericksburg, VA) for a nat’l juried exhibit, For the Love of Animals. A percentage of jury fees & gallery’s commission go to the SPCA. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Interdisciplinary

& BITE

Being a great cook, is an interdisciplinary skill. I know a handful of people who claim to be so uncreative that they “can’t draw a stick figure”. Clearly, creativity is not measured by the quality of your stick figures. But I am willing to accept those sorts of self-assessments –unless they come from a great cook. Composing the perfect dish requires great taste, some basic scientific knowledge, both an eye for design and nose for the perfect unexpected ingredient. Without that combination of talent, meals are likely to be unremarkable. This Call is another way to put a combo of talents to the test. Take a look…

GREEN

We are all careful about dairy products & cross contamination as a result of years of PSA-style campaigning about food-borne illness. But, did you know that leafy greens are among the most dangerous types of foods? Remember the bagged spinach epidemic from a few years ago. Leafy greens are at high risk for contamination from manure in the growing process. You’re not off the hook for eating greens, you just have to promise to wash this type of food really well. This Call wants to know your type; food references are optional. Great opportunity at a great gallery…

CHOW

Food for women apparently exists. Well, it isn’t food exclusively for women, but I discovered there are a few foods that are even better for you if you’re female– including one of my favorites, flaxseed. Not using flaxseed? I love ground flaxseed as a substitute for bread crumbs on top of casseroles. I mix flaxseed with a little Parmesan and a mist of olive oil and return the casserole to the oven until it just starts to brown. Flaxseed adds a nutty flavor that I prefer over cracker crumbs, hands down. This Call is also meant for women. Take a look…

FUNGI

I’m afraid of eating wild mushrooms. Correction, I am afraid of improperly identifying a mushroom as edible and doing unexpected harm to my family. So, I have been trying to decide whether or not to grow them myself. Growing mushrooms at home always conjures images of damp, basement-like conditions. But research indicates I can crow them on logs in dappled shade, above ground, among the living, with fewer creepy-crawlies. This next Call want to know your views, wild OR domestic, but no veggies–just animals. Take a look…

VINAIGRETTE

I eat in my car A LOT. This has always been true. Once upon a time, those meals consisted of a generous amount of fast food of the drive thru variety. However, as my tolerance for processed food has waned but my travel for the job has increased, I find that packing food for the road has become more and more common. Eating a decent meal is no longer an out of bounds activity for the car. I do pull over to eat, but my seat belt has the permanent aroma of Italian dressing. This next Call wants to know what YOU consider out of bounds. This is a great opportunity and a beautiful space…

WILD

Have you ever eaten a persimmon? I am headed out for a road-trip soon, and I am super excited about eating persimmon pudding in Indiana. Persimmons are typically cultivated in the southeastern U.S. but grow WILD throughout much of Indiana. I think their love of this weird little fruit has resulted in some of the best uses, including the notorious pudding. Give a persimmon a try. Make sure it is ripe though; trust me. This next Call IS ripe and from Indiana. (I know. Bad. Sorry.) This is a great call…

soul FOOD

I love an amuse-bouche as much as the next foodie. I love tapas & small plate menus too. But, I don’t understand the tiny food trends I am seeing. The videos of tiny food being made on tiny appliances? I am clearly missing something. I cannot find a point to the concept of tiny food except for the cute factor. Where food is concerned, more is almost inevitably better in my house. But there is a time & place for everything. This next Call is the perfect way to dive into tiny works. Now to learn how to bind my work…

BLACK TRUFFLE

What happens when food imitates visual art? At Art Basel Hong Kong in 2015, that question was answered by 10 stellar chefs. The image to the left is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon combination of French sea bass, seasonal black truffle, celery mousse line & Malabar pepper sauce to recreate Zao Wou-ki’s dark abstract work. This dish, and at least 9 others in this vein, were available at restaurants in the Hong Kong area back in March. I can’t know how tasty it was, but, my oh my, how beautiful. This next Call wants your surreal work, but not the culinary version.

125 calories per ounce. Hikers often aim to only pack foods that have a caloric count of at least 125 calories an ounce. Can you imagine? How many people do you know that eat celery because they believe it is an negative calorie food? Priorities. I am not an avid hiker. Honestly, any hike that takes me more than a day is probably out of the question. But even then I would have to pack food. I would be grateful for calorically dense food, if only because I would have less to carry, ha. This next Call hails from the ultimate hiking mecca. Take a look…
