pass the paper

Would you eat something with no nutritional value just for the sake of eating if you could?  I LOVE to eat, but I’m not sure how much I would love it if I didn’t think even the most indulgent of desserts was secretly fueling my ability to live.  For example, would you eat a snack if it tasted great but happen to be made of paper? Not rice paper, not seaweed paper–PAPER paper.  Check out Slim Chips–interesting experiment.  This next Call strikes me as a much better use of paper.  Take a look…

and curious

Food deprivation is not new to me.  In the South, women are born dieters, as was I for half my years.  I no longer participate, opting for whole foods and a healthier self image. But, I was still dumbfounded when I read a study that proposes eating from a red dish, as opposed to the white ones I currently use, might result in smaller consumption.  Human beings are a curious sort aren’t we?  Maybe it is the association with stop signs and traffic lights.  Who knows? This next Call is curious in its own way, and leaves room for you to stretch your talents.  Don’t assume; investigate instead…

Check out this Call for Entries from Artseye Gallery (Tuscon, AZ) for Curious Camera.  A photo show with great categories, and only $10 to enter. PLEASE don’t discount this show if you are NOT a photographer.  Take a look first…

CUCUMBER

I’m on the lookout for a horned melon aka an African cucumber.  I tried one many years ago and remember the flavors of lemon, banana and cucumber, but because they are exceedingly rare, I can’t find one locally.  I suspect if I find one in the South, it will probably be imported and unripe.  Those tend to just taste like banana.  Keep your fingers crossed, or send me one if you run across it.  In the meantime, the next Call is a very rare illustration call.  Take a look…

CHICKEN LEG

Growing up, meat was the focal point of all meal preparation.  Everything revolved around how long the meatloaf, turkey, fried chicken etc. had to cook.  Every plate had to be picture perfect–1/2 meat (it is the South afterall), 1/4 starch (usually potatoes), 1/4 vegetable (often fried). As an adult, my meals still have a singular focus, but now that focus is ease of preparation, ha.  This next Call for Entries is singular in focus as well.  Be sure to check this out…

Coconut snow creme anyone?  I’m trying to come up with a logical way to combat my winter frustration.  Because I live near a little-traveled corner of the National Park, I STILL have access to untrodden-snow in area that is as free from harsh chemicals and pesticides as one can approximate in 2014.  So, I will use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and dream of a sitting on a Florida beach while writing during the latest bout of snow showers.  This next Call wants to bring you to their sunny Florida local for the opening of Camera USA.  I can’t wait…
