pie or TAART

When I was a child, my grandmother would occasionally bake a special dessert and exclaim, “as American as apple pie” when she would deliver it to the table. I’m not sure why, just an odd familial colloquialism I suppose.  But apple pie certainly isn’t an American original.  The Dutch have recorded recipes for apple pie dating back to 1514.  An appeltaart is a deep pie with a pastry top and bottom.  It’s filled with a apple, sugar, cinnamon & lemon juice and sometimes raisins or currants.  Now, I’m hungry.  This next Call is for a residency in The Netherlands.  It is as Dutch as apple pie. *snicker*  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the SEA Foundation (The Netherlands) for a Open Call AiR.  30€ application fee.  Two residents will receive full funding; there are non-funded residency options as well.  This gift of time may be just what you need…

lost in TRANSLATION

So, I’m writing this post from an artist residency in New York.  I have been here for three days, and I have lost 5 pounds.  I am eating glorious food prepared in a traditional French manner breakfast, lunch & dinner, compliments of the restaurant on the property.  How is this possible you ask?  I eat exactly three meals a day.  Normally I am a grazer, eating off and on all day.  But, I am currently in a town with a population of approx. 150 people without a vehicle or availability of a local grocer.  I have spent three solid days in my studio coming out only to be fed,  and the end result is weight loss.  I can see the tabloid headline now — “Emerging Diet Trend:  eat anything & lose weight”.

FEEDING the anxiety

I’m notoriously an emotional eater.  I find comfort in food, and I know it is a slippery slope. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve quit trying to fight the desire to eat for comfort and have just tried to make better “comfortable” choices.  Politics being what they are in the U.S. would understandably drive anyone to drink, but I have resorted to guava.  Guava is my tropical fruit therapy, and then, of course, there’s art.  This next Call wants your political art.  Take a look…

WINE again

Food is like clothing, trends come & go, but the classics always look the same.  I went to culinary school two decades ago & the classics were lamb chops, Béarnaise butter, tourné cut potatoes & asparagus.  I went to dinner two weeks ago, and the same dishes appeared on the menu with a tweak & a twist.  Things remain, repeat & refine.  This next Call has three decades of history and is still going strong.  Take a look…

just PEACH-y

I sent my husband to the farmers market for turnips & beets.  He came home with honey & peaches.  I suppose it isn’t like going to the grocery where there are a proscribed list of possible foods you will encounter.  Instead, the farmers market offers an almost endless range of possibilities within your growth climate, lending itself to surprises, naturally.  This next Call is hoping for those same possibilities.  Send them a peach…

ROLLING into spring

It matters little how well you cook if you have missing ingredients.  I’m addicted to simple homemade spring rolls; fresh produce transforms into crispy little treasures. But, for the past couple of months, I’ve been unable to locate spring roll wrappers locally.  Because of their delicate nature, I hesitate to have them shipped because if they arrive cracked, all their stuffing pops out when baked.  Funny how one misses a simple $3 material when it has become a staple.  This next Call is all about the materials.  Take a look…

DINNER for one entire night

I’m a restaurant camper, and I apologize.  I want the pace of dinner to drag on all night and this isn’t always the same pace at which the restaurant can afford to turn over table.  Luckily, I am also a big tipper and luckily that sometimes buys lots of forgiveness from the serving staff.  This next Call is all about rhythm –fast or slowTake a look…

Tired of broccoli?  Me too.  Tired of kale?  I think everyone is.  What about purslane?  It is a succulent herb that has a touch of a bitter overtone.  It is technically a weed, but that just means it is easy to grow.  If you don’t have it naturally growing in your yard, you can buy the seeds on the cheap.  Try it in stir fry or salads.  It might add a new twist on the green portion of your meal.  This next Call wants to how your work is informed by all things green.  And someone will win a $500 grant as well…

The extent of this application to the composition is not a consideration in the judging of each piece.  How the color green engages the viewer to enter the artist’s narrative defines these evaluations—nothing more.  We look forward to receiving potential entries which capture a mood, relay a message, or inspire a viewer to interpret the artist’s work through their intuitive and perhaps methodical utilization of various green shades.” — art-competition.net

sugar or cake CONES?

I am addicted to cones of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate.  More accurately, I love the chocolate dipped diary, not the cone, but I have great respect for the edible nature of this delivery system.  Why don’t we have more edible packaging?  I don’t know either.  (BTW, no, I do NOT want to know about the probably-scary, chemical explanation for why dipping chocolate hardens.  Ignorance is bliss.)  This next Call is all about cones (and rods), but of the photoreceptor quality.  I’ve shown work at this venue, and I can’t wait to see this show…
