LOUISIANA
(or Iowa)

All people have something in common –hunger.  As a product of that hunger, we all have to eat.  Some of us are more interested in food than others.  Granted, not everyone is as obsessed as I am, but I’m also not the only one contemplating food several meals (sometimes several months) in advance.  There are towns where I feel right a home simply because of the food — like New Orleans, Louisiana.  This next Call, also food obsessed, feels like home too.  Iowa is calling…

PROTEIN

Food challenges abound: Meatless Monday, Veggie Thursday & others.  I full believe in $5 Friday.  It doesn’t have to be Friday, but, well, alliteration.  I like the creativity required to feed my family of three for $5.  My “go to” used to be chicken quarters (75¢/lb), but chicken that cheap can be scary.  But, I can serve the best of eggs as protein, grass-fed, free-range, antibiotic free FRESH eggs and still have plenty of cash left over to round out the meal.  Fried rice & quiche are family favorites, but if you are not an egg eater, dried beans are fantastic (but require prep time).  This next Call is also a shockingly good value for $5 as well.  Take a look…

MILK

I’m not really a milk drinker –never have been.  I use it in cooking and to make cheese, but by the glass is uncommon.  It has in recent years, though, become helpful in the winter months.  In the winter, my writing for AAAD & creating my own art (both visual & performing) keeps me indoors most of the time.  A lack of sunshine for extended periods of time is often accompanied by a general malaise –the winter blues.  Milk isn’t a miracle drug, but the boost of Vitamin D does seem to help.  This next Call wants your perspective on blue.  Take a look…

CULTURE

Mayhaw jelly is the gift that keeps giving.  I appreciate receiving foods from all over the U.S., but often those foods aren’t necessarily native to an area — just popular there.  But, the mayhaw berry is native to the wetlands, so every time I receive a Louisiana batch, I am transported back to a place I love.  You can keep the beignets; just pass the jelly.  This next Call hails from Louisiana too and is just as special.  Take a look…

NEW TREATS

My “pup” will eat anything.  Pepper, my four-legged child, is going to be a pup of ten-years-old soon.  As she gets older, there are fewer and fewer things she should eat.  The food she loves is of the cheapest, most fast-food sort of variety.  We limit her people food to fresh veggies & the occasional egg, but her dog food and treats have taken a huge turn.  The cheapest of food causes the worst of skin allergies, but for the love of this animal, I’ll probably be making her food and treats before long.  This next Call is for the love of animals, not just dogs.  Here’s your chance to make a difference, but they are taking the percentage from their share…

White chocolate is not chocolate.  Every year I have to remind a few folks.  Those cocoa bean solids are the defining issue.  I’ll eat just a kiss, or a smooch if you will, of white chocolate each year.  But when I say, “I’m craving chocolate”, the answer is never white-chocolate-macadamia-nut anything.  Just to be clear.  Consider this my yearly white chocolate PSA.  And to be honest, I’d rather have my smooches & kisses a very different way –like this Call.  Take a look…

“Brancusi did it. Rodin did it. Even Tamara de Lempicka did it.

“The kiss has left its mark on many works of art, from the stone carvings of Constantin Brancusi to its marble predecessor sculpted by Rodin. With her kiss, Tamara de Lempicka delivered a woman swept off her feet by a high society gentleman, clad in an oily top hat, against the cubist backdrop of a city port. Each kiss carries its own sentiment.

“When lips meet, they promise temporary escape or a lifetime of devotion. When tongues touch, they deliver notes to our lovers, detailing desire or a lack thereof.” –from onthegroundfloor.co

GREEN

We are all careful about dairy products & cross contamination as a result of years of PSA-style campaigning about food-borne illness.  But, did you know that leafy greens are among the most dangerous types of foods?  Remember the bagged spinach epidemic from a few years ago.  Leafy greens are at high risk for contamination from manure in the growing process.  You’re not off the hook for eating greens, you just have to promise to wash this type of food really well.  This Call wants to know your type; food references are optional.  Great opportunity at a great gallery…

The letterform is an entity we interact with every day, most often without as much as a second thought; an artform hiding in plain sight.  What’s your type?

ROOTS

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already.  My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks.  With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November.  Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two.  My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change.  This Call is a great use for the extra $.

VINAIGRETTE

I eat in my car A LOT.  This has always been true.  Once upon a time, those meals consisted of a generous amount of fast food of the drive thru variety.  However, as my tolerance for processed food has waned but my travel for the job has increased, I find that packing food for the road has become more and more common.  Eating a decent meal is no longer an out of bounds activity for the car.  I do pull over to eat, but my seat belt has the permanent aroma of Italian dressing.  This next Call wants to know what YOU consider out of bounds.  This is a great opportunity and a beautiful space…

Sweet potato casserole, and I’m done.  Turkey has never been a part of my family’s holiday traditions.  In fact we are so obsessed with sweet potato casserole with a pecan pie top, we really just eat the rest of the meal as an excuse to consume ridiculous amounts of casserole.  It serves as a side dish & dessert then late-night snack.  We until it is gone.  It takes the four of us about 2 days.  I feel the need to put on stretchy pants just thinking about it.  This next Call is a fun turkey project.  Take a look…
