We move to our “clean slate” apartment in about 6 weeks. It has a good-size front porch but almost no yard. The only green in site is a decayed and crumbling stepped flower bed next to the driveway. I don’t think I can really grow a lot of food, but I have a friend that says she can get me a cut of epazote, a Mexican herb that’s hard to find in these parts. Maybe if I surround it with marigolds and citronella, I might be able to save it from the bugs & their furrier 4-legged neighbors. This next Call wants to know about your flowers, plants & gardens. This is a perennial favorite, ha…

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

BLUES

I have broken my own blue-food rule. I have ranted & raved for years about food coloring. I have forever sworn off any faux food colored any shade of blue, but I have given in. This year will be my very first time in my life that I will have a “real” Christmas tree (living, as opposed to artificial). So, I decided that all the ornaments and decorations should be “real” too (read handmade or homemade). I couldn’t resist the most beautiful electric-blue gum drops I have ever seen. I am testing them out as a sweet garland. Forgive the hypocrisy, but I promise not to eat them. This next Call is another non-edible use for all things blue. Maybe this one’s for you…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Blue

I CAN’T HEAR YOU

I have friends who won’t eat food with a face. I am just relieved that my food can’t talk back. Oh, I don’t eat things while they are alive… despite recommendations to the contrary. Rare steak, sure.
