stalks for STUFFING

I am dreaming of asparagus. Blanched then marinated in red wine vinaigrette, served cold. Grilled and drizzled with lemon juice. Milled with full-fat ricotta and baked. There are so many ways to love asparagus, but alas, peak season is in April. While we wait, check out this Call that offers art publication two ways –print and digital. Investigate past features…

color me STUFFED

The Thanksgiving sea of brown food has passed. Luckily, my family forgoes the turkey, dressing, gravy & rolls thereby missing out on a good portion of the brownness of it all. I crave color even in my food. A star of this year’s menu was the beet & clementine salad. Beets are plentiful year around due to how well they do in cold storage. If you are one of those folks that swear they dislike beets, make a point to try them fresh roasted. (Message me for a recipe.) In the meantime, here’s a call that also craves color. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Incandescent (printed zine) for Issue Eleven. I want to challenge you to find a way to work with color film. Sometimes using your voice to speak a different way can lead to new opportunities. You can do it…

fast FARE

The freezer saves dinner about two days a week in my house. We purposefully cook more portions than we can eat and save the leftovers. It started out as a way to send lunch with my kiddo for school, but it has become a dinner rescue regularly. When you get busy and have forgotten to plan for dinner and live nearly a half hour from the closest grocery or restaurant, you’re grateful for frozen leftovers. This next Call is not a leftover or frozen, but I did neglect to plan the publication more than a few days out from the deadline. Sorry about that…

CALL for ENTRIES: Order & Chaos

Posted on November 1, 2016October 31, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

PAPER or plastic?

Do you prefer boxes or bags in your pantry? I like the structure of boxed pasta, beans & cereal, but I love the price of most things bagged. I prefer not to store things in plastic, but I’m not convinced the process used to create cardboard is any better. I own a lot of glass which inevitably involves breakage and the energy consumption involved in cleaning and/or sterilization. It can be difficult to distinguish the order from the chaos, but this Call offers us a second change. Give it a shot…

with a CHERRY on top

Long-time readers have felt my pain at the lack of ethnic culinary options in my little hometown. But we HAVE recently added superb Thai & Indian food to list. There is ONE really inconveniently located German restaurant –which is like not having one. But, I still await Ethiopian food (never going to happen) & Hungarian food (craving hideg meggyleves, a chilled cherry, sour soup). Soup is not the only reason to consider this next residency Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware X

Posted on September 2, 2016August 30, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

natural ABUNDANCE

The downside of eating local, in season food is familiarity. During the peak of Summer, I grown at the site of a crookneck squash, in Fall it is the pumpkin. But, I have found THE solution –unexpected parings. Combining two familiar ingredients in an unexpected way can refresh the palate and your menu. Pumpkin & oranges, white chocolate & sage, avocados & maple syrup. Try one. Sometimes it is all about the right combination. The next call offers a way for you to combine your work with film to spectacular effect. Take a look…

CALL to ARTISTS: Purchase Award

Posted on July 23, 2016July 23, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

fast FOOD

Groceries arrived at my door this week. You see, we chose to become a one-car family years ago. We live fairly remotely –2.5 miles from the closest two-lane road and nearly 10 miles to a minor four-lane highway. So, when the water pump on our car erupted in the driveway, getting groceries became a challenge for the weekend. Luckily, we have access to a grocery delivery that costs less than the taxi to and from the grocery store would cost. Some days, you just need a little help. This next Call wants to offer a little help to artists. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Retrieval

Posted on April 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

the STOMACH knows

Beautiful food is enticing. Culinary schools offer classes that teach presentation for a reason. But ugly food has its place. I had lunch with a friend yesterday; she insisted I pick the restaurant. I chose Indian food only to discover she had never eaten Indian food. I felt the need to warn her that the food was delicious, but ugly. Maybe ugly is a little too strong. It looks a bit like mud on rice, but the stomach doesn’t care what food looks like.. This next call isn’t muddy, it wants to see all that is beautiful. Take a look…

comfort FOOD

When winter hits, my mood often turns darker. But, instead of pizza & ice cream (okay, sometimes instead), I try to reset my nutritional routine. I am always surprised how unexpected foods can trigger a change in mood. Healthy fats like that found in fish, nuts, avocado are shown to improve brain health while vitamin D found in dairy (and non-dairy mylks) are a big help if I have been stuck indoors. Spicy foods offer anti-inflammatory benefits that help with circulation and my energy levels. Making a positive change in what I eat often helps me combat a negative turn in my mood when winter sets in. This next Call is all positive. Take a look…

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?
