White chocolate is not chocolate.  Every year I have to remind a few folks.  Those cocoa bean solids are the defining issue.  I’ll eat just a kiss, or a smooch if you will, of white chocolate each year.  But when I say, “I’m craving chocolate”, the answer is never white-chocolate-macadamia-nut anything.  Just to be clear.  Consider this my yearly white chocolate PSA.  And to be honest, I’d rather have my smooches & kisses a very different way –like this Call.  Take a look…

“Brancusi did it. Rodin did it. Even Tamara de Lempicka did it.

“The kiss has left its mark on many works of art, from the stone carvings of Constantin Brancusi to its marble predecessor sculpted by Rodin. With her kiss, Tamara de Lempicka delivered a woman swept off her feet by a high society gentleman, clad in an oily top hat, against the cubist backdrop of a city port. Each kiss carries its own sentiment.

“When lips meet, they promise temporary escape or a lifetime of devotion. When tongues touch, they deliver notes to our lovers, detailing desire or a lack thereof.” –from onthegroundfloor.co

More and more people are farming.  There may be fewer commercial farms, but I find that more and more people are taking the time to grow something.  Not everything; just something.  This image (left) is from the Facebook feed of a friend of mine in the suburbs of Charleston, WV who is sprouting garlic for container gardening on his back patio.  He planted tomato seedlings in between the sprouted cloves.  It isn’t a huge endeavor, but he’ll have the best salsa of anyone in his neighborhood this summer.  LOVE.  This next Call celebrates roots in exactly the same manner.  Cultivate this one…

“Curious about histories, origins, and the beginning of things, we ask emerging artists to probe their genesis – the dawning of a tribe, the annals of ancestry, the birth of a movement.  Those catalytic moments in time that give rise to new ethos. We also invite artists working with organic and/or sustainable materials to apply. Our aim is to feature projects born out of a response to horticulture, urban farming, and agriculture; or narratives that invoke our natural world. ” –from onthegroundfloor.co

CALL for ENTRIES: Feminist Sex

Learn more from On the Ground Floor!WIENERS,
anyone?

How did operating a grill become a feminist issue?  I can’t tell you how many female friends I have that defer grilling activities to the men in their lives under the guise of not knowing “how to do it”.  Really?  Amongst this group of women who are financiers, scientists, diplomats & artists, no one can operate a grill?  Please.  Maybe they are just faking it, like me, to avoid the additional work occasionally.  *Shhh*  This next Call has NOTHING to do with the grilling of meat and EVERYTHING to do with feminism.  Take a look…
