FULLY BAKED!
My son is contemplating going to school to be a pastry chef. I can’t even allow myself to think that it might really happen; he’s only 13. But the most interesting part of this particular career conversation (there have been hundreds) was that he was shocked and relieved to find out that it was OKAY for him to be a boy and want to cook. What? His father has cooked 75% of the meals he has ever eaten. How could he think there would be a gender issue? Bizarre. This next Call does have a bit of a gender issue to be considered. Investigate…
Check out this Call for Entries from the Woman Made Gallery (Chicago, IL) for their 16th International Open. The entry fee is low, and the juror is well documented. I have a soft spot for this gallery, but remember this Call is for women only. Take a look…
