TOUCHDOWN!

To my knowledge, there are no octagon shaped foods–unless you count chocolates that come in an octagon shaped box.  However, there are definitely seven-sided foods.  Tourné potatoes were a rival to my sanity in cooking school.  Two inches long with seven perfectly rounded sides.  We weren’t allowed to blunt the ends.  They had to be perfectly pointed little oblong taters–nearly football shaped.  It still causes me physical pain to even think about them.  But they were beautiful.  Let’s stick with the octagon, though, like the one in this next Call.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Octagon Center for the Arts (Ames, IA) for the 45th Annual Clay, Fiber, Paper, Glass, Metal, Wood National Juried Exhibition.  Don’t be fooled by the name, ANY MEDIA is considered.  Don’t miss this opportunity…
