I am fascinated by molecular gastronomy.  Yes, you DO know what it is.  We’ve all watched the food shows where inevitably someone breaks out the liquid nitrogen.  Well, that’s just the tip of the buttercream iceberg. Chances are good you’ve EATEN something produced by this school of cooking…Dippin’ Dots for example.  This next Call should host an artists’ reception full of fun, spherized foods.  Maybe I should send them the suggestion…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Target Gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center (Alexandria, VA) for Petri Dish.  It is no secret that I love this gallery for their curatorial vision, but I think it is with good reason.  Investigate for yourself…
