CALL for ENTRIES: In the Groove

groovy FOOD

I am finally in the groove of cooking for two.  Since my kid left for college, there have been A LOT of leftovers crowding my freezer, but it is getting better.  When he comes home for a weekend, it often takes me a week to recover my cooking-for-two-ness, but it is better than it used to be.  Just remember: 1 zucchini per person, 1 potato per meal, buy broccoli crowns, not bunches; it’s a groove thing. This next Call wants you to get in the groove too.  Take a look…

sprouts of SPRING

Green onions are among the first shoots sent up in Spring.   They taste like the more refined cousin of wild onions whose smell I associate with fresh-cut grass.  The greens are only fresh for a few days, but the bulbs protect themselves by turning outer layers into a husk-like spring jacket.  The green, slightly bitter bite they offer quiche is high on my list of favorite flavors.  This next Call is also one of my favorites of Spring.   Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Alternative Techniques

 

Learn more about the Alternative Techniques Call from LA Photo Curator! a little LEMON or LIME

During the winter, I’m grateful for the extra heat of the oven after lunch or dinner.  I usually leave the oven door open until it reaches room temp.  However, come Summer, or even Spring for that matter, I will start looking for alternative ways to cook without having to combat the heat of the oven for the rest of the day.  Ceviche may be the simplest of them all.  Ceviche is a method of cooking fish or seafood in citrus juice alone –without heat.  It doesn’t produce the flaky fish you get from the oven, but if you’re a fan of sushi, you’ll love ceviche.  This next Call is all about Aternative Techniques.  I can’t wait to see this exhibit…

toe-mate-OH

Winter is bearing down on my culinary sensibilities; it does every year.  In need of tomatoes for a recipe, I ventured into the produce section of my local grocer on a mission.  I was greeted with $4/lb. hot house tomatoes shipped in from a climate that should not require a hot house for them to flourish.  The most amazing part is that I only had to buy one.  Why?  Because the one tomato I bought, while beautifully folded like so many of my favorite heirloom varieties, was dense like a cannon ball and nearly three-quarters the size of my head.  Monster tomatoes are in a store near you.  (Spring can’t come soon enough.)  In the meantime, your monstrous work is welcomed by this next Call.  It is the first Call for this online publication; don’t miss out…

from N.Y. Photo Curator

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

THEME:  Monsters. “Teratology. Cryptozoology. Therianthropy. All of these terms are related to the study of monsters. Monsters are at once foreign and familiar, and they take on a good deal of cultural work, reflecting back to us our own monstrous side as well as representing “otherness”. Protectors or destroyers, they elicit reflection on the complexities of our nature . . . As a society, we consume monster-centric media in mass quantities, from volumes of fairy tales to horror flicks to serial killers presented on screen and in podcasts. From Totoro to Pan’s Labyrinth, be they gentle or malicious, monsters demonstrate a broad and intensely creative diversity of form, and there is a rich art historical archive of images and sculpture dating back centuries and reaching across cultural boundaries. –Anne Eder

She holds an MFA in Photography and Integrated Media from Lesley University College of Art and Design where she studied with Christopher James and has been employed as an adjunct professor.  Eder teaches courses in alternative and material processes in photography and in interdisciplinary projects, and will be joining the roster of educators at Harvard University and at Penumbra Foundation in NYC this spring. She is also a reviewer for Lensculture.

AWARDS:  The curator chooses 1st place, 2nd place & 3 honorable mentions. The 1st place winner will receive a review by one or more curators including a Q&A about the photographer’s work.

Partial boxes and bags and cans of food drive me crazy.  I am too “thrifty” to get rid that extra half cup of evaporated milk or quarter box of pasta.  As a result my menu has become a litany of recipes that recycle the odds and ends that happen as a result of making the foods I actually intended to make.   This next Call wants your art make from all things recycled.  This is a great show.  Don’t miss the early bird deadline just days away!

THAI tofu

I was out having Thai food for lunch with a friend lately.  I ordered massaman curry with shrimp; she ordered green curry with tofu.  I will never understand.  I said, “Tofu?”, and she replied, “of course, it is my favorite”.  Seriously?  I am certain there are a lot of people who appreciate tofu as a vegetarian-friendly protein that will take on the flavors of other foods.  But she looked me in the face and said, “it is my favorite”.  NO.  It isn’t really anyone’s favorite, is it?  I was looking at the face of deprivation, right?  Someone explain tofu to me.  Again.  Please. This next Call wants to see the Face of Humanity, not necessarily of a tofu lover (assuming those really exist, ha)Investigate this opportunity…

I am the queen of comfort food.  I know that the secret to award-winning mac ‘n’ cheese is Dijon mustard.
