GOODNESS

My ultimate comfort food is cheese or nearly any kind. Weird, eh? But, I’m sure some of you claim oatmeal or hamburgers, pizza or kale chips as YOUR comfort food. Sometimes the comfort of another is just enough to get you to try and love a new food. This next Call belongs to a gallery that I find to be a comfort. Try it for yourself; you just may love it…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for the Nat’l Juried Exhibition of 2015. This is a great show run by a great arts organization. I’ve shown here personally several times and even serve as a juror on occasion. Take a look…

FOOD

I never thought about what astronauts ate when I was little, but I was disturbed that all they had to drink was Tang–or so I thought, ha. Gone are the days of strictly canned or freeze-dried foods in space. Now, those travelers have fresh fruits, vegetables and even waffles and scones. But, I think being faced with irradiated meat might make me a vegetarian in short order. This next Call contemplates the entirety of the cosmos, not just the menu. Investigate!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Cosmos

This exhibit invites artists to envision the mysteries of the universe, both scientific and fantastical, theoretical and fictional, real and imagined. How do artists render the work of scientists, authors, explorers, astronomers, cartoonists, Trekkies, LARPers, astrologers, and philosophers? This exhibit embraces not only what science has revealed about space, but what humans have imagined about the cosmos. From the results of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit celebrates how space has stimulated human understanding and creativity. From the big bang theory to worm holes and warp speed, artists are invited to submit works that bring to life what we know of space and what we imagine. The goal is to assemble a vibrant and diverse selection of works that speak to our fascination with the cosmos. –from prospectus

FOOD

sweet or
SOUR?

There’s a battle brewing in my house. We live within 15 miles of two apple orchards. We only have room for a 5lb. bag of apples each week. This time of year, Crispins (green/golden apples) get my vote, while my husband seems single-mindedly obsessed with Braeburns (red apples). I don’t care what color they are, but red apples tend to be sweeter. We’ve finally taken to trading off weeks. On my weeks, I get to eat my slightly sour raw green apples; on his weeks, we make apple tarts, pies & crisps out of the red variety. I’m trying to embrace our differences–like the them of this next Call. Take a look…

CHICKEN
of beef

I am queen of menu planning. Every once in a while I decide to off planning for just winging it. Well, that never lasts. Now that we are planning for a farm of our own, I am considering the idea of buying protein for the entire year from a local rancher–like a whole cow. The challenge would be to space out the protein so we are not forced to eat eggs only for the last 3 months of the year. I suspect it will end in a lessened consumption of meat, but we’ll see. This next Call is not unlike menu planning for a year at the time. Please DO NOT MISS this chance…

I’ve been toying with the idea of making cheese. I have had a 30+ year love affair with cheese–cow to sheep to goat.
