FEEDING the anxiety

I’m notoriously an emotional eater.  I find comfort in food, and I know it is a slippery slope. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve quit trying to fight the desire to eat for comfort and have just tried to make better “comfortable” choices.  Politics being what they are in the U.S. would understandably drive anyone to drink, but I have resorted to guava.  Guava is my tropical fruit therapy, and then, of course, there’s art.  This next Call wants your political art.  Take a look…

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…

screaming GREENS

As we approach the New Year, I keep having flashbacks to a screaming pressure cooker preparing collard greens each New Year’s Day. The sounds & smells have been spurred on because of my new electric pressure cooker, a gift from my mother for Christmas. Yes, I know that I normally shy away from large, trendy gadgets, but I just couldn’t resist.  This one does more & replaces other small appliances, so I’m giving it a whirl.  I’ve had two successful attempts in a row — Swiss steak then pork chops with apples.  Maybe collard greens next.  This next Call wants your reflections on the holidays.  You likely have work for this one…

raw FOOD

In a world where so many people are vegetarian or vegan, steak tartar was once the most controversial food conversations one could have.  Now we have so many more choices of things with which to disagree.  If we just stick to raw foods, there are still subgroups like fruitarians, juicearians, or sproutarians which cause heads to metaphorically explode.  The bottom line is that people have the right to determine what goes into their bodies, and what we choose to eat says something about who we are.  We are what we eat, right?  This next Call wants to know the raw truth about you through your work.  This one is personal…

There are reasons, philosophical to medical, both against & in favor of the consumption of some things.  But more often that not, it just comes down to personal taste.  I hear people complain about the flavor of cilantro on a seemingly non-stop basis, but I can’t imagine a cilantro-less world.  Some people are never going to eat cilantro; I am not going to stop eating it.  This next Call is like cilantro, you’re going to love it or hate it, but it is still going to be your choice –no one’s forcing you.  So, take a look, or not…

Fettuccine alfredo is the picture of pasta indulgence for many folks, but I have an artery-clogging love for pasta carbonara.  If you haven’t had this egg-y, cheese-y, bacon-y deliciousness, I warn you that one taste could ruin all other pasta for you.  I like a little extra cream and a few sun-dried tomatoes & fresh green peas in mine, but I’m guessing some of you didn’t need to hear anything after bacon, ha.  This next Call includes a shot at an exhibition in Rome, from hence carbonara originates.  Take a look…

Cover Art wanted by 2 Elizabeths magazine!the MISSING middle

I enjoy creative process.  I find it meditative.  My own visual work requires lots of repetition.  I like to knit.  More repetition.  I have a handful of favorite recipes. Even more repetition.  As a result, I often end up in looping rut of repetition.  In the kitchen, I break the sameness by trying a recipe outside my comfort zone. (Today gumbo, tomorrow doughnuts;)  When working visually, I find a themed Call that dictates the inspiration not only helps me start a new piece, but it sometimes marks the beginning of a whole new direction.  This Call is a paying opportunity too, which I appreciate albeit meager.  Maybe it is right for you…

Design impacts my food choices.  Bad or excessive packaging will decrease the chances that I will try a processed food.  And what’s with fruit like apples and oranges in individually wrapped packages?  Don’t they already have their own packaging?  I recently discovered that I am not the only one that chooses wine, at least in part, based on the label design.  It is okay; you can admit it too.  Design is a huge part of the impact of this art magazine.  I love this publication.  Maybe you will too…
