CALL for ENTRIES: Big Money

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

 

Learn more about the Big Money Exhibit from the JF Gallery!  FRUITY dollars

What food can you buy for one U.S. dollar?  The answer is “it depends on where you are”.  Where I live, one dollar will buy you nearly 2lbs of bananas, canned beans (even organic), dried beans, yogurt & one or pieces of a lot of tree fruits like apples, oranges or pears.  Make your own healthy dollar menu.  This next Call has another suggestion for how to use a one dollar bill.  Challenge accepted.

Check out this Call for Entries from the JF Gallery (West Palm Beach, FL) for the Big Money exhibit, featuring work on actual dollar bills.  JF Gallery would like to make this a yearly show, so send them your best.  Take a look…

presto PESTO

My menu has been pesto-riffic this month.   Two visits to West Virignia resulted in my returning home with the bounty of someone else’s garden, and her basil crop is booming.  Add a few walnuts (my preference over pine nuts), some parm & EVOO, and I have the best pesto on the block, if I do say so myself.  This next Call wants to know about your flowers, plants & gardens.  This is a perennial favorite, ha…

hold the SHRIMP

The people with whom I eat most often have lots of food allergies –milk, shellfish, wheat.  So how does a food co-exist with food allergies?  The secret is parallel thinking.  For example, I need to make chili paste for Thai dishes, but my husband is deathly allergic to shellfish.  Who might love Thai food, but naturally wouldn’t eat shrimp?  Vegetarians.  Vegetarian chili paste is made with shiitake mushrooms as the substitute for shrimp. Problem solved.  This next Call is about coexistence, diversity & inclusion on a much larger scale.  Take a look…

SWEET squared

When is the last time you saw a sugar cube in a restaurant?  Me neither.  Maybe I’m going to the wrong restaurants, ha.  Did you know that before the Victorian-era sense of order gave us manageable single-serving size cubes of sugar, there was a person whose job it was to nip sugar into less large chunks than the cone-shaped loaf you brought home from your grocer.  This next Call is all about the cube or the square or smaller.  Take a look…

WAXING the rounds

To wax or not to wax the cheese.  I have a friend with cows that makes cheese regularly.  Her production is up to more than what they can eat, and her refrigerator can’t hold any more. She’s trying to not increase her electric suck by not buying an additional refrigerator.  So, she’s learning to wax her cheese for storage in her cold cellar.  This next show is for those that already know how to wax (not cheese), or learning.  Take a look at this opportunity…

mellow MELON

I am melon obsessed lately.  Watermelon & canteloupe are around $.50/lb. or less, and I can’t seem to get enough.  I’m having them for on the side of oatmeal at breakfast, with cottage cheese & salads at lunch, and they’ve even become dessert stand-ins.  I’m excited about high value nutrition and low-cost; it doesn’t always work out quite that way.  This next Call is a selling show with a price cap, making it an affordable way for fans to become collectors.  Take a look…

ROLLING into spring

It matters little how well you cook if you have missing ingredients.  I’m addicted to simple homemade spring rolls; fresh produce transforms into crispy little treasures. But, for the past couple of months, I’ve been unable to locate spring roll wrappers locally.  Because of their delicate nature, I hesitate to have them shipped because if they arrive cracked, all their stuffing pops out when baked.  Funny how one misses a simple $3 material when it has become a staple.  This next Call is all about the materials.  Take a look…

COOKING by the book

Why do we never hear about cooking therapy?  Art therapy is an accepted practice, but I’m not sure it is about art.  It is about process.  I think that any practice about which you’re passionate that requires repetition holds the opportunity to offer a meditative or therapeutic value.  So break out your cookbooks and try a recipe outside your skill level.  The next Call offers you time to hone your art practice.  Take a look…
