JELLY much?

Why do we always want what we cannot have?  Deprivation drives some people mad.  I am not being deprived; I’m just stubborn.  It is a control issue.  The food at my residency is phenomenal cuisine offered in a beautiful setting.  I have eaten every manner of velouté, terrine & and savory foam imaginable, but I am currently craving a PB&J and banana pudding, separately of course.  Ridiculous.  This next Call is for a residency that does not provide meals, so you are welcome to eat all the junk food you can stand, ha.  Take a look…

lost in TRANSLATION

So, I’m writing this post from an artist residency in New York.  I have been here for three days, and I have lost 5 pounds.  I am eating glorious food prepared in a traditional French manner breakfast, lunch & dinner, compliments of the restaurant on the property.  How is this possible you ask?  I eat exactly three meals a day.  Normally I am a grazer, eating off and on all day.  But, I am currently in a town with a population of approx. 150 people without a vehicle or availability of a local grocer.  I have spent three solid days in my studio coming out only to be fed,  and the end result is weight loss.  I can see the tabloid headline now — “Emerging Diet Trend:  eat anything & lose weight”. Ha.  Until then, here’s a Call for emerging artists.  Bon appétit..

Learn more about the 2018 It's Political exhibit from Las Laguna Gallery!

what TO EAT, or what NOT TO EAT

Famous words, “No politics, let’s eat.”  FOOD IS POLITICAL.  In the United States, for example, our Department of Agriculture suggests that half our diet be composed of fruits & vegetable (great); however, more than 60% of agricultural subsidies go to corn & other grains which are primarily consumed by the commercial meat & poultry industries.  Do you know how much of those subsidy funds go to growers of fruits & vegetables? Less than 1%.  Food is political.  This next Call wants to know what YOU have to say about today’s political climate, food politics optional, of course.  Take a look…

the PRICKLY truth

Sometimes you just have to be open to trying new foods.  So, when handed a nopales taco by a friend, I thought “why not”.  Nopal is a common name for the pad of a cacti and sometimes refers to the prickly pear fruit as well.  Fleshy & a little tart, the nopales in my taco really worked as a meat substitute.  I’m not sure why I don’t eat more cacti. To what are you open? This next call is open to any thematic content.  Investigate the opportunity…

COOK for me

Why are there so few female chefs and so many female cooks?  It turns out that professional cooking jobs are like so many other jobs –ruled by gender stereotypes.  I lived most of my pre-adolescence without a residential female figure, and I was always taught it was my job to learn to cook.  I cooked most of my familial meals from age 5, yes 5, to age 15.  Imagine my surprise when I got to cooking school and found myself the only woman in my class.  This next call explores masculinity. Do you have something to say? Take a look…

have some CANDY

My grandmother was addicted to candy. She would stock up near the candy-laden holidays Easter, Halloween and Christmas, and try to get it eaten at a faster rate than it would solidify in a solid block of colored sugar.  So, it wasn’t her sweet grandmotherly instinct to push candy on me at every occasion; it was stock rotation, ha. After she died, I could have started a candy store with the volume of candy in her kitchen. This Call is a chance for you to celebrate the life of someone who has passed from the physical world.  Take a look…

hold the SHRIMP

The people with whom I eat most often have lots of food allergies –milk, shellfish, wheat.  So how does a food co-exist with food allergies?  The secret is parallel thinking.  For example, I need to make chili paste for Thai dishes, but my husband is deathly allergic to shellfish.  Who might love Thai food, but naturally wouldn’t eat shrimp?  Vegetarians.  Vegetarian chili paste is made with shiitake mushrooms as the substitute for shrimp. Problem solved.  This next Call is about coexistence, diversity & inclusion on a much larger scale.  Take a look…
