DRAGONS

I think finding some fantastic foods is an omen that better foods are coming. If I find dragon fruit in the produce section of a grocery, chances are good I’ll find great rack of lamb too. Likewise, if the amuse bouche is delightful, then the Chef’s Choice entree is probably what I want. This next Call hits me the same way–an art sale in a bank. Just saying…

SNOW

Coconut snow creme anyone? I’m trying to come up with a logical way to combat my winter frustration. Because I live near a little-traveled corner of the National Park, I STILL have access to untrodden-snow in area that is as free from harsh chemicals and pesticides as one can approximate in 2014. So, I will use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and dream of a sitting on a Florida beach while writing during the latest bout of snow showers. This next Call wants to bring you to their sunny Florida local for the opening of Camera USA. I can’t wait…

FLOUR

All I want for my birthday is a biscuit. My birthday is June 6th. On Christmas Day, I made my birthday request of my mother. She’s the best biscuit-maker I know, my husband being a close 2nd, but neither of them has yet to master a gluten-free biscuit. I can only hope one of them figures it out. It is the only gluten-laden food I miss. And, in a cruel twist of fate, this Call is in my backyard. I can’t bear the thought, so please, someone make me proud…

OLIVE
you too

Only a very small handful of my friends will abide long debates about varietal olive oils. My favorite varietal is made from Frantoio olives. Frantoio olives are widely used in Tuscan olive oils–peppery and bitter and pungent and a bit grassy. Just a few of my food freaky friends will stick around for these debates because we are peas in a pod. This next Call is for peas of the painting pod. Take a look…

EGGHEAD

I’ve been teaching my son to cook. Well, I’ve been teaching my son to make food–that’s more accurate. He loves egg salad. So, we’ve begun with how to boil an egg and the importance of paprika. You’d be amazed at how often those two, simple factors can ruin egg salad. Just because they are easy or comfortable doesn’t make them less challenging in their own way. This next Call is from one of my favorite organizations, and it is easy to enter. But, it is an opportunity not to be overlooked…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for Knoxville Photo 2014. This is a great show run by a great organization. I’ve shown here several times, and I was even the juror last year…

So, this next Call is a great opportunity to express your love of the sea in virtually any media or size. Take a look…
