RADishes

Spring is here. I had a gorgeous, fresh Spring radish salad on Saturday while wearing flip flops in sunny 80° weather. Today is Monday, I made beef stew while it was snowing, in Tennessee, on April 16th. So, let me say Spring is here –on paper. Who knows about tomorrow, but this next Call is also about being on paper. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Color

FLAVOR bombs

Was there a bumper crop of clementines this year? Most winters I cling to them as a dose of orange-y sunshine while I wait for the greens to turn green and the tomatoes to lose their gray, hot house pallor. But, truth-be-told, most clementines I buy seem flavorless starting around the end of February. But this year we’re into April, and they are still bursting with flavor and adding beautiful color to so many of my meals. This next Call wants to see your color inspiration. Take a look…

“In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is—as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art. In order to use color effectively it is necessary to recognize that color deceives continually. Color is “passive,” “deceptive,” and “unstable,” color behaves, color ismagic.” – Joseph Albers, Interaction ofColor

STARCHY staples

Did you know that nearly 85% of the rice eaten by Americans is grown in the United States? Despite living in the south for the majority of my years, I was unaware until recently. Louisiana is famous for Creole food including red beans & rice, but I had no idea that Louisiana is also one of the top three producers of rice in the U.S. The next time you’re watching the pot that never boils, read the back of the rice bag. This next Call is another one of my favorite things to hail from Louisiana. Take a look…

pick & EAT

We’re only 10 days into Spring, and I am already making Summer food plans. But just before Summer arrives, we have the glory of pick-your-own-strawberries season. For five or six glorious weeks we eat strawberries so ripe they are almost purple by the basket and bucket-full. I cannot wait. The other way I am going to salute Spring while welcoming Summer is by submitting to this next Call. Take a look…

DESSERT-less

My Chinese take-out night has a routine: egg drop soup, steamed dumplings, Kan Shaw beef & a fortune cookie. My friend who works behind the counter laughs every time I pick up a menu because he knows my order won’t change. Until last week, my husband came home with a bag of neatly stacked fold-up boxes & a pint of steaming soup. Dinner was lovely, but cookie-less. Fortune cookies must now be ordered; they cost 25¢ each. I know the cookies are far from Chinese & the fortunes ridiculous. But, it I love them still. Just when it seems “nothing is free” is confirmed, there comes our next Call. Here is your chance to be included in a group exhibit or have a show of your own, no entry fee. Take a look…
