just PEACH-y

I sent my husband to the farmers market for turnips & beets.  He came home with honey & peaches.  I suppose it isn’t like going to the grocery where there are a proscribed list of possible foods you will encounter.  Instead, the farmers market offers an almost endless range of possibilities within your growth climate, lending itself to surprises, naturally.  This next Call is hoping for those same possibilities.  Send them a peach…

DINNER for one entire night

I’m a restaurant camper, and I apologize.  I want the pace of dinner to drag on all night and this isn’t always the same pace at which the restaurant can afford to turn over table.  Luckily, I am also a big tipper and luckily that sometimes buys lots of forgiveness from the serving staff.  This next Call is all about rhythm –fast or slow.  Take a look…

Tired of broccoli?  Me too.  Tired of kale?  I think everyone is.  What about purslane?  It is a succulent herb that has a touch of a bitter overtone.  It is technically a weed, but that just means it is easy to grow.  If you don’t have it naturally growing in your yard, you can buy the seeds on the cheap.  Try it in stir fry or salads.  It might add a new twist on the green portion of your meal.  This next Call wants to how your work is informed by all things green.  And someone will win a $500 grant as well…

THEME:  Green  “art that focuses on color, that is, a subject enhanced, here, by the use of the color green, in particular. The extent of this application to the composition is not a consideration in the judging of each piece.  How the color green engages the viewer to enter the artist’s narrative defines these evaluations—nothing more.  We look forward to receiving potential entries which capture a mood, relay a message, or inspire a viewer to interpret the artist’s work through their intuitive and perhaps methodical utilization of various green shades.” — art-competition.net

sugar or cake CONES?

I am addicted to cones of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate.  More accurately, I love the chocolate dipped diary, not the cone, but I have great respect for the edible nature of this delivery system.  Why don’t we have more edible packaging?  I don’t know either.  (BTW, no, I do NOT want to know about the probably-scary, chemical explanation for why dipping chocolate hardens.  Ignorance is bliss.)  This next Call is all about cones (and rods), but of the photoreceptor quality.  I’ve shown work at this venue, and I can’t wait to see this show…

slow BURN

Four days out of seven find my family eating spicy foods.  Before I quit smoking five years ago, I suspected my tolerance for spicy food came from my deadened taste buds.  But after years as a non-smoker, we eat more hot food, not less.  However, I’m not usually a fan of overtly fiery foods; I prefer the slow burn that simmers just below the surface.  I frequently start dinner thinking “this needed more heat” and end the meal with a flush having creeped up my scalp.  This next Call wants to know what is layered just below the surface of your work.  Take a look…

if looks could KALE

Lettuce & tomato are the exception, not the norm, in hamburger toppings any longer.  You can get burgers made from soy, mushrooms or fried eggs,  topped by aioli infused with truffles or ghost chiles, and even I have fallen under the spell of maple syrup drizzled over arugula.  Don’t knock it.  Inventive food combinations require an uncommon type of creativity.  This Call wants your inventive work.  Take a look…

new SPINACH leaf

My diet has been less than ideal for the past month.  I’ve been stress eating all the cheese and fried food I can get my hands on lately, and surprise, I’m feelin’ kinda crappy.  I started this week on a positive note though.  I’m turning over a new leaf this week, well lots of new leaves — spinach leaves, among other foods that support health and uplift my mood.  Hopefully the tide will turn on the “yucks”.  This next Call is looking for work to put in an uplifting position, in a literal sense.  Take a look…

my CREME-filled heart

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary with Chinese takeout because neither of felt like cooking or grocery shopping.  It was our typical night egg drop soup & steamed dumplings, but the thing that made the night a celebration came in a paper bag.  A beautiful, fresh chocolate eclair from our local doughnut shop, a guilty pleasure from the middle years of our marriage when that was one of the only splurges we could afford.  Since then, I tend to watch my sugar intake and my husband was diagnosed with a wheat allergy.  But with a that single damn-the-consequences pastry, I felt the heart flutter that says he’ll stick for another twenty.  Some of the best things come in, or on, paper just like in this next Call.  Plus the gallery is gorgeous…

say CHEESE

I can’t imagine how many times I have written the words “I love goat cheese”.  It is easy for me to for to write these posts and reveal my food soul and forget that people READ these posts.  But when I give career development seminars, I have readers that show up (thank you) and have conversations with me about food that remind me that people know way too much about what I eat, ha.  Recently at a seminar about branding yourself as an artist, I had someone bring me goat’s milk soap since they couldn’t keep goat’s milk cheese cold. ♥  This next Call doesn’t have a lot of requirements, but one of them is that your design must include a goat.  No, I’m not kidding.
