It is the first day of Fall, and I am still nursing my garlic chives from Spring.  I received a gift of a 6″ starter of garlic chives from a farmers market vendor.  And, instead of re-potting, I just sat it in a dish in my window sill and kept clipping and watering.  Miraculously, it is still here –testament to an excellent offering from an excellent farmer.  This next Call is excellent.  Trust me, you won’t regret sending a proposal. I promise.

I miss fish.  I live in a land-locked state; therefore saltwater fish are expensive if you can even find it fresh.  I love the abundant mountain trout, but a simple grilled flounder or grouper is just a dream.  If you can find no other reason to visit Florida, let me recommend the fish –and this next call.  Take a look at this one…

Here today, gone tomorrow –ah, transient tomatoes.  Just last week I was lamenting how many ways I could quickly preserve the abundance of tomatoes I brought home from the farmers market.  Now?  I have a handful of tiny Romas left before I have to suffer the grocer’s sad selection of hard, hot house harlots that pass as tomatoes. This next Call wants your take on transience, physical, mental or ethereal.  Take a look…

“. . . photography itself is transient, so I think the transient aspects of photographs remain relevant and interesting. This call for entries seeks images that relate in some way to physical or psychic movement, the nature of being and non-being, aspects of our various experiences, the retelling and visualization of dreams, expressions of spirituality, or any other interpretation of the word transience- both material and ethereal.” –from Adam Finkelston via laphotocurator.com

“I wish you had a better relationship with breakfast” is a commonly-expressed sentiment from by my husband.  I don’t know if my body simply has become intolerant of pre-noon meals or if I am just bored of the selection of breakfast-approved foodstuffs.  But, I do know myself, and asking me to consume more than a piece of fruit for breakfast (with a rare Benedict exception) isn’t realistic. This next Call wants to know if you know yourself.  Take a look…

“IF the ancient Greeks implored us to ‘know thyself’ and common knowledge assures us that ‘a picture is worth a thousands words’, doesn’t it follow that the amalgamation of random know-nothing’s collectively called ‘the human race’ should be CONSTANTLY photographing themselves in an effort to gain true wisdom and artistic insight?

The downside of eating local, in season food is familiarity.  During the peak of Summer, I grown at the site of a  crookneck squash, in Fall it is the pumpkin.  But, I have found THE solution –unexpected parings.  Combining two familiar ingredients in an unexpected way can refresh the palate and your menu.  Pumpkin & oranges, white chocolate & sage, avocados & maple syrup. Try one.  Sometimes it is all about the right combination.  The next call offers a way for you to combine your work with film to spectacular effect.  Take a look…

While traveling around the country, people often ask what food I miss most from home.  The truth is, what I really miss is tea — unsweetened, cold-but-not-iced, sans caffeine.  I drink at least a gallon a day.  I can make it on the road, but it isn’t the same.  Different water, different container, different refrigerator.  When I am nearly home from a road trip, I always think the same thing, “I can’t wait to get home & have a glass of tea” (and see my family and dog, yeah, yeah, I know).  This next call wants to know what “home” is to you.  Take a look…

It is casserole week at my house.  Every once in a while we spend a day assembling casseroles.  I don’t know why people consider them “easy” meals because they take excessive amounts of time, prep and organization, but I do find them convenient to have around once they are pre-prepared on a week I need free time at the end of the day.  Plus, when we have a bevy of rapidly ripening food from our local farmers market, casseroles offer an excellent long-term storage option via the freezer.  But the best part of making casseroles are the ingredients.  Like many of you, I am guilty of getting into a rut of one protein and two vegetable for meals; however, casseroles are a collage of sometimes a dozen or more ingredients.  The combination of ingredients makes for a special treat –like this next collage call.  Don’t miss this one…

Learn more about the Embracing our Differences exhibit! say CHEESE

I witnessed a cheese fight this week.  Okay, a cheese argument.  I was having dinner in a restaurant and overheard a fairly ugly discussion about sheep’s milk vs. cow’s milk cheeses.  As we finished our dessert, the conversation was headed toward a goat’s milk cheese debate, and fearful that I would be unable to jump in, I promptly exited.  Ridiculous. Given the world’s issues, the differences that separate cheese lovers may be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.  This next debate celebrates our differences, even amongst those passionate about cheese.  Take a look…

My Aunt Maggie B. loved marzipan. We would attempt to craft our own from honey, powdered sugar and finely ground almonds & foregoing the additional almond extract.  The year I spent with her trying to form our Play-Doh-like lumps into little fruit and vegetable shapes taught me that food color can be derived from real food, not just a jar, that gold and silver are edible in small amounts, and that treats well-labored taste better.  I celebrate the making & eating of every marzipan fruit with my great aunt Mag (RIP, 1922-2005).  This Call is a chance for you to celebrate life with someone who has already passed.  Take a look…
