CALL for ENTRIES: Passporte Salon

Posted on December 22, 2016December 22, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

bare ESSENTIALS

My efforts to downsize my kitchen continue. I’ve always been partial to white dishes, so color doesn’t help. I shy away from single use gadgets or trendy patterns. So, I’m left with glass containers, stainless bowls & the occasional wooden spoon. You would think that simplicity would lend a primitive look, but in fact, it makes me keenly aware of the man-made nature of each item, be it molded, cast or hand-formed. This next Call wants to see YOUR built environment. This is a wide ranging theme. Enjoy…

RICE and BEANS

I was born in Florida –Clearwater, to be exact. My time there as a child was shortlived, a mere 5 years. But, as an adult, I’ve had great reason to travel the width & breadth of the state. I’ve eaten every imaginable cuisine in Florida, and I’ve written of many of them for you. But the best Cuban food I’ve ever eaten was in West Palm Beach –no kidding. This next Call hails from the same local and promises to offer a great opportunity in an excellent venue. Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Root

Posted on December 19, 2016December 19, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

digging DEEP

It is root vegetable season again. It isn’t all just potatoes and carrots. Root veggies are one of my only opportunities to have fresh food all the way through the winter. I’ve been preaching about turnip roots for years; try them as a substitute, if only in part, for mashed potatoes. Or celeriac is delicious. Rutabagas are divine, albeit stinky. How about kohlrabi? It isn’t actually a root vegetable, but it holds just as long in cool dry temps. They are like savory comfort foods, minus the warm cheese. This next Call invites you to delve into YOUR roots. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator for the Root exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, plus art publication for ALL entrants & an opportunity to support a great cause WITHOUT donating work. Great opportunity…

Root
from L.A. Photo Curator

___

“My research has led me to find that the word, ‘root’ has ties to mathematics, music, machinery and computers to list only a few. Without giving too many clues, I’d like you to delve deeper into the meaning of this word for you and illustrate this word through your photography. It could be related to a source, the origin of a thing or being, a foundation, an anchor and lots more. Have fun and let your mind explore.” –from Susan Spiritus via laphotocurator.com

For the past twenty years the Susan Spiritus gallery has participated in local art fairs including PhotoLA, the Los Angeles Art show, Photo San Francisco, Los Angeles Festival of Books, and most recently, Classic Photographs Los Angeles.

cutting THE FAT

I dropped out of culinary school half way through. It occurred to me as I was practicing a particularly complicated knife skill one Friday night that I didn’t want to live and work and eat all in the same place. My attention span is too short to have stuck with it. The irony that my life now revolves around food in many ways isn’t lost on me. This next Call offers you an opportunity to have it all, have it in one place, and have it FREE. Not kidding…

nothing’s imPASTAble

For several years of my life, holiday menus went Italian. We celebrated with spaghetti, lasagna and cannelloni. It was always a simple one-dish + side-salad affair.

open & say YUM

I believe in food as medicine. Like a lot of you, I have a couple of chronic health conditions that require medication, including cough-variant asthma. I have chosen to take the least amount of medication possible to suppress side effects –specifically to my voice. Green tea with honey, cayenne & turmeric is loaded with anti-inflammatories that really help prepare my voice for the level of use I have to sustain. The positive? I take fewer prescription drugs. The negative? My tongue is always orange, ha. This next Call wants your positive and/or negative take for the 32nd year in a row. Take a look…

for the love of DESSERT

There IS scientific data to back up the validity of some effects of so-called aphrodisiacs, but some are a real stretch. We all know about the standards, oysters & coffee & chili peppers, but my favorites remain figs & honey. Both preserve well in various forms so that I can buy them in peak season, and they just invite Greek dessert recipes which are winners in my house every time. This next Call is also for Valentine’s Day. Take a look…

for the love of SUSHI

Raw fish and seaweed tend to be very polarizing ingredients. Rarely do I meet someone who has a take-it-or-leave-it attitude about sushi. It tends to be love or hate every time. I understand why raw fish lacks appeal for so many. But, I find converting friends into sushi-lovers is often as simple as the surprise lunch. Sushi kitchens are usually spotless; the food is usually delicious & flavorful. Finding lovers of public art is far easier, and this next Call proves it every year. Take a look…
