CUISINE

I get a lot of questions about living without gluten. When I tell waitstaff at a restaurant, I am met with “I’m sorry” or the sad-trombone-look-of-pity almost every time. Don’t cry for me Argentina. GF eating IS what you make it. It has made my family more adventurous, open and creative when it comes to food. Feminism is the same; it IS what YOU make it–good & bad. This next Call wants to know what YOU make of it. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Woman Made Gallery (Chicago, IL) for Feminism (n.) Plural. This is a special gallery with a fantastic history of well-curated shows, and the juror is the new Executive Director at WMG. Open to both women & men…

Plant your onions. No, really. For many of us, it is already time to start your onions indoors to be able to transplants seedlings in Early Spring. For those of you in colder zones, you can still wait a couple of weeks. But don’t wait too long. Spring is coming.

Posted on January 12, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

just a
LITTLE BITE

Smaller isn’t always the same. Every member of my household is an avid label reader due to food allergies. One of the most important lessons we have learned is that miniature and compact versions of foods are not necessarily the same, nutritionally speaking. I find miniatures of candy bars are often sweeter due to a different ratio of ingredients than the originals. Sometimes, they add thickeners or starches to help them better hold their more compact shape as well. Be careful. This next show is all about the VIRTUES of being compact. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Colour Burst

Posted on January 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

JUST SAY NO
the brown has gotta go

I’m growing weary of brown foods. We don’t often fry anything in our house, and we don’t eat wheat. But, because we try our very best not to eat processed or artificially-colored food, the color in our diets almost solely depends on fresh vegetables. There isn’t an abundance of beautifully colored veggies in season right now. And, I can only eat so many servings of spinach and so many servings of sweet potatoes. Bring on the beets, please. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. I know it is. In the meantime, lets all direct our rainbow-coloured desires to this next Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Lines

Posted on January 4, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

LINING UP
for dinner

As linear foods go, I make a mean grilled eggplant lasagna. I don’t usually fall for the layered foods like 7-layer dips and trifles, but lasagna is the exception. Most people are replacing the meat when they use eggplant in lasagna, I’m really replacing the noodles. While I can find wheat-less pasta of most types, lasagna noodles have eluded me. So, eggplant makes a gorgeous replacement. I make it in a glass plan just to get the composition perfect. Ridiculous. This next Call is a far better use of a line obsession. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Lines. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. And the theme leaves lots of room for interpretation. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Lines

Lines are powerful compositional elements that control the way eyes move through an image. The effect that lines have on an image varies. Horizontal lines convey a sense of width, stability, calm, lazy, security, relaxation, constancy and timelessness. Whereas vertical lines convey a sense of strength, height, integrity, solidity, dominance, power, peace & tranquility, substance or permanence. This Call is for images that utilize lines in innovative and dynamic ways. — from darkroomgallery.com

the cornball
TRUTH

Iowa = Corn. I have no doubt Iowans are justifiably proud of their corn. But, I could not BELIEVE they reintroduced my favorite food with a twist –Caprese Salad on a Stick. The Iowa State Fair debuted this genius idea in 2014. How did I miss this one? I ended up using it at my own art opening less than a month later. This next Call is another reasons Iowans should be proud. Investigate this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Chronograph

Posted on December 7, 2014December 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

cold or
FROZEN?

To freeze or not to freeze– THAT is the question. I tend to cook in large quantities. I do it on purpose to provide additional dinners, but mostly lunches, with the same amount of effort it took to make dinner. The problem is that not all food freezes well. Chili is great reheated after being frozen for a week, but potato soup becomes paste after only a day in the freezer. Casseroles take on a luscious, unctuous quality while mushrooms turn to rubber. This next Call want you to freeze TIME, for better or for worse. Brilliant. Are you up for the challenge?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Chronograph. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. But, I have a soft spot for this theme. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Chronograph

“Photography is a medium renowned for freezing time. However, there are many facets and dichotomies this theme of chronology can visually explore. Darkroom Gallery is calling for explorative visual depictions of time. Pasts and futures can often collide…and what of time travelers and quantum physics? Lastly, photographs can be truly devoid of time, they can have a sort of classic “timelessness”. “ — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

THEME: Time-oriented photography; vintage, futuristic or rhythmic imagery.

DEADLINE: December 28, 2014

NOTIFICATION: January 4, 2015

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 (online)/$29 (email)

He will continue producing ‘Coastal’ in 2015.

My first taste of coconut milk, and I was sold. It isn’t always that way. Beets took 20 years to get on my good side. But coconut milk is good in everything.
