CALL for ENTRIES: Dreams 3

Posted on June 23, 2017June 23, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

EATING in my sleep

I have been having the oddest dreams. I think it is related to the new version of melatonin supplements I am taking before bed. As you might know, my dreams are often about food. The most commonly reoccurring dream involves my being chased by Swiss chard –specifically red shard wearing yellow sneakers. Yes, I know it is weird. No, I don’t have an explanation. This next Call is all about dreams and you don’t have to explain them either. Interpretation is wide open…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net & G25N (online) for Dreams 3. $25 entry & no shipping. All still media considered and the marketing awards are fantastic. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 2017 Blanche Ames

Posted on June 21, 2017June 22, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

the HERBS are always greener

Only one of my herb window pots survived the move –cilantro. More accurately, the pots made it; the plants didn’t survive the neglect and abuse. Except cilantro which thrived. So, this month it is cilantro-infused everything. It is going to take a while to get all my herbs re-started because I’m no botanist like the woman for whom this next Call is names. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Material Matters

Posted on June 19, 2017June 18, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

basic BOWLS

My husband does design work for a commercial potter. As a result, I find myself lingering over the kitchenware when I visit his office. I am currently obsessed with the little 4-cup mixing bowls with a pour spout. I own one in stainless steel, and it is my “go to” for small jobs like dressings, dips & marinades. Having multiple, beautifully hand-thrown versions with a pour spout is nearly more temptation than I can take. My inability to choose a glaze is the only thing saving me at the moment. This next call celebrates both metal & glass, plus glass & wood. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: A Sense of Place 2017

Posted on June 11, 2017June 11, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

a little KITCHEN

So, the move is complete. My husband & I have downsized our home by half as the next step in our being completely mobile. I am currently referring to my home as “box city” for reasons that I imagine are obvious. Part of the move included purging my life of all the “stuff” weighing me down, including kitchen gadgets and single-use appliances. The lack of stuff has necessarily affected my cooking as well, encouraging simplicity, whole foods & clean eating. It is a new place, a new space & an opportunity for a fresh perspective. This next Call, although un-themed, reinforces the idea of a unique sense of place. Take a look…

Over the years, I have fallen for all foods Chicago style. From deep-dish pizza to hot dogs to open face horseshoes with fries piled high, the windy city knows its food. But just like my state is more than Memphis BBQ or Nashville Hot, Illinois is more than the famous foods of Chicago. Did you know that Illinois is one of the few states that has adopted an official snack food –popcorn. Their unique spin is equal parts cheese & caramel-flavored varieties, a state after my own heart.

CALL for ENTRIES: Shades of Green

Posted on May 16, 2017May 12, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

BROCCOLETTI di rapa

I have a secret love for rapini. You may know it as broccoli raab or broccoletti. People assume it is just fancy broccoli and often cook it that way, hence the reason I hide my love of it (until now). Rapini is more closely related to a turnip than broccoli with the same tendency toward bitterness or stringy-ness if under cooked or overcooked. Don’t ever buy, cook or serve rapini that isn’t a gorgeous shade of green. (You won’t enjoy the yellow, trust me.) Don’t under cook it or spare the garlic & olive oil. This next Call wants your perspective on all the shades of green, not just the broccoli shades. An open theme…
