CALL for ENTRIES: Grief

Learn more about the Grief exhibit from NY Photo Curator!

family FOOD

What makes comfort food a comforting food? I have a friend whose local tradition is bring food to a grieving family.  Upon the death of her cousin, she noted that a half-dozen dishes of macaroni and cheese, two layered dips and three lasagnas, none of them comforting to all.  For me it is fried green tomatoes, and occasionally goat cheese.  After a little research it seems that it isn’t the cheese or butter or starch that makes comfort food, it is familial connection, the security of childhood (if you had any).  I am fairly certain my father never tasted goat cheese in his life, but my grandmother made the best fried green tomatoes ever.  So, maybe.  I don’t know.  What do you think?  This next Call is all about Grief (not necessarily the accompanying food).  Investigate…

This call is for images made anywhere along the path of the grieving process.” –Frances Jakubek

CALL for ENTRIES: Alternative Techniques

 

Learn more about the Alternative Techniques Call from LA Photo Curator! a little LEMON or LIME

During the winter, I’m grateful for the extra heat of the oven after lunch or dinner.  I usually leave the oven door open until it reaches room temp.  However, come Summer, or even Spring for that matter, I will start looking for alternative ways to cook without having to combat the heat of the oven for the rest of the day.  Ceviche may be the simplest of them all.  Ceviche is a method of cooking fish or seafood in citrus juice alone –without heat.  It doesn’t produce the flaky fish you get from the oven, but if you’re a fan of sushi, you’ll love ceviche.  This next Call is all about Aternative Techniques.  I can’t wait to see this exhibit…

I am the queen of comfort food.  I know that the secret to award-winning mac ‘n’ cheese is Dijon mustard. I know that a light coat of olive oil under the sauce prevent pizza crust from getting soggy while baking.  I know a dust of cayenne makes the chocolate sauce on your sundae sing.  But this week, my only comfort is salad.  Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and then vacation.  I have eaten everything that won’t run from me –none of it on the light side.  Different food for different feels (and fills).  This next Call wants your take on food and sustenance.  Take a look…

Sugar is sugar, right?  I don’t think so.  Fried sugar takes me to morning doughnuts in the office.  Melting powdered sugar transports me to Saturday afternoon elephant ears at the flea market.  And spun sugar, spun sugar sends me straight to the state fair standing in line on hard-packed earth waiting for my turn on the Alpine racer.  Each smell is distinct, truly, and each conjures a certain place I hold dear to my heart.  Where is your certain place?  This next Call wants to know.  Explore the possibilities…

My favorite culinary masterpieces are created from the random remains of my refrigerator or pantry.  This is how lunch comes to be almost every day.  Left over veggies from salad or stir fry end up as spring rolls; emergency canned goods create the best vegetable soup.  Because I live in a more rural location, bad weather & poor grocery planning can result in a hungry household.  But a little creativity amongst the ruinous remains, turns out the most delightful surprises.  This next Call wants to see what you creat from what remains.  Take a look…
