CALL for ENTRIES: Fork & Knife

Posted on January 22, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MODERATION
kills?

All of my life, some adult or the other has been saying “everything in moderation” to me. It has always been my favorite justification for pizza, brownies, and other I-should-know-better indulgences. Then I watched Forks over Knives and heard “moderation kills”. You know what killed me? Their version of moderation was eating dairy and meat. Really? Milk is an indulgence now? I have to admit, I have lowered my dairy and meat intake, but clearly, moderation is going to kill me. This next Call is NOT about moderation, but it IS about food. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Manhattan Perceived

Posted on January 19, 2013February 1, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

HOTDOG
disasters

When I was in second grade, we lived in Little Rock, Arkansas for 18 weeks. My dad was on loan from Lockheed Georgia to Falcon Jet as an aircraft inspector. And during that 18 weeks, we say 108° temperatures, 18″ of snow AND a 3′ flood. No joking. Snow meant I got to go the movie theater and eat leftover popcorn. The flood meant I got to stay home with my dad in our apartment on the 2nd floor and eat LOTS of hotdogs and popcorn. I made myself sick with Cheese Dogs and made-for-TV movies. Wouldn’t it be nice if all natural disasters could be seen through ONLY through the eyes of child? For all those kids that had to see Hurricane Sandy in a far uglier light, this contest is one of many great ways we can all help. Take a look…
