up, up & TAKE AWAY

I put my kiddo on a plane, alone, bound for Texas, and as soon as he was settled into his seat, he texted me. Before even taxiing down the runway, he wanted to know how to order lunch. Ha. He’s mine, for certain. Luckily, airline food has gotten better and offers healthy, organic, less-processed options. I’m impressed. He was impressed. This next Call embraces travel too. Food references optional…

CALL for ENTRIES: Color

rainbow ‘MATERS

Yellow tomatoes abound at my grocer. For some reason, my options are limited to uber-sweet cherry tomatoes, rock-hard-Brazilian-hot-house slicing reds or romas, trendy-but-mealy brown and entirely-too-sweet yellow tomatoes. I like my tomatoes super acidic and red or tart, green and fried. I know it takes all kinds, but I am looking for just one specific color of the rainbow. This Call is looking for any and all of the colors. Pick your favorite(s)…

Nourishment is personal. Salt is a perfect example. There is no other edible substance that I can think of that is more divisive. One simple dusting of salt can define the line between edible or not for a huge range of people. Be it food or artistic inspiration, how you feed yourself has to be personal. What else could it be? This Call is personal for me. I have been hungry, physically & creatively; have you? The show is short and simple. I have extended the deadline in an effort to include more work from more artists.

CALL for ENTRIES: Show #31

smashingly
DELICIOUS

Do you own a food mill? Think of it as a low-tech food processor. I love them because it makes leftovers multi-use. Run your chunky marinara through the mill for pizza sauce, while the food processor tends to make a watery mess. Baked apples, once milled make a great granita. Veggies from making stock end up as a great, light sauce for a fast noodle lunch. Your time is valuable. Don’t waste it by throwing away the left overs. Eat them. This next Call is a multi-purpose tool. Apply for one show and get considered for multiples. Take a look…

solo
SUSTENANCE

When left alone, I tend to eat solitary foods. I stood in my kitchen and ate cottage cheese (from the container & yes it was end of the container). For breakfast yesterday, strawberries. For Monday’s snack, pickled beets. But my meals with family or friends are balanced and diverse. I try not to overthink it; surely it is just simplicity, not laziness, right? This next Call requires neither simplicity nor laziness, but you will be on your own. Be brave…

APPLES
stink

Bugs, both lady & stink, invade my house every winter. I can only assume their numbers increase wildly due to the need to seek warmth. The ladybugs that everyone adores are different that the erratic, mean-spirited beetle variety that haunts the windows & lampshades in my home. And the stinkbugs, oh my. Did you know that National Geographic wrote an article a few years ago suggesting that these odoriferous creatures add an apple flavor to sauces? Thanks, but no. I’ll stick with the orchard original. This next Call is the only place I want to see swarms. How about you?

CALL for ENTRIES: Recycle

Posted on February 17, 2016February 18, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

hello
AGAIN

Cooking is a constant exercise in recycling & upcycling in my house. A whole chicken will provide a dinner, chicken salad for lunch, broth for future soups, scraps for breakfast hash or lunch tacos plus a treat or three for the pup. My least favorite of all these is the original chicken dinner. The upcycled & recycled varieties are always superior, just like the media for this next exhibit. Never have an empty plate by expanding your menu by incorporating what you already do…

CALL for ENTRIES: Road Trip

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

cold weather
SUNCHOKE

Winter vegetables are a problem. I am allergic to parsnips, tired of ever-present potatoes, refuse to pay $6 for a head of cauliflower, and am the only person left on the planet not addicted to kale. This leaves the cabbage family, spinach –and Jerusalem artichokes. I can’t remember the last time I ate time had this lovely tuber. One of the best things about root vegetables is they are rarely bought excessively under-ripe, and since most folks roast or mash them, they are rarely too ripe. That makes them easy to buy and uncommonly wasted. Where are my keys? Road trip. I am headed to the grocer, but you should head to this next Call for road trips. Take a look…

7 DAYS

Veggies everyday seems simple. There are many different perspectives on how much is enough, but the average recommendation is 5 servings a day (approximately 1/2 c., well packed, per serving). Five days a week, no problem, but because I travel for work so often, those last 2 days seem to elude me. I still manage 2 or 3 fruits & veggies a day, but the full five is a struggle. Celebrate seven with this next call. Open to all media…

I wore flip flops on Christmas day because it was just that warm. Then I got cocky and bought strawberries as if it were really Spring and I needed a treat for an upcoming garden party. Ummhmm. The little red boulders the grocer sold me as strawberries had about as much flavor as, well, what I imagine boulders might taste like. But this next Call is a REAL garden party. Take a look…
