CALL for ENTRIES: 32nd Classic

Learn more about the 32nd Annual Bosque Art Classic from the Bosque Art Center!hot TAMALES

My child volunteered me to make tamales for his entire Spanish class.  He then neglected to schedule being home to assist me. (Fear not; I didn’t strangle him.) I love tamales, and I love making tamales.  The smells are earthy, the masa is fluffy & husks are the perfect wrapper.  I often make the ones that are tied at each end because I prefer the masa to filling ration.  They are more common in north Mexico and Texas.  And whaddya know… this next Call also hails from Texas.  This is a prestigious opportunity for representational artists…

While my friends are dreaming of picnics awash with super-size sandwiches and fresh squeezed lemonade, I crave fruit salads.  My childhood was fulled of canned fruit cocktail, coconut & marshmallow concoctions; so my adulthood is ripe with freshness.

We move to our “clean slate” apartment in about 6 weeks.  It has a good-size front porch but almost no yard.  The only green in site is a decayed and crumbling stepped flower bed next to the driveway.  I don’t think I can really grow a lot of food, but I have a friend that says she can get me a cut of epazote, a Mexican herb that’s hard to find in these parts.  Maybe if I surround it with marigolds and citronella, I might be able to save it from the bugs & their furrier 4-legged neighbors.  This next Call wants to know about your flowers, plants & gardens.  This is a perennial favorite, ha…
