CALL for ENTRIES: Material Matters

basic BOWLS

My husband does design work for a commercial potter. As a result, I find myself lingering over the kitchenware when I visit his office. I am currently obsessed with the little 4-cup mixing bowls with a pour spout. I own one in stainless steel, and it is my “go to” for small jobs like dressings, dips & marinades. Having multiple, beautifully hand-thrown versions with a pour spout is nearly more temptation than I can take. My inability to choose a glaze is the only thing saving me at the moment. This next call celebrates both metal & glass, plus glass & wood. Take a look…

LOVE ME love me not

Beet wars 2017 just ended. At least once per year, I post something random about eating beets on social media. Every time, it ends in my friends arguing the merits, or not, of this ever-controversial veg. I am amazed by how passionately people love or hate beets. The confusing ones are the folks that love merlot & hate beets. I’ll never understand the disparity. They both have that same from the earth pungency, so shouldn’t it be a black & white issue? This next Call is definitely all about the black & white of it all. Take a look…

I couldn’t sell anyone on rice as a side dish at my house this week. But to avoid another trip to the grocery, I had to sneak it in chicken casseroles, veggie spring rolls and sausage gumbo. Upcycled rice with recycled chicken was a winner. Need inspiration for your own recycling? This next Call is the perfect green opportunity. Make some time for this one…

squish SQUASH

Need a squash recipe? We should talk.

In the process of planning a new kitchen, I am now addicted to ceramic tile. I find a few feet I love, buy what I can afford, then fall in love with a new tile.

Yellow tomatoes abound at my grocer. For some reason, my options are limited to uber-sweet cherry tomatoes, rock-hard-Brazilian-hot-house slicing reds or romas, trendy-but-mealy brown and entirely-too-sweet yellow tomatoes. I like my tomatoes super acidic and red or tart, green and fried. I know it takes all kinds, but I am looking for just one specific color of the rainbow.

hello
AGAIN

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. My least favorite of all these is the original chicken dinner. The upcycled & recycled varieties are always superior, just like the media for this next exhibit.
