Ramen noodles are a marvel.  I am amongst the millions that have been on a sleeping-on-someone’s-couch budget at one point in my life.  That budget allows for ramen noodles, oatmeal and a splurge on peanut butter for protein.  If you can find a couch in NYC, this next Call might be a great reason to eat ramen again.  Just a thought…

Check out this Call for Applications from the SOHO20 Gallery Chelsea (New York City, NY) for an Artist Residency.  If you have a friend who’ll let you sleep on the couch for a few weeks (okay, 3 months), this is a GREAT opportunity to jump into the NYC art scene.  Take a look…

Communal cooking requires wine consumption.  Well, it does for ME.  It isn’t that I don’t trust other people to do things “right” in the kitchen; afterall, my husband cooks dinner for our family almost every night.  No, it is really about being IN the kitchen with multiple people, all doing things differently.  I can adapt, it just requires a little wine in the beginning, ha.  This next Call could require some communal cooking.  Look out…

Generic versus name brand and heirloom versus genetically-modified and cheese food versus cheese.  The debates over what makes the grade and what doesn’t will NEVER end.  In my kitchen, I read labels and I buy the very best quality that I can afford at the moment.  I steer clear of any foods with scary ingredient lists, and I cross my fingers and hope my family enjoys their dinner.  This Call is all about the subjective question “is it good enough?”  Say some affirmations in the mirror and take the leap…

CATCH and RELEASE?

One of my favorite things about a river vacation getaway or retreat is the trout.  I like to catch them.  I like to eat them.  I do not like to clean them.  It isn’t about my wanting to be ignorant of the source of my food or the avoiding the death of a living being.  I just don’t like the guts part.  No, really.  If you’re a little squeamish too, make sure you take someone along for this next week-long artist residency on the river.  Take a look…
