CALL for ENTRIES: Animals 2

eat my
FUNGI

I’m afraid of eating wild mushrooms. Correction, I am afraid of improperly identifying a mushroom as edible and doing unexpected harm to my family. So, I have been trying to decide whether or not to grow them myself. Growing mushrooms at home always conjures images of damp, basement-like conditions. But research indicates I can crow them on logs in dappled shade, above ground, among the living, with fewer creepy-crawlies. This next Call want to know your views, wild OR domestic, but no veggies–just animals. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Animals Wild or Domestic 2. $20 entry & open to 2D media. Cash prizes & great marketing tools too…

WILD

Have you ever eaten a persimmon? I am headed out for a road-trip soon, and I am super excited about eating persimmon pudding in Indiana. Persimmons are typically cultivated in the southeastern U.S. but grow WILD throughout much of Indiana. I think their love of this weird little fruit has resulted in some of the best uses, including the notorious pudding. Give a persimmon a try. Make sure it is ripe though; trust me. This next Call IS ripe and from Indiana. (I know. Bad. Sorry.) This is a great call…

CALL for ENTRIES: Tiny Book Show

soul FOOD

I love an amuse-bouche as much as the next foodie. I love tapas & small plate menus too. But, I don’t understand the tiny food trends I am seeing. The videos of tiny food being made on tiny appliances? I am clearly missing something. I cannot find a point to the concept of tiny food except for the cute factor. Where food is concerned, more is almost inevitably better in my house. But there is a time & place for everything. This next Call is the perfect way to dive into tiny works. Now to learn how to bind my work…

FRUIT

My experience with pre-packaged instant food is sketchy at best. You might find a box of instant oatmeal in my cabinet for lazy winter mornings. But I find that some foods that are unnaturally dehydrated to the extreme never really recover, like cheese & coffee, while others thrive, like cocoa and popcorn. I think of instant foods a little differently –preferring portable raw nuts, fruits, and even a few cheeses, best. This time of year though, pomegranates are my favorite. Just cut them in half, thump them with on spoon on the outside, and voilà –instant snackage. This next Call wants your instant favorites. Take a look…

WINE

Food with friends is my favorite event — trumped only by food, friends, family & art.

BLACK TRUFFLE

What happens when food imitates visual art? At Art Basel Hong Kong in 2015, that question was answered by 10 stellar chefs. The image to the left is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon combination of French sea bass, seasonal black truffle, celery mousse line & Malabar pepper sauce to recreate Zao Wou-ki’s dark abstract work. This dish, and at least 9 others in this vein, were available at restaurants in the Hong Kong area back in March. I can’t know how tasty it was, but, my oh my, how beautiful. This next Call wants your surreal work, but not the culinary version. What was it Benjamin Franklin said? ““Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.“ This exhibit is longer than 3 days, so hold the fish…

SKINNY & FAT

125 calories per ounce. Hikers often aim to only pack foods that have a caloric count of at least 125 calories an ounce. Can you imagine? How many people do you know that eat celery because they believe it is an negative calorie food? Priorities. I am not an avid hiker. Honestly, any hike that takes me more than a day is probably out of the question. But even then I would have to pack food. I would be grateful for calorically dense food, if only because I would have less to carry, ha. This next Call hails from the ultimate hiking mecca. Take a look…

MUSTARD
fiends

Every last member of my family is a mustard fiend. There are rarely ever appearances of plain yellow mustard in my house. Dijon is the mustard of choice for the majority of the family. And while I have a soft spot for homemade, hot Chinese mustard, I rarely indulge (too lazy to make it). Brown mustard gets an occasional at bat around here on a whim, but Dijon is our comfort zone, our fall back, our home base if you will. This next gallery is a little like home base for me. Please don’t miss this opportunity…

SQUASH

While most of the world is obsessed with pumpkin-flavor, not actual pumpkin, I am reveling in the other winter squashes — butternut, acorn & patty pan. My farmers market sells these squash, in season, for $1 each. Split & roast one of each squash, scoop out the insides and puree through the food processor, add a little salt, pepper, garlic and a touch of curry or a few red pepper flakes, and the resulting squash soup is divine. It looks like baby food, but the flavor is unbelievable. I makes lunch for all three of us for at least two or three days. Squash, just squash. It’s a solo act, just like this next Call. Take a look…
