SUSTENANCE

When left alone, I tend to eat solitary foods. I stood in my kitchen and ate cottage cheese (from the container & yes it was end of the container). For breakfast yesterday, strawberries. For Monday’s snack, pickled beets. But my meals with family or friends are balanced and diverse. I try not to overthink it; surely it is just simplicity, not laziness, right? This next Call requires neither simplicity nor laziness, but you will be on your own. Be brave…

WINE
with friends

Food with friends is my favorite event — trumped only by food, friends, family & art. I am thrilled to be planning a 2016 trip to Seattle where cedar plank salmon and a Washington state wine with my favorite creatives are on my wish list. Did you know that Washington is home to 850+ wineries & 350+ grape growers. This Call hails from Washington and also appears prominently on my wish list. It may be right for yours too…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo Show Opportunity

Posted on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER FOR ONE
and one alone

I don’t share well. I don’t share anything well, but food is the worst. I am not proud of it. Maybe it is an only child thing. I can logically know that a dish will be too much for me, but I will still not agree to share instead. If I agree to a lets-get-one-of-each-and-share deal, we have to quite literally cut them in half upon arrival & exchange the halves. Otherwise I spend the meal obsessing about whether or not my husband will eat more than his half. I fall short of counting french fries–but just barely. So, my submission to this next Call will likely be a solo one (although my better self sometimes triumphs); however, you are welcome to contemplate sharing. Take a look…

STEAM

My son is learning to cook. More accurately, my husband & I are forcing our son to cook dinner once per week. He has shown no really interest in producing meals–only eating them. So, we are not giving him an option. My concern is that if he doesn’t learn how, he’ll be forced to eat commercially-processed crap his entire life. He doesn’t like cooking. Doing anything solo the first time is scary, but my kiddo has turned it into a pressure-cooked affair. Let’s hope it gets easier. This next Call is YOUR chance to do art solo. Don’t stress, just submit a proposal…

CALL for ENTRIES: Indie Grits

Posted on November 25, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

simple
STAPLE

I have grits for breakfast 3+ days per week. I have a favorite brand of organic, non-GMO grits that never cease to inspire. On a busy morning, it is scrambled eggs over the top of cheese grits. The next morning, the refrigerated left over grits are cut into cakes that are sauteed and used as the base for Eggs Benedict. This morning it was Charleston-style milk grits with a poached egg & chorizo. There is no end to the independent spirit of this simple staple. This next Call is an inspiration of grits proportions as well. Take a look…

OH MY DARLIN’

It is clementine season. Every year around this time, clementines start popping up in the grocery store, and every year I muse over the fact that they seem more like summer fruit than winter. Did you know that in California (where they were grown as early as 1904), a lot of people call them Christmas Oranges? Who knew. This next Call also hails from California. Take a look!

CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo in Vegas

Posted on March 29, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BEADS of SILVER

Dragées remind me of Las Vegas. You know… the little candy beads, often silver, that you see decorating cakes and cupcakes. Dragées also remind me of a Martha Stewart show many moons ago when Miss Piggy was the guest star, and they made cookies decorated with “dra-geeeees,” as Miss Piggy pronounced it. But, I digress. This next call has nothing to do with Miss Piggy and everything to do with Vegas. Take a look…

PIZZA,

I try not to get stuck in a food rut. I am guilty of spaghetti night, taco night, and pizza night; however, every 3 or 4 weeks I try to change up the menus to include wacky new options on our menu. How are we to ever know if we want to add a lamb kebab night if we don’t try. This next Call proves that with 9 shows per year, they rarely get in a rut. Check it out…
