CALL for ENTRIES: Creatures

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. The simplicity seemed to suit every palate, real & imagined, from adults to the kid’s table and even those surprise guests that just turned up without notice. Why did we every stop? I can’t remember. This Call wants to know about your creatures, both real & imagined. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: P/N 32

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.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art in Public Places

Posted on December 11, 2016December 10, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

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…

CUISINE closeup

I have kept my word. I am taking fewer pictures of my food in public. You would be proud. I am amazed at how often I’ve finished a dish before it occurred to me “I should have photographed that”. Maybe I’ve just been too hungry by the time food arrives. And, while my Insta feed is decidedly less interesting, my food IS warmer. This next Call wants to know how social media has influenced YOUR work. Take a look…

I had to throw out everything in my fridge & freezer Sunday. Due to the wildfire, my house was without power for a week. My groceries stewed. It wasn’t pretty.

I crave comfort food. I have always been an emotional eater, and in my defense, this year HAS sucked. Bizarre business twists, unexpected career delays, personal financial crisis followed by health issues, a relentless year of election propaganda and now a wildfire, a house robbery & now more dreams delayed.

It is a soft spot for me, and I want it to be for you. Love…
