TEA

Did you know that pine needles are edible, sort of? If you love the smell of holiday wreaths and garlands made of fresh pine, you can get that same sense of comfort from tea brewed of pine needles. Be careful NOT to use yew, Norfolk Island Pine or Ponderosa Pine (poisonous) and be sure to forage for your needles to help avoid fertilizers and pesticides. It’s a different way to look at those ever-present evergreens. This next Call wants to see your different take on plants of all sorts too. Deck the halls…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Flowers, Plants & Gardens 2. Only $20 to enter & thousands in prizes. Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Liz Huston

Posted on December 10, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

creative ISOLATION

As the new year approaches, I find myself more isolated and in my head as I set goals for the year and contemplate creative direction. Today’s Artist of the Day, Liz Huston captured my inner dialogue with storytellers of her very own. The pieces below that spoke to me are from a couple of years ago. But please take the opportunity to look at her new work and find your own story. (continues below)

“I am fascinated with the way memory influences how stories change and evolve over time. This happens not because the facts change,but because the inner orientation of the storyteller has. Their perspective grows; expanding and contracting with experience. The storyteller journeys us deep into the timeless aspects of the human experience; the kingdoms of love and loss, through grief, resolve, growth and into the balance of purpose… This time traveler, this storyteller, unites the treads of time–leading us home, bringing us back into ourselves.” — Liz Huston

power FOODS

Green chili has made my week. Sometimes I struggle in the winter since most produce is sun-powered. But, I have learned how to make the best of what IS available. Using imported, hot-house tomatoes is never my first choice; however, if you are going to cook them for hours, like I do in green chili, tangy unriped green tomatoes can be just the thing to fool your taste buds for another week until Spring arrives. Here’s a sun-powered Call that will make your week too. Take a look…

BLUES

I have broken my own blue-food rule. I have ranted & raved for years about food coloring. I have forever sworn off any faux food colored any shade of blue, but I have given in. This year will be my very first time in my life that I will have a “real” Christmas tree (living, as opposed to artificial). So, I decided that all the ornaments and decorations should be “real” too (read handmade or homemade). I couldn’t resist the most beautiful electric-blue gum drops I have ever seen. I am testing them out as a sweet garland. Forgive the hypocrisy, but I promise not to eat them. This next Call is another non-edible use for all things blue. Maybe this one’s for you…

& BITE

Being a great cook, is an interdisciplinary skill. I know a handful of people who claim to be so uncreative that they “can’t draw a stick figure”. Clearly, creativity is not measured by the quality of your stick figures. But I am willing to accept those sorts of self-assessments –unless they come from a great cook. Composing the perfect dish requires great taste, some basic scientific knowledge, both an eye for design and nose for the perfect unexpected ingredient. Without that combination of talent, meals are likely to be unremarkable. This Call is another way to put a combo of talents to the test. Take a look…

Food for women apparently exists. Well, it isn’t food exclusively for women, but I discovered there are a few foods that are even better for you if you’re female– including one of my favorites, flaxseed. Not using flaxseed? I love ground flaxseed as a substitute for bread crumbs on top of casseroles. I mix flaxseed with a little Parmesan and a mist of olive oil and return the casserole to the oven until it just starts to brown. Flaxseed adds a nutty flavor that I prefer over cracker crumbs, hands down. This Call is also meant for women. Take a look…

I ate broccoli at dinner last night. *yawn* Did you know there are approximately 30,000 edible plants on this planet? Did you also know that a mere 50 crops make up 90% of the calories consumed?

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already. My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks. With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November. Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two. My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change. This Call is a great use for the extra $. Take a look…

BLACK TRUFFLE

What happens when food imitates visual art? At Art Basel Hong Kong in 2015, that question was answered by 10 stellar chefs. The image to the left is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon combination of French sea bass, seasonal black truffle, celery mousse line & Malabar pepper sauce to recreate Zao Wou-ki’s dark abstract work. This dish, and at least 9 others in this vein, were available at restaurants in the Hong Kong area back in March. I can’t know how tasty it was, but, my oh my, how beautiful. This next Call wants your surreal work, but not the culinary version.

125 calories per ounce. Hikers often aim to only pack foods that have a caloric count of at least 125 calories an ounce. Can you imagine? How many people do you know that eat celery because they believe it is an negative calorie food? Priorities. I am not an avid hiker. Honestly, any hike that takes me more than a day is probably out of the question. But even then I would have to pack food. I would be grateful for calorically dense food, if only because I would have less to carry, ha. This next Call hails from the ultimate hiking mecca. Take a look…
