hold the SHRIMP

The people with whom I eat most often have lots of food allergies –milk, shellfish, wheat. So how does a food co-exist with food allergies? The secret is parallel thinking. For example, I need to make chili paste for Thai dishes, but my husband is deathly allergic to shellfish. Who might love Thai food, but naturally wouldn’t eat shrimp? Vegetarians. Vegetarian chili paste is made with shiitake mushrooms as the substitute for shrimp. Problem solved. This next Call is about coexistence, diversity & inclusion on a much larger scale. Take a look…

new SPINACH leaf

My diet has been less than ideal for the past month. I’ve been stress eating all the cheese and fried food I can get my hands on lately, and surprise, I’m feelin’ kinda crappy. I started this week on a positive note though. I’m turning over a new leaf this week, well lots of new leaves — spinach leaves, among other foods that support health and uplift my mood. Hopefully the tide will turn on the “yucks”. This next Call is looking for work to put in an uplifting position, in a literal sense. Take a look…

Reflections no. 4: Politics(mosaic 56 x 15 x 36 cm) by Peter Vial — *Reflections no. 4: Politics (mosaic 56 x 15 x 36 cm) by Peter Vial*

“Watch from your gut, listen to your soul” — Peter Vial

___

We are, in total, comprised of the pieces and parts of our experience –both those celebrated and those survived. The mosaic work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day Peter Vial speaks to that patchwork in such a visual way. This work is so relatable, even though some of it is incredibly large. I bristle at the ubiquitous Nietzsche what-doesn’t-kill-you quote because it typically comes across as condescension or gaslighting, but Vial’s sculpture is a celebration of life, regardless of circumstance. There IS a difference, and I appreciate that sort of optimistic realism. No unicorns & rainbows. Thanks, Peter.

sweet or
SOUR?

There’s a battle brewing in my house. We live within 15 miles of two apple orchards. We only have room for a 5lb. bag of apples each week. This time of year, Crispins (green/golden apples) get my vote, while my husband seems single-mindedly obsessed with Braeburns (red apples). I don’t care what color they are, but red apples tend to be sweeter. We’ve finally taken to trading off weeks. On my weeks, I get to eat my slightly sour raw green apples; on his weeks, we make apple tarts, pies & crisps out of the red variety. I’m trying to embrace our differences–like the them of this next Call. Take a look…

I do not understand the over-size food craze. I occasionally watch Man vs. Food, and each time I wonder, “Will he ever want to eat that again?” Why would anyone order a 7lb burger, 5 gallons of ice cream or 4 lbs of pancakes unless they were having a party. The 10 ft. sub sandwich, that I understand. Party food. But where is the fun in making yourself ill with a food you may now love but never again be able to face? Well, this next call is all about over-sized goodness. Check it out…
