Learn more about the CANvas CANpaign from the Can'd Aid Foundation! a-FLOAT

I like to believe I am rarely surprised, but truth is I am surprised & often.  The latest is alcoholic water.  When is the last time you took a drink of water & thought, “if only this were alcoholic”? I am guessing that the lower sugar content appeals to those dieting & drinking. This next Call is all about water of the non-alcoholic variety for communities in need.  This is a rare chance to enter a contest for good that offers monetary awards for winners.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Wax Poetic

Learn more about the Wax Poetic Call for Entries from Fabulon!with a CHERRY on top

I have an aunt that still seals jelly with wax instead of heat sealing them with a lid & ring.  She swears it is easier and says her cherry jelly never lasts more than 2 months anyway.  I don’t understand how it is any easier since she has to melt the ways and spoon it over the top of the each jar of jelly. But, I love her cherry jelly, so I just keep my mouth shut about the wax.  This next Call is all about the wax.  Is this Call for you?

My Spanish classes are coming along nicely although I am struggling with objective pronouns.  My food vocabulary expands easily and exponentially.  My favorite is pasteles.  Cognates are easier to remember, but some words just stick in the brain & roll off the tongue.  Pasteles = cakes.  This next Call is for pastels, not pasteles, but segues are hard.  It’s a stretch, I know.  If pastel is your media, this is a great show…

My three favorite restaurants are all in North Carolina featuring American, Spanish & Italian cuisines.  They are all within a few blocks walk of each other.  Is it the education system that produces the culinary prowess?

CALL for ENTRIES: AbstrAction

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the AbstrAction exhibit at the Marin MOCA!PINEAPPLE ma pizza

I eat lots of pizza, an odd side result of my job as a performing musician.  Common menu offerings include lettuce-topped Mexican, Greek, thick-crust Sicilian, Californian, the New York slice, the ubiquitous pineapple Hawaiian, and of course, deep-dish Chicago style.  There are many others, but these are the standards.  I love how, outside the area for which they are named, they consistently have similar the toppings that aren’t always grounded in anything more than habit.  Did you know California-style always has sun-dried tomatoes? Do you know why? Me either.  Food stereotypes are funny & often well-intentioned, but odd & often very abstract.  This next Call wants the abstract, but don’t send them pizza.  The deadline looms…

How many of you have a potted rosemary bush?  Mine is blooming a gorgeous array of little lavender flowers.  Did you know the flowers are edible?  If you love the taste of rosemary but find the texture & taste a little to strong for delicate foods like fish, try using the flowers instead.  They are softer in both mouth feel & potency and even make a beautiful garnish when flash fried.  This next call is looking for flora, and it doesn’t have to be edible.  Take a look…

Sugar is sugar, right?  I don’t think so.  Fried sugar takes me to morning doughnuts in the office.  Melting powdered sugar transports me to Saturday afternoon elephant ears at the flea market.  And spun sugar, spun sugar sends me straight to the state fair standing in line on hard-packed earth waiting for my turn on the Alpine racer.  Each smell is distinct, truly, and each conjures a certain place I hold dear to my heart.  Where is your certain place?  This next Call wants to know.  Explore the possibilities…

CALL for ENTRIES: CQ No. 49

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

either / OR

Food substitutions have become second nature to me.  I live with & cook for lots of people with food sensitivities, health concerns & philosophical/ethical food issues.  I have to be able to accommodate those folks without advance warning and without blowing my food budget.  Black beans make great gluten-free brownies; bananas work as egg replacement in many desserts & breads.  Lemon zest can be a fantastic salt alternative, & nutritional yeast is a great stand-in for Parmesan.  It isn’t about faking an ingredient; it is about creatively coming up with an alternative texture or taste.  This next Call is all about the creative.  I like this opportunity.  Is this one for you?
