one EGG or two?

Simplicity can be a gift.  Sometimes what I want to eat has less to do with a craving and more to do with the ease of preparation.  When I’ve had a productive day, a drawn-out night of cooking weighs me down.  Sometimes an egg sandwich is just an egg sandwich; sometimes an egg sandwich is a gift.  This next Call see the transformative effect of art on our reparative health as a gift.  Take a look…

cha-cha-cha-CHIA

Now that it is warmer outside, I find myself turning to lighter food for breakfast.  My “go to” is often yogurt and fruit, but the downside is that I will often be hungry again long before lunchtime arrives.  My solution is to add a few chia seeds.  They pack a punch of energy while letting me have a “light” breakfast.  Next?  This Call is all about exploring the lighter side.  Take a look…

Lettuce & tomato are the exception, not the norm, in hamburger toppings any longer.  You can get burgers made from soy, mushrooms or fried eggs,  topped by aioli infused with truffles or ghost chiles, and even I have fallen under the spell of maple syrup drizzled over arugula.  Don’t knock it.  Inventive food combinations require an uncommon type of creativity.  This Call wants your inventive work.  Take a look…

new SPINACH leaf

My diet has been less than ideal for the past month.  I’ve been stress eating all the cheese and fried food I can get my hands on lately, and surprise, I’m feelin’ kinda crappy.  I started this week on a positive note though.  I’m turning over a new leaf this week, well lots of new leaves — spinach leaves, among other foods that support health and uplift my mood.  Hopefully the tide will turn on the “yucks”.  This next Call is looking for work to put in an uplifting position, in a literal sense.  Take a look…

my CREME-filled heart

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary with Chinese takeout because neither of felt like cooking or grocery shopping.  It was our typical night egg drop soup & steamed dumplings, but the thing that made the night a celebration came in a paper bag.  A beautiful, fresh chocolate eclair from our local doughnut shop, a guilty pleasure from the middle years of our marriage when that was one of the only splurges we could afford.  Since then, I tend to watch my sugar intake and my husband was diagnosed with a wheat allergy.  But with a that single damn-the-consequences pastry, I felt the heart flutter that says he’ll stick for another twenty.  Some of the best things come in, or on, paper just like in this next Call.  Plus the gallery is gorgeous…

FRUIT bowl

My husband has been throwing new bowls for me. (He’s a commercial potter.) I now have bowls of fruit and yarn and onions and paper clips.  Because I can’t decide on a glaze color, he keeps throwing while I cannot part with any of them.  Now it appears that all things in my house have to be stored in bowls.  I’m am currently rationalizing it as a study in perpetual still life.  This next Call encourages a far broader interpretation of still life than fruit in a bowl.  Send them your best…

THEME:  Still Life 2.0. “From the Greco-Roman art, mostly depicting offerings for the gods, to the Dutch masters of the 16th and 17th centuries, to the vanitas and, later on, to impressionism and cubism, still lifes have always been providing keys to understanding cultures of different eras and regions, as well as the psyche of each individual artist. Forget about fruits and flowers or bowls and skulls.

say CHEESE

I can’t imagine how many times I have written the words “I love goat cheese”.  It is easy for me to for to write these posts and reveal my food soul and forget that people READ these posts.  But when I give career development seminars, I have readers that show up (thank you) and have conversations with me about food that remind me that people know way too much about what I eat, ha.  Recently at a seminar about branding yourself as an artist, I had someone bring me goat’s milk soap since they couldn’t keep goat’s milk cheese cold. ♥  This next Call doesn’t have a lot of requirements, but one of them is that your design must include a goat.  No, I’m not kidding.

I don’t understand the Sunday “cheat day”.  I have lots of health conscious friends that believe Sundays are for eating anything you want, no matter how processed, fatty or sugar-laden.  They are looking for a respite, I suppose, from the restrictive day-to-day food habits they practice.  But, I’m an adult, and I don’t need a cheat day.  I am going to eat what I want when I want and deal with the consequences.  Life is short; I want everyday to be a respite from deprivation.  So there.  This next Call offers you a respite from the world and time to concentrate on your art.  Take a look…
