BLACK TRUFFLE

What happens when food imitates visual art? At Art Basel Hong Kong in 2015, that question was answered by 10 stellar chefs.  The image to the left is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon combination of French sea bass, seasonal black truffle, celery mousse line & Malabar pepper sauce to recreate Zao Wou-ki’s dark abstract work.   This dish, and at least 9 others in this vein, were available at restaurants in the Hong Kong area back in March.  I can’t know how tasty it was, but, my oh my, how beautiful.  This next Call wants your surreal work, but not the culinary version.  What was it Benjamin Franklin said? ““Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.  This exhibit is longer than 3 days, so hold the fish

MARSHMALLOWS
for roasting

The season of marshmallows & peppermint looms large.  Homemade marshmallows are the BEST.  I like to cut them in rounds just large enough to fit inside my mug of hot cocoa (like a giant crouton in french onion soup, ha).  Mine are made simply with water, sugar, gelatin, salt & vanilla.  Here’s a similar recipe if you want to give it a whirl.  Your cocoa will never be the same again.  This next Call wants your joyous Winter renderings.  Enjoy the season…

125 calories per ounce.  Hikers often aim to only pack foods that have a caloric count of at least 125 calories an ounce.  Can you imagine?  How many people do you know that eat celery because they believe it is an negative calorie food?  Priorities.  I am not an avid hiker.  Honestly, any hike that takes me more than a day is probably out of the question.  But even then I would have to pack food. I would be grateful for calorically dense food, if only because I would have less to carry, ha.  This next Call hails from the ultimate hiking mecca.  Take a look…

BOTTLE

I drink everyday–bottles & bottles of water.  As my alter ego, I perform 4 to 5 days per week, and on stage, I suck down approximately 24 ounces of water every 45 minutes to keep my voice in check.  So, let’s talk about the bottles.  I know that disposable bottles are not ideal due to the waste issue, but I am paranoid about being able to be certain that I am really getting disposable bottles truly clean.  I have searched for a reusable bottle that has a large enough opening (for proper cleaning) but is both very compact (has to fit on a mic stand) and non-descript (so it doesn’t stick out in every picture).  I am open to recommendations.  In the meantime, here’s an idea of what to do with YOUR water.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for H2O. $24 entry. We’re proud our readers have been both shown & awarded at Darkroom. You know you have work for this theme…

fiends

Every last member of my family is a mustard fiend.  There are rarely ever appearances of plain yellow mustard in my house.  Dijon is the mustard of choice for the majority of the family.  And while I have a soft spot for homemade, hot Chinese mustard, I rarely indulge (too lazy to make it).  Brown mustard gets an occasional at bat around here on a whim, but Dijon is our comfort zone, our fall back, our home base if you will.  This next gallery is a little like home base for me.  Please don’t miss this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for the Nat’l Juried Exhibition of 2016. This is a great arts organization. I have shown work here.  I have juried a show here.  I teach here.  I would love to see your contribution at this opening. Take a look…

SQUASH

While most of the world is obsessed with pumpkin-flavor, not actual pumpkin, I am reveling in the other winter squashes — butternut, acorn & patty pan.  My farmers market sells these squash, in season, for $1 each.  Split & roast one of each squash, scoop out the insides and puree through the food processor, add a little salt, pepper, garlic and a touch of curry or a few red pepper flakes, and the resulting squash soup is divine.  It looks like baby food, but the flavor is unbelievable.  I makes lunch for all three of us for at least two or three days.  Squash, just squash.  It’s a solo act, just like this next Call.  Take a look…

Everywhere I go there are pumpkins.  Big orange jack-o-lantern-style pumpkins are everywhere –shipped in from farms across the state.  Funny enough, while my neighbors (along with most of the country) are obsessed with pumpkin-flavored everything, there are almost NO pumpkins meant for cooking (sugar pumpkins) to be found in grocery stores.  Trust me, you don’t want to make a pie out of a carving pumpkin.  Ick.  This next Call wants to know about your landscape, seascape, etc.  Your “scape” doesn’t have to be orange, BTW…
