CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2015

Posted on May 20, 2015May 20, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

TOMATOES & GRAPES
gardens in bloom

I pursued the holy grail of dining in the Holy City recently. My meal began on the porch of a grand Southern home in historic Charleston, SC overlooking a garden of heirloom blooms cultivated on the property. My meal began with a hand-propagated, rare tomato varietal and a gorgeous regional wine fermented from heirloom grapes. Even blind folded, I couldn’t have expected to be anywhere other than one of the sparkling jewel cities of the culinary culture to be experienced only in the South. The sense of place amplifies the food experience just as the sense of place in this one-of-a-kind Southern gallery exalts every work found within. Claim your spot now…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art (Augusta, GA) for A Sense of Place. $37 entry, media-inclusive & a beautiful, historic venue!

CALL for ENTRIES: Female Spirit

Posted on May 6, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

pink SUCKS

Did you know straws are a “girl thing”? Me neither. While grabbing a quick snack while shopping last week, a server looked at my son and husband and said, “I know straws are a girl thing, but I brought them for you guys too.” Have I missed out on some American sub-culture subtlety about beverage consumption along the way? I’m not certain how a straw can embody the female spirit; however, this next Call is asking for art that does just that. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Underground

Posted on April 27, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

TWO EGGS
over medium

So, I eat a lot of Waffle House food. My husband & I are regionally-touring musicians. As a result, we often need food at 2am, and Waffle House is the ever-available option–here’s one of a million Waffle House selfies we’ve taken. (I think they should sponsor us, but no replies yet, ha.) We don’t tour in the Atlanta area currently, so one Waffle House has remained elusive–Underground Atlanta. We’ll make it Underground eventually. In the meantime, here’s YOUR chance to go underground, minus the fried eggs. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sensory Overload

Posted on April 26, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

an APPLE a day

So I picked a peck of peppers today. Not really. But I did buy a bushel of apples out of cold storage from my local orchard. I just couldn’t wait any longer for a sensory overload. I usually wait for the first bite of sauteed ramps, but that wasn’t enough this year. So, I am home with a bushel of Mountain York’s. This week will be filled with the making of apple sauce, apple chips, apple butter, and fresh apples in everything from chicken salad to peanut butter sandwiches and pancakes. An orchard grown apple (even out of cold storage) is overwhelming abundant in flavor. I can’t wait. You don’t have to wait either; this Call is looking for YOUR sensory overload. Love this theme…

CALL for ENTRIES: Humans vs. Nature

Posted on April 22, 2015April 22, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

to MEAT or
not to MEAT

I am not currently a vegetarian, but I think I could be without that much difficulty. It is a personal choice that I have examined over the years. As Jon & I head toward a more agrarian lifestyle, I recognize that I am unwilling to take the life of an animal living on my farm (chickens, rabbits & goats). Instead, I leave that job to my husband who has less of a debate with it than I do. Does that mean I should not be willing to eat them–since I couldn’t kill them? This is my current philosophical internal dialogue. These animals offer my family the best way to get protein, but the chickens & goats can produce protein in the form of eggs & milk without it resulting in their demise. Should we choose NOT to kill them? I know both sides of the argument. Do I choose not to eat it if I cannot kill it? The war of human versus nature rages in my mind as it does in this next Call from F-Stop. Take a look & offer your best…

LEEKS

It is ramp season again! I love many, many things about living in the Great Smoky Mountains, but ramps are a Spring favorite for my family. I appreciate the ability to forage for ramps, but if you are a less adventurous resident, our local farmers’ markets have a growing availability of ramps in gorgeous colors and varieties. They are spectacular as the highlight of a tomato onion tart for brunch or just marinated in your best homemade vinaigrette. This next Call is looking for your favorite takes on all thing plant life.

CALL for ENTRIES: Turquoise

don’t be
BLUE

There aren’t really any naturally-occurring blue foods–of which I am aware. But maybe that is why I’m not a fan of color blue, with the exceptions of navy (almost purple) & turquoise (high green only). Blue foods scream, “Plastic” every time I see them–from icing on cakes to the blue tongues of toddlers eating shaved ice. I know; my food quirks never end. This next Call is just the perfect shade away from blue. Take a look…

BANANAS

I watched soap operas before I could talk. More accurately, my mother used to put me in my high chair and turn on The Doctors while she enjoyed her lunch. One day it came to an abrupt stop. Apparently engrossed in an overly-dramatic subplot, my mother neglected to notice I had fallen asleep and face-planted in my peanut-butter-topped-bananas. Since then, anytime my mother even see a commercial for a soap opera, the portrait of me covered in pb&b conjures guilt. This next Call wants your portraits; the food is optional. Love this…

FOR LOVING YOU

Something borrowed, something new; something green, something like glue. If I am married to food, the heroes & villians in our relationship are well-defined. Despite my best efforts, potatoes continue to fight against me in the form of chips, fries & luscious, comforting soup. They aren’t inherently evil, but they do have a tendency to lean toward the dark side of gluttony for me. The heroes, conversely, tend to be green & roasted–fresh Brussels sprouts, snap beans & crowns of broccoli. As I continue to fight the good fight, here’s a great Call that will allow you to fight your own battles. LOVE this venue…
