Stuffed cabbage is a recipe that takes me back to my childhood.  My grandmother had such a talent for making perfect little rolls.  I wish I had paid better attention to how she did that because I struggle to make them presentable.  Imagine my delight when I found a recipe for Deconstructed Stuffed Cabbage.  So excited to try this one.  In the meantime, this next Call is all about the CONstructed not the DEconstructed.  Loving this theme…

Ethnic grocery stores are gateway habits for foodies.  My favorite Cuban cookbook led me to my local Hispanic grocery in search of ingredients for authentic congri, and I came home with products I cannot pronounce and for which I have no use.  So exciting.  I appreciate being introduced to new food organically, so to speak.  *snicker*  This Gallery discovers artists for future shows from entries to open calls like this one.  Organically…

Cooking has moved into slow motion in my house.  As much as I want to hurry Spring along, I am reminded of our current Winter status by the icy wind that greets me at my front door each morning.  So, my slow cooker lives in a perpetual circuit from counter to refrigerator to sink to counter to refrigerator to sink–almost daily.  Tonight is lentil soup with bacon. This next Call wants to see what happens when life stills completely.  An intriguing take on a traditional form…

Still Life / Life Still

The study of inanimate objects; subject matter, placement and compositional balance imply meaning that surmount everyday functionality.  Historically, a still life composition is an array of commonplace objects, inert and set in space.  These objects often include natural components such as plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers accompanied by man made objects like dishes, boxes, mirrors and vases within an interior setting at eye level like a table top.  Darkroom Gallery wants to contextually explore the Still Life; some may take a traditional approach.  Others may see Still Life/Life Still as a vehicle to explore new artistic possibilities, in form, function or to convey political or emotive meanings.  Objects caught in their natural surroundings & documented on the fly can make just as poignant an image, i.e., Life Still.  — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

Cilantro is a polarizing subject in my family.  It is all black and white–absolutely no gray area.  For more than 1/2 of my extended family, cilantro is nausea-inducing at the mere thought.  I, however, cannot imagine life without tomatillo & cilantro salsa.  (It contains nearly equal parts of each.)  I try not to judge them.  When I was younger, I always thought ginger tasted the same as I imagine lemon-scented furniture polish might taste.  Now I love it on nearly anything.  This next Call is an excellent reason to see all of the world in black and white.  You be the judge…
