CALL
for ENTRIES:
Curvilinear

“Planar lines that wind, wend and soar through a image’s field of focus. Curving components within a photograph give the image depth, allowing the viewer’s eye to move through the frame almost effortlessly. It is almost as if the photographer takes the viewer by the hand, draws them into the frame, and points the way. The viewer’s eyes are compelled to follow the line of the curvature. Darkroom Gallery is calling for images that possess this curvy compositional trait.” –darkroomgallery.com

“In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.” –Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

NO LEMON
in my coffee, please

I haven’t been to Rhode Island in years. The Ocean State is famous for a lot of foods like the delight that is the delicate version of calamari. But, I can’t resist a couple of beverages that call Rhode Island home–frozen lemonade from Del’s® and cabinets. Cabinets are a coffee drink or milkshake-like treat made from coffee ice cream, coffee syrup and milk. They aren’t easy to find, but they ARE worth the search. This next Call might be willing to accept coffee prints in honor of sharing its home with the iconic drink. Either way, they are both worth a second look…

EAT MY
bouquet

Did you know orchids are edible? Many of you have probably seen the sugared variety high atop a wedding cake or as a garnish, but they’re great in salads too. The flavor is a bit like cucumber with the texture of a buttery lettuce and a touch of the bitter bite of endive. Don’t eat orchids given to you as gifts. If they weren’t grown by you, please be sure you only eat certified organic orchids. The use of pesticides is prevalent in commercially farmed ornamental plants; so, be careful. This next Call can center on orchids. It is all up to you…

GREEN
goodness

My kitchen smells of heavenly green cardamom. It IS expensive, and I AM cheap. But, I never regret the purchase. I offset the expense by buying it ground instead of in the pod. It loses flavor quickly when you store it ground, but cardamom is used in a huge number of cultures for dishes both sweet & savory. It is a staple of Indian & Thai foods, but it is also found in Nordic breads & sweet treats. You will love what cardamom will do for rice pudding or hot tea. This next Call is international, just like my kitchen. Take a look…

SUGAR skulls &

My family enjoys participating in cultural celebrations from around the world. None of us grew up with any sort of specific cultural traditions aside from spaghetti night or BBQ on Father’s Day. So each year we adopt Chinese New Year, Oktoberfest & even the Day of the Dead as our very own. Chinese New Year gives us an extra 6 weeks or so to make plans for the upcoming year (Yes, we really are late to everything –even making resolutions, ha). Dia de Los Muertos offers us a time to tell stories about those we’ve lost. I’ve lost a lot of people lately, and it is a great comfort to take time to celebrate them. This next Call is interested in that same celebration. Take a look…
