CALL for ENTRIES: Infected 4

LEMONY

I ran across Buddha’s finger a couple of years ago.  What a bizarre, other-worldly looking fruit.  It is a type of citron and has the aroma of a lemon.  It makes great candied peel and is fantastic for flavoring vodka, or infusing oil or sugar.  The best part is that the pith doesn’t have the bitter taste that is commonly in the white of the lemon.  I would love to have a keep just for ornamental reasons since fruit tends to last longer “on the vine” than flowers do.  The fruit of this tree just doesn’t look real.  The next Call wants just the opposite–subject matter that appears real but is not.  This is a science fiction lovers dream…

ROOTS

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already.  My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks.  With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November.  Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two.  My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change.  This Call is a great use for the extra $.

Have you ever eaten a persimmon?  I am headed out for a road-trip soon, and I am super excited about eating persimmon pudding in Indiana.  Persimmons are typically cultivated in the southeastern U.S. but grow WILD throughout much of Indiana.  I think their love of this weird little fruit has resulted in some of the best uses, including the notorious pudding.  Give a persimmon a try.  Make sure it is ripe though; trust me.  This next Call IS ripe and from Indiana.  (I know.  Bad.  Sorry.)  This is a great call…

I love an amuse-bouche as much as the next foodie.  I love tapas & small plate menus too.  But, I don’t understand the tiny food trends I am seeing.  The videos of tiny food being made on tiny appliances? I am clearly missing something.  I cannot find a point to the concept of tiny food except for the cute factor.  Where food is concerned, more is almost inevitably better in my house.  But there is a time & place for everything.  This next Call is the perfect way to dive into tiny works.  Now to learn how to bind my work…

fiends

Every last member of my family is a mustard fiend.  There are rarely ever appearances of plain yellow mustard in my house.  Dijon is the mustard of choice for the majority of the family.  And while I have a soft spot for homemade, hot Chinese mustard, I rarely indulge (too lazy to make it).  Brown mustard gets an occasional at bat around here on a whim, but Dijon is our comfort zone, our fall back, our home base if you will.  This next gallery is a little like home base for me.  Please don’t miss this opportunity…

EATS

My grocery bill is absurd.  I’m not having dinners of foie gras & truffles.  In fact, most of our meals are vegetable laden.  I try to stop by the farmers market at my local apple orchard.  This week, it was $25 for apples, onions, 4 sweet potatoes, 3 bell peppers & 2 eggplant.  As you might imagine, I then proceeded to spend a fortune at the grocery store to supplement my farmers market finds.  I have a family of only three people + my four-legged child.  I buy in-season, cost-conscious items.  I consider myself a master food shopper, and I can barely hang on to a healthy menu.  How are people without access to locally-grown produce options supposed to avoid eating processed food?  The economics of hunger are devastating.  This next Call is an excellent use of YOUR $25.  Take a look…

Everywhere I go there are pumpkins.  Big orange jack-o-lantern-style pumpkins are everywhere –shipped in from farms across the state.  Funny enough, while my neighbors (along with most of the country) are obsessed with pumpkin-flavored everything, there are almost NO pumpkins meant for cooking (sugar pumpkins) to be found in grocery stores.  Trust me, you don’t want to make a pie out of a carving pumpkin.  Ick.  This next Call wants to know about your landscape, seascape, etc.  Your “scape” doesn’t have to be orange, BTW…

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…

HOOPS

I have plastic envy.  Hoop houses are sprouting up all over town as pre-planning for chances of upcoming frost.  Last year our first snow came in October.  Locally lots of folks protect their late Summer plantings from possible early frost while also giving them space to start seedlings in colder weather.  Once the ground is frozen, installation becomes a much more complicated project.  My house hangs on the side of a mountain.  The only flat space I have for a hoop house is my gravel driveway, ha.  Jealous of plastic –never thought I’d have that problem.  This next Call will hopefully make you the object of the jealous.  Take a look…
