TAMALE

I love tamales. My life has been dotted with expert tamale makers–the Mexican version. Then I tried Guatemalan tamales. Oh my. The differences are subtle, but important. In Guatemalan tamales, the corn used to make the masa (dough) is not sweet, and they are usually wrapped in leaves, not corn husks. Tamales can come in red & black varieties, both sweet & savory, both large & small. If are the winner of this next Call, they pick up the tab for your ticket & hotel to the opening. Be sure to pick up a tamale while you are in Guatemala! Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from La Fototeca & Guatemala.com (Guatemala) for Guatephoto 2015. $25 entry. Printing & exhibit costs are covered. And winners get a ticket & hotel for the opening! An excellent int’l opportunity…

EGGPLANT

My kiddo just turned 16. For his birthday, he didn’t ask for pizza or burgers; he wanted Indian food. So proud. Since his palate took a huge left turn a couple of years ago, eating out with him has been a voyage of firsts. The first taste of Baingan ka Bharta (a spicy mash of eggplant & tomatoes) & Goat Korma were adorable. And hopeful. Finally I can rest knowing that I might have put another foodie out into the world that is willing to eat adventurously. This next Call could be a first opportunity for you at the first show for this gallery. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Garbage

Posted on August 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

the thrifty
KITCHEN

It isn’t about how little you spend; it is about how little you throw away. That is the key to keeping our household food budget on track. We throw very little away. When celery goes limp or carrots dry out, we add them to the collection of chicken bones in the freezer to make stock. I haven’t purchased broth or stock in years. A little cream makes a whole new meal from left overs. Overly ripe fruits make fantastic preserves, coulees, granitas & trail mix. Stale bread makes great croutons. Don’t let throwing things away become the habit, recycle or re-use or re-invent it–even food. This next Call wants your insight on garbage re-use & reduction. Love this one…

Garbage

Today we swim in garbage. The world we live in is over populated, over polluted, over everything. How we deal with garbage needs a new approach, a new way of dealing with this overgrowing problem.

DOUBLE
garden duty

We all eat massive amounts of corn. Since my husband’s Celiac diagnosis, we are a gluten-free household, and it took a lot of work. But, now it is second nature and, really, no big deal. But corn? If I had to try to cut corn out of our diets, we would starve; it is in EVERYTHING. In 2012, the USDA claimed 88% of U.S. corn is GMO. I’m not okay with that, so we are planning an attempt to grow our own soon. Meanwhile, did you know that corn does excellent double duty as a trellis for growing peas? Plus, the peas supply much-need nitrogen to the soil for the corn. Don’t you just love nature? It is in the nature of this next Call to offer DOUBLE the prizes. Make us proud…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Abstract II. The cash prizes are DOUBLED for this one! Take a look…

ICE

Can someone bring me a mango ice shave? I have been desperately trying not to whine about the heat, but you could stave off my whining with a shave ice. Really. Don’t bring me a snow cone; it isn’t the same thing. It is about the location of the syrup. In a shave ice/ice shave, the shaving creates a snow-like texture that absorbs the syrup. In a snow cone, the ice is crushed causing all the syrup to settle to the bottom. Don’t try a shave ice unless you are prepared to never eat a snow cone again. Really. You can’t keep your hot weather, but don’t keep your hot pics. This next Call is a great distraction. No shipping required…

I don’t drink coffee. For all of my open-palate talk, there are things I am simply not interested in consuming. Coffee is one of those things. For many of you, this is heresy, sacrilege, blasphemy. I suspect it would be like my reaction to people that don’t like chocolate–incomprehensible. But, I break my own rules. When I go to the “home” of something, I feel obligated to partake. Don’t you have to drink coffee in Washington? Maybe I could just visit Java Jive and listen to a few tunes in the giant coffee pot instead. Or consume a little art just a couple of hours down the interstate. I’m game. How about you?

Chocolate is my weakness. It always has been. However, I have been on a caramel kick lately.

I have a tattoo. It is apple-shaped. I know–food, again. It was really meant to be about food, technically. I went to New York City, aka the Big Apple, for my graduate school interview, and decided to get a little, nickel-sized apple tattoo to remind me of my trip to the Big Apple. Yes, I was sober. Turns out that I’m a bleeder, so it is my only tattoo. But, I really love them. This next Call wants your take on tattoos. Take a look…
