SMART
food

I am food brave–usually. I can muster the courage to try bizarre foods, but I’ve gotten pretty squeamish lately. I am going to just admit this: I am more than mildly addicted to the new TV show iZombie. I got rid of cable TV in my home in favor of Hulu about 6 months ago, and I thought that would be the end of any regular show watching. Wrong. I found iZombie BECAUSE OF Hulu. But, as you might imagine, zombies eat brains. Now I realize that they aren’t real human brains, and I realize people indulge in all kinds of brain delicacies” from jello to calves and goat and more. But, no. I just can’t. So apparently I am not open to “anything”, but this next Call IS open to any theme. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Earth

CUKES
for cubs?

In our continuing efforts to downsize in preparation for “tiny living”, I downsized myself out of garden space. We moved back to our previous 2-acre, mountain-top abode, but anything other than container gardening is impossible with out a major terracing project to provide flat space on the side of the mountain. So, we’re going to attempt to grow a few squash & cucumbers on the deck using the railings as support. But, considering the fact that my dog has tree’d several black bears during the past two-weeks. Am I simply creating a buffet dinner on my porch? Nature. Hmm. This next Call wants to know your perspective. Take a look…

anyone know
where I can find
TAHINI?

Have you ever gone to the grocery store in search of just ONE item, but you quickly discover that the grocers have moved it to a different location. And, even when you ask a cashier, butcher or produce manager, no one can seem to tell you where it is or why it was moved. Me too. Recently I looked for tahini for 20 minutes. I eventually found it near the pickles. Go figure. Well, this public service announcement is no different…

You have been asking and asking, “I follow you on Facebook; so why don’t I see your posts?” We share your frustration, but instead of climbing on into the choir loft and joining all of the voices singing the Facebook woes, let’s just try to fix the problem.

CALL for ENTRIES: Opulent Mobility

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

small
PLATES

My kitchen is now tiny. My family has been downsizing year by year in prep for permanent tiny living. My kitchen/dining are is 10′ square. Not small by NYC efficiency standards. For a cabin in the woods serving a family of 3 foodies, it IS small space for a double sink, full-size stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, kitchen table, 4 chairs, & dog bowls. We adapted an under-the-stairs closet as a pantry, created a custom overhead pot rack to free up cabinets space and hung a small folding step stool on the wall to allow easy access to cabinet top space. It is working. In fact, I might be able to work in LESS space. Who knew my space adaptive efforts would be both useful AND a stylish upgrade to my mountain-top kitchen? But can I apply those skills to this next Call? Just maybe…

FOOD
for survival

New Orleans is one of my favorite cities for food. I really believed that Hurricane Katrina would put an end to the complex palate of taste that defined this beautiful town for me. I had the privilege to visit a mere 2 years after the tropical disaster. I was amazed. You can’t keep New Orleans down then, now or EVER. This next Call wants your perspective on the impact–maybe even culinary. Take a look…

CHEESE
dog

As I get older, my tastes skew toward whole foods with a higher fat content–nuts, cheese, olives. Yum. My dog is newly enamored with cheddar cheese and almonds too. She recognizes the crackle of the almond bag from the other side of the house, ha. We try to maintain enough self-restraint to limit her people food to minimum, but it is hard to say “no” to that sweet face. This next Call wants your work depicting your pet family.

NO CHICKEN
for dinner

I have nieces in college that will only eat chicken & potatoes. More accurately, their preference is chicken fingers & fries. These ladies are in their twenties. Their parents chose their battles, so to speak, and apparently food wasn’t one of them. Even on special occasions like holidays & birthdays (not even their own), someone always cooks chicken fingers, nuggets or tenders for these two just to keep the peace. This would be a declaration of war in my house. This next Call wants YOUR take on conflict–not just from the battleground either. This is a great opportunity to stretch your artistic self conceptually…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for War & Peace. $24 entry. We’re proud of how many of our readers have been both shown & awarded in the past few years at Darkroom. Take a look…

And it seems it has always been this way.” — from darkroomgallery.com

New York, contrary to it’s TV persona, is not all bagels, pizza & hot dog vendors. If fact, it may surprise you to learn that the apple is the state fruit.
