FLAVOR bombs

Was there a bumper crop of clementines this year?  Most winters I cling to them as a dose of orange-y sunshine while I wait for the greens to turn green and the tomatoes to lose their gray, hot house pallor.  But, truth-be-told, most clementines I buy seem flavorless starting around the end of February.  But this year we’re into April, and they are still bursting with flavor and adding beautiful color to so many of my meals.  This next Call wants to see your color inspiration.  Take a look…

“In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is—as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art. In order to use color effectively it is necessary to recognize that color deceives continually. Color is “passive,” “deceptive,” and “unstable,” color behaves, color  ismagic.”   – Joseph Albers, Interaction ofColor

Did you know the red squirrel bites the side of the maple tree so that syrup will drip & dry on the bark for later snacking?  Clearly people aren’t the only ones with a sugar addiction.  Because we so rarely have pancakes at my house, my husband makes syrup from scratch when needed.  It is the only thing that keeps me from chugging it straight from the container some days.  Animals we are.  This next Call wants your animal perspective.  Show them your best…

CRAVING connections

Sometimes I find myself in an awkward moment standing with a stranger on a grocery aisle while we both debate the merits of one brand of product against another –anchovy paste, pickled watermelon rind or powdered peanut butter, for example.  Do two people both interested in watermelon rind automatically have something in common aside from a taste in food?  I often wonder as I stand there silently next to them, whether our lives have other odd points of intersection.  Are we birds of a feather?  This next Call is all about the birds.  Take a look…

I am particularly anxious for Spring to arrive this year.  We’re getting closer to when my yearly batch of fiddleheads arrive from the northeast.   I have a friend that sends these asparagus-reminiscent beauties to me once a year.  And as much as I love them, my anticipation of Spring is about more this year.  The symbolism of future promise and new beginnings will weigh on my palate with every fork of fiddlehead this year.  This next Call is also inspired by nature.  Investigate this opportunity…

sprouts of SPRING

Green onions are among the first shoots sent up in Spring.   They taste like the more refined cousin of wild onions whose smell I associate with fresh-cut grass.  The greens are only fresh for a few days, but the bulbs protect themselves by turning outer layers into a husk-like spring jacket.  The green, slightly bitter bite they offer quiche is high on my list of favorite flavors.  This next Call is also one of my favorites of Spring.   Take a look…

spring GLORIOUS spring

Spring seems to come earlier every year.

THAI tofu

I was out having Thai food for lunch with a friend lately.  I ordered massaman curry with shrimp; she ordered green curry with tofu.  I will never understand.  I said, “Tofu?”, and she replied, “of course, it is my favorite”.  Seriously?  I am certain there are a lot of people who appreciate tofu as a vegetarian-friendly protein that will take on the flavors of other foods.  But she looked me in the face and said, “it is my favorite”.  NO.  It isn’t really anyone’s favorite, is it?  I was looking at the face of deprivation, right?  Someone explain tofu to me.  Again.  Please. This next Call wants to see the Face of Humanity, not necessarily of a tofu lover (assuming those really exist, ha).  Investigate this opportunity…
