I don’t stock saffron in my pantry.  As much as I love the opulence & indulgence of a saffron-scented paella, the truth is that I get more mileage from luscious fats like unfiltered olive oil or nutty sesame oil.  I can only punctuate my menus with such an elaborate spice on occasion, but I use oils in every dish.  Opulence is user-defined & experiential, and this next Call wants your vision of the opulent.  Take a look…

ROOTS

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already.  My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks.  With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November.  Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two.  My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change.  This Call is a great use for the extra $.

My grocery bill is absurd.  I’m not having dinners of foie gras & truffles.  In fact, most of our meals are vegetable laden.  I try to stop by the farmers market at my local apple orchard.  This week, it was $25 for apples, onions, 4 sweet potatoes, 3 bell peppers & 2 eggplant.  As you might imagine, I then proceeded to spend a fortune at the grocery store to supplement my farmers market finds.  I have a family of only three people + my four-legged child.  I buy in-season, cost-conscious items.  I consider myself a master food shopper, and I can barely hang on to a healthy menu.  How are people without access to locally-grown produce options supposed to avoid eating processed food?  The economics of hunger are devastating.  This next Call is an excellent use of YOUR $25.  Take a look…

PLEASE

I’ve had a few jobs and a few careers.  One that I loved more than most was as a Downtown Development Director.  I believed in the tiny town; I believe in urban renewal in rural locations (pop. 3500).  Alas, my time there was shortened to a mere 3 years.  I’ve never admitted this before, but part of my impatience with the development process was my inability to attract new, exciting food opportunities.  Really.  This next Call is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of making ART the answer.  Please investigate this FANTASTIC opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Aferro (Newark, NJ) and RBH Group for Activate: Market Street.  This is a very inexpensive ($5 US) opportunity to truly get public art exposure.  So cool…

Let’s talk about frozen corn.  I have heard all the arguments about frozen vegetable being the next best thing to fresh.  But what I want to know, is WHY would any restaurant serve frozen corn on the cob during the time when in-season fresh corn is cheaper than frozen?  Are we really too lazy to shuck corn, folks?  Really?  Please don’t be too lazy to enter this show from a state that knows a lot about corn.  Take a look…

I collect food-specific dishes.  Weird, I know.  I have ceramic turtles for wasabi, three-legged lava rock bowls for salsa, futuristic pods for olives, individual berry bowls, and there will be more.  (Maybe these egg cups).  Always the proper tool for the job, you could say.  This next Call is really ALL about the collectors.  See if this one is right for you…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery in Ventura, California for the 2013 Collectors’ Choice.  I am intrigued, this is a great opportunity for a few of you, but the challenge is in figuring out if YOUR work is something this anonymous group of collectors want.  Investigate for your self…

Editor’s Note:  My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery.  Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS:  Selected artists will participate in 2013 Collector’s Choice January 2-February 9, at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 30% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

anyone?

I am always amazed by how a simple ingredient can be transformed into a magnificent dish.  Root vegetables are the perfect example.  Who would of thought that something that spent most of the time it has existed under the ground could be transformed into something beautiful, warm and nutty?  I think of a luscious crock of roasted carrot soup with a hint of ginger and nutmeg.  This Call wants you to contemplate transformation.  Give it a try…

I love Cuban food.  The first time I ate Cuban food was in a strip mall in Goose Creek, SC just outside Charleston …no kidding.  With a strong military influence in the area before the shut down of the military base and the naval yard, international influence on food was pretty common.  The best Cuban food I ever tasted was in Miami and is responsible for my love affair with plaintains.  This next Call offers you an opportunity to sample some of the best food in the world during your time at this opening…
