How is it that I love soy nuts and edamame, but cannot stand tofu?  I’ve tried it firm and silken and every other variety.  Ick.  I just can’t handle the texture.  Something about it seems, well, wrong.  But, I didn’t used to like ginger, beets or aspargus, and now I eat each of them regularly.  Maybe I’ll warm up to tofu.  You know Iowa is famous for corn, but they grow lots of soybeans too.  This next Call hails from Iowa.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Octagon Center for the Arts (Ames, Iowa) for the 43rd Annual Octagon Art Festival. We’ve had a lot of requests for additional art festival listings, so here’s one nearly in the middle of the US that makes it approximately day’s drive from half the US.  Don’t be shy…
