Cookbook authors have my number.  Make the food look fantastic on the cover, and I’ll buy it.  Yes, I judge books (some books) by their covers.  I recent bought quick & easy thai.  I’m just going to say that my judgement of the cover resulted in sticky rice with mangoes.  It was worth it.  This next Call encourages you to judge books by their covers as well.  Sometimes is just WORKS…

Gender rolls are “squishy” at my house.  My husband does most of the cooking.  I am the disciplinarian.  Even our mail comes bizarrely addressed since I didn’t take his last name.  It works for us.  It is what we know.  And, well, the food is good. 🙂  I use #imarriedforthefood a lot.  This next Call explores gender identity & the experience of being trans.  If this isn’t the Call for you, please pass it along…

TO HANDLE

Mozzarella-making is at a standstill at my house.  Okay, to be truthful, no one has ever mistaken this house for a cheese factory.  But lately, we’ve suffered the loss of one digital thermometer after another.  They don’t just stop; the temps slowly start veering from accurate.  I don’t normally advocate technology-forward kitchen gadgetry, but a digital thermometer results in far fewer failed batches of cheese–when it works.  I think it may be time to just shell out the bucks for one I KNOW won’t die easily.  I surrender.  You should surrender your digital art to this next call. Take a look…

Stuffed cabbage is a recipe that takes me back to my childhood.  My grandmother had such a talent for making perfect little rolls.  I wish I had paid better attention to how she did that because I struggle to make them presentable.  Imagine my delight when I found a recipe for Deconstructed Stuffed Cabbage.  So excited to try this one.  In the meantime, this next Call is all about the CONstructed not the DEconstructed.  Loving this theme…

I find myself conflicted over food technology.  While I appreciate the safety found in canning, freeze drying, pasteurization and more, I also have an undeniable desire to eat organic, heirloom varieties grown by my own hand.  I know the answer is balance, but I remain conflicted about my relationship with the technological aspect of the food I consume–with every bite some days.  This next Call focuses on the interaction, emotional & otherwise, between humans and their technological objects.  This will be an intriguing show.  Take a look…

Cilantro is a polarizing subject in my family.  It is all black and white–absolutely no gray area.  For more than 1/2 of my extended family, cilantro is nausea-inducing at the mere thought.  I, however, cannot imagine life without tomatillo & cilantro salsa.  (It contains nearly equal parts of each.)  I try not to judge them.  When I was younger, I always thought ginger tasted the same as I imagine lemon-scented furniture polish might taste.  Now I love it on nearly anything.  This next Call is an excellent reason to see all of the world in black and white.  You be the judge…

Food, like language & art, is often just a matter of perspective.  When I say Eastern food, does that conjure images of Chinese take out or Carolina BBQ?  Does Western food conjure images of Tex-Mex or a California roll?  It is all perspective  For the record, MY answers would be BBQ & sushi.  To be clear, this next “Downeast” Call refers to the Carolina, but it is open to everyone.  And, now I want BBQ.  Pick me up some pulled pork if you go to the opening.  Take a look…
