jars & JARS & jars

Canning food is a time-consuming preparation, but the rewards are huge. So far, I have managed to shrugged the task off on my mother. Tomatoes, beets & chow chow are my favorites, but eventually she will make me take over. The last time I canned tomatoes, it resulted in jars exploding in my laundry room. No amount of time makes makes that mess worth it, but this next Call will buy you 6 months. Take a look…

medical EDIBLE florals

Lavender infused whipped cream is a favorite treat in my house. But at the moment, I am growing lavender in a window sill for my husband’s head. The weather has been so beautiful that I’ve been leaving the doors open without benefit of screen doors, and every night mosquitoes make a meal of Jon’s forehead. Lavender is both a sleep-inducing aromatic and a mosquito repellent. So, homemade lavender-infused coconut oil is my medicinal hope for continuing to enjoy open doors. This next Call wants your perspective on health & medicine, but it doesn’t have to be edible. Plus, free entry…

FRUIT-ish

Aside from an occasional banana or orange, most of my fruit experiences as a kid were of the fruit cocktail variety. But as an adult, I have come to appreciate the singular special-ness of fruit on its own. I almost (just almost) prefer it to chocolate. It does not have the richness added by fat content, but it has a simplicity that I find equally decadent. Simple and sweet. This next call is also a simple opportunity with big payoff. This could be right for you…

You can always find chickpeas in my cabinet. Be they canned or dried, they are a go-to item that has so many uses –from toasted finger food in the spring, to protein-rich soups in winter.

taking WHISKS

Recipes are sort of like guide books for me. I have no interest in doing exactly what they say, but they are a great jumping-off point. There are exceptions, thousands of them. See “baking”. Baking is a science. Baklava, croissant, sourdough, layer cakes–making them is either complicated or at the very least time-consuming, but the pay off is HUGE. This next Call is like that. There are a LOT of details, so read the prospectus in full, but the pay of is huge. First prize is $120,000, and it isn’t limited to representational work. Take a look at this one…
