Learn more about the Into the Sea Call for Submissions!SEAFOOD, anyone?

If you lived underwater, what would you eat?  Indulge me here.  If you were an inhabitant of Atlantis, what would be on the menu?  Are you really going to want to eat your fish, turtle & crustacean cohorts?  Can you be a vegetarian with only kelp to forage?  Mysterious, no?  This next Call wants your poetry or art interpretation of Atlantis.  If you figure out the food, let me know.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Fairytales of Atlantis the Into the Sea poetry/art collaborative project.  This is a small startup for a book with no entry fee & a whole lot of fresh, enthusiastic energy.  I have a good feeling about this one…

*Editor’s Note:  It has been my practice to only publish opportunities with which I have some sort of experience, either personally or through a friend/peer.  But, I also like to try to vet more informal opportunities, and like the straightforward nature of the curators, but I can’t guarantee you anything.  You have to weigh this opportunity for pros/cons just like any other publication option.

“According to Plato and Greek mythology, the island of Atlantis was a utupia whose inhabitants became too greedy and power hungry (there are some variations on this). To punish them, Zeus and the other gods sank Atlantis.

Learn more about Project No 2 from Creatives in Action!HERBAL analogy

There are reasons, philosophical to medical, both against & in favor of the consumption of some things.  But more often that not, it just comes down to personal taste.  I hear people complain about the flavor of cilantro on a seemingly non-stop basis, but I can’t imagine a cilantro-less world.  Some people are never going to eat cilantro; I am not going to stop eating it.  This next Call is like cilantro, you’re going to love it or hate it, but it is still going to be your choice –no one’s forcing you.  So, take a look, or not…

This kind of opportunity will speak to some of you, and some of you will roast me endlessly out of anger. That’s fine; I get it. Only you can decide if this one is for you…

Last week I was in a restaurant with a gift shop, and I complained during the entire meal about Christmas decorations being out & available for sale in September.  Then on Monday, the tail end of Irma brought us 55° temperatures and rain.  Suddenly I couldn’t stop humming “Silver Bells” & craving hot chocolate.  I’ve got to get to a warmer climate before my family makes me sleep in the car, ha.  The magazine in this next Call will be distributed in Miami.  Maybe I should volunteer…

How many of you have a potted rosemary bush?  Mine is blooming a gorgeous array of little lavender flowers.  Did you know the flowers are edible?  If you love the taste of rosemary but find the texture & taste a little to strong for delicate foods like fish, try using the flowers instead.  They are softer in both mouth feel & potency and even make a beautiful garnish when flash fried.  This next call is looking for flora, and it doesn’t have to be edible.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: CQ No. 49

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

either / OR

Food substitutions have become second nature to me.  I live with & cook for lots of people with food sensitivities, health concerns & philosophical/ethical food issues.  I have to be able to accommodate those folks without advance warning and without blowing my food budget.  Black beans make great gluten-free brownies; bananas work as egg replacement in many desserts & breads.  Lemon zest can be a fantastic salt alternative, & nutritional yeast is a great stand-in for Parmesan.  It isn’t about faking an ingredient; it is about creatively coming up with an alternative texture or taste.  This next Call is all about the creative.  I like this opportunity.  Is this one for you?

A grocery budget surplus comes around rarely in my house, but alas, it magically appeared this week.  I was tempted to be practical and buy a back-stock of staple items.  But at the last minute, I came across tamarind pods and decided to splurge.  I’ve always wanted to make my own tamarind paste just to know if would be better than what I could buy.  It isn’t, but I can now say I’ve done it, ha.  The next Call could put a surplus in your art budget or at least help you meet your budget.  Take a look…

I’m on week 3 of no dishwasher.  It isn’t that bad.  I was dreading it before the move, but I knew downsizing was important enough to get over the inconvenience.  The only real difference I have noticed is the increased use of parchment paper, ha.  I don’t mind washing dishes, but cleaning baking pans is to be avoided when at all possible.  This next Call doesn’t require your work be on or in paper, but one artist will get a bonus prize of beautiful papers from the Awagami Factory.  Take a look…
