sprouts of SPRING

Green onions are among the first shoots sent up in Spring. They taste like the more refined cousin of wild onions whose smell I associate with fresh-cut grass. The greens are only fresh for a few days, but the bulbs protect themselves by turning outer layers into a husk-like spring jacket. The green, slightly bitter bite they offer quiche is high on my list of favorite flavors. This next Call is also one of my favorites of Spring. Take a look…

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…

CHERRIES

Did you know there is an edible form of the dogwood? Cornus Mas, aka Cornelius Cherry Dogwood, produces small ruby red or yellow fruit that makes great jam. The fruit is a common Iranian snack when salted, and I’ve even heard rumors that a few home brewers have been make wine from the fruit. I’m thinking that finding the jam might be the easiest start. In the meantime, let’s celebrate the non-edible dogwood by making art for this next Call. Take a look…

Today, I ate a peach in a public park under a dogwood tree in the dappled sunlight of a gorgeous 78° Sunday afternoon. Oh Summer, I am going to miss you. With the first day of Fall just days away, I am mourning the upcoming loss of fragrant, lush fresh tomatoes & peaches while still looking forward to a beautiful nip in the air. This next Call will put your art in public, possibly in a park and definitely connected to a dogwood of sorts. Investigate…
