GOODNESS

My food preferences have transformed. Years ago, I appreciated more complex, layers of flavor, intrigued by how accurately, or not, I could dissect the ingredients of a sauce. Now a beautiful polenta makes my day –organic, hand-ground corn, homemade chicken stock & aged Parmesan. Simple food allows me to seek out & celebrate quality ingredients without the need for clutter. This next Call is simple; pay the fee & submit a link. Easy…

SUSTENANCE

When left alone, I tend to eat solitary foods. I stood in my kitchen and ate cottage cheese (from the container & yes it was end of the container). For breakfast yesterday, strawberries. For Monday’s snack, pickled beets. But my meals with family or friends are balanced and diverse. I try not to overthink it; surely it is just simplicity, not laziness, right? This next Call requires neither simplicity nor laziness, but you will be on your own. Be brave…

CORN

I have such reservations about corn but none about corn pudding. We had it for dinner tonight. I always think of corn as hailing from Iowa. (I am clearly like a marketing sponge.) But as I spent hours on the back roads of Ohio last year trying to avoid the nightmare that is I-75 South, I drove through miles and miles and miles of corn fields, intersected only by the occasional two-lane or gravel road. Dazzling. Beautiful. Waving both “hello” & “goodbye”. A landscape of corn. In Ohio. This next Call wants your landscape or seascape, or even your corn. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illustration Awards

CLEAN PLATE?

I am not a fan of buffet restaurants. Even when I get past the being herded like school children through a cafeteria line, I have trouble with all inclusive nature. How can one hold everything at a single temp & humidity and expect everything to thrive? Some foods are fragile. Celery & carrots require higher humidity. Dairy needs a lower temp than washed greens. In exchange for larger variety, we end up with mediocre versions of fresh food that would have better maintained their individuality in a kitchen. This next call is a hand-picked selection of the highest quality, not a buffet. Interested? Me too.

Check out this Call for Entries from 3×3 Magazine for the Int’l Illustration Show. Quality art publication that is both curated but open to illustration is a rare combination. These fees are among the lowest in the industry. Take a look…

I like to think I eat fairly clean. But by coincidence, I ran out of all of my standard sauces at one time which necessitated my seeing them ALL in my shopping cart at once. Who new? Soy, fish, oyster, Worcestershire, Thai chili, plum, four vinegars, 3 mustards, and lets not forget sriracha. In my defense, there ARE a few of scratch-made ones like barbecue & chocolate sauce. It seems my portfolio of foods aren’t all as pure as I’d like to believe. This next Call want your purely individual portfolio. Take a look…

I believe the concept of “edible” is abstract, not just subjective. Technically, anything that doesn’t kill you is edible. Well, really, you can still eat things that WILL kill you. So, I suppose if you are physically able to consume something, it is edible. So, maybe the notion of “eatability” is the abstract one. Why would someone pay a fortune to eat a fertilized duck egg? Because they are yummy? Doubtful. But, the precedent for eating eggs and eating ducks has been set, so I understand why it would occur to someone to try. But coconut? Green or furry, how did someone look at a coconut and say, “let’s eat one”? Abstract. This next Call is also purely abstract. Take a look…

Cooking is a constant exercise in recycling & upcycling in my house. A whole chicken will provide a dinner, chicken salad for lunch, broth for future soups, scraps for breakfast hash or lunch tacos plus a treat or three for the pup.

Never have an empty plate by expanding your menu by incorporating what you already do…

Children often outgrow the dislike of strongly-flavored foods, but I truly just substituted some for others.

SUNCHOKE

Winter vegetables are a problem. I am allergic to parsnips, tired of ever-present potatoes, refuse to pay $6 for a head of cauliflower, and am the only person left on the planet not addicted to kale. This leaves the cabbage family, spinach –and Jerusalem artichokes. I can’t remember the last time I ate time had this lovely tuber. One of the best things about root vegetables is they are rarely bought excessively under-ripe, and since most folks roast or mash them, they are rarely too ripe. That makes them easy to buy and uncommonly wasted. Where are my keys? Road trip. I am headed to the grocer, but you should head to this next Call for road trips. Take a look…

Fresh fruit is still my favorite dessert. I will take a bowl of berries over chocolate 9 times out of 10. The only thing I miss is the fat content, the luscious mouth feel. But, my husband has solved that problem with scratch-made whipped cream, heavy on the vanilla, light on the sugar. There’s no going back. This next call could be the whipped cream on top of your fresh new art season. Take a look…
