CALL for ENTRIES: Women

Posted on February 25, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MOMMIE
dearest

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles. Whatever works is my motto. This next Call wants your slant on being a woman. Approx. 52% of you should have a bird’s eye view of this one…

SINFUL

Butter, cheese and chocolate. Those are three of the deadly sins right? They represent Sloth, Greed and Lust respectively in my household, ha. But, what is the world without a little sin?

CALL for ENTRIES: Your Fantasy

Posted on February 13, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

ALL MUSSELS
no brains

My fantasy meal changes. Some days, mac ‘n’ cheese and moon pies take the cake. But on days like today, I would kill for a dozen wine-steamed mussels with garlic butter and fresh parsley. My husband Jon says that it seems as though I hold his adult-onset allergy to shell fish against him. Today, he might be right. But, every meal doesn’t have to be a fantasy. This next Call IS all about the fantasy of it all. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Graceful Envelopes

Posted on February 5, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TWO anchovies
one EGG

One of my most prized possessions is a stolen recipe for Caesar Dressing. A restaurant in Savannah, GA served Caesar salad that was created table side. My mother and I drove 100 miles just to have lunch. After telling many servers over the years of our 100-mile trek, I convinced one to give me the illicit recipe–strictly against their non-disclosure statement. It is fantastic. I keep the recipe, hand-written by the server, in a special place, home only to my inherited family recipes. I could re-type it, but that would be a dishonor to the server that so kindly risked his job for my obsessive palate. This next Call is all about the handwriting. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mayhem

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

THE POPCORN
fiasco

I recently reclaimed my kitchen. Lately, the time I spend outside of my home office, art and music studios is greatly reduced, and now I handle almost ALL of the cooking again. I’m loving it, but I have become SO territorial. My husband can make popcorn, and it looks like someone has been killing zombies. And why, pray tell, if the dishwasher is empty can the dirty dishes not go there instead of on the counter? Deep breaths; I digress. This next Call is all about Mayhem; Send them your best…

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…

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban

Posted on December 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SU-SHI
or not to sushi

I used to think always equate urban settings with sushi; however, sushi can be found everywhere these days. I know of a town with a population of approximately 450, and even their local convenience store carries sushi. I may have to revert to the idea of street vendors or food trucks as urban food. Or maybe truly urban food is represented not by a specific type of food so much as a large variety of options. Hmmm. This next call wants to know how YOU define urban. Investigate this opportunity…
