CALL for ENTRIES: Sustainable WEST

Posted on December 30, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN
is more than
GREENS

Truly living green in the kitchen is a touch complicated. Yes, I can buy locally sourced, sustainable foods. But, as we work toward designing a kitchen for the straw bale house we plan to build this year, do I really have it in me to skip out on a traditional stove/oven for a wood-burning or rocket stove/oven? Not so sure. But while I’m contemplating it, I can at least submit sustainably-themed work for this next Call. How about you?

Check out this Call for Entries from Sustainable Silicon Valley for the WEST (Water, Energy, Smart Technology) Summit 2014 (Mountain View, CA). There is no entry fee, so don’t miss this opportunity…

don’t cut the
CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods? It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear. My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas. Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas. Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call. This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

TO GROW

I am slightly obsessed with the hunt for the perfect piece of land. My husband & I are determined that 2014 will be the year we finally build a house, but we can talk about that adventure later. Right now, I have to find the land. I need land that will both allow for a solar-efficient, south-facing house, but I also need a large enough plot to accommodate our offices, a studio, and a garden, of course–and cheap. I know. The land really MEANS something to me just like the landscape needs to MEAN something in this next Call. Keep reading…

Because you know I’ve been a foodie for so many years, it should come as no surprise that my weight has fluctuated for decades. I have been everything from a size 8 to a size 24 over the years. I have given up carbs, given up fat, eaten only fruit, eaten only soup… You name it, and I’ve tried it. Nothing ever worked for long. Then I was forced to quit eating wheat, and my weight stabilizes. Go figure. I’m not a size 8, or a 24, but I haven’t gained or lost more than 2 lbs in 8 months. This next Call is all about YOUR figure. Take a look…

AVOCADO?

RECIPE

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?” Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus. Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?” This next Call answers that question. Take a look…

I used to receive food in the mail. In the past, my out-of-state relatives would send me those meat and cheese boxes. You know the ones–processed cheese, Summer sausage, red and white checked box. But, I have convinced them to stop with the weird boxes of food and to start sending me personal hand-written recipes. I haven’t made all of the recipes, but I am more fascinated with them as art than food. This next Call could be your opportunity to mail food, of sorts. Or maybe NOT food…

how the
COOKIE
crumbles

I am amazed by the difference in food preferences in my own household. I thought I had everyone brainwashed to think only as I do about food. But alas, they have escaped my grasp. My son prefers Ranch dressing, and my husband will choose oatmeal raisin cookies over chocolate chip any day. I have learned to embrace our difference; after all, that leaves more chocolate chip cookies for me. This next Call allows YOU to embrace differences as well. Take a look…

I MISS THE TREATS

I haven’t had a trick-or-treater at my door in years. I miss seeing cute kids in even cuter costumes. I miss giving out chocolate, knowing it may be the only candy that doesn’t get thrown away later. But alas, I live in the mountains. Not many people live in neighborhoods, and those that do have an “organized community,” don’t have walkable streets. We buy 4-wheel drive vehicles because we actually need them. Our kids go downtown and trick or treat on Main Street. No joke. So, I have to get in the spirit other ways. I think this next Call is a great start. Take a look…
