CALL for ENTRIES: Light & Shadow

Gardening is a fine balance of light & shadow.  Bok choi will grow in as little as two hours of sun per day, but many varieties of beans love full sun.  Tender, baby lettuces can be grown in the shadow of climbing plants like those sun-loving beans.  It is all an art of balance.  This next Call wants YOUR best light & shadow.  Take a look…

MEAT

I am not currently a vegetarian, but I think I could be without that much difficulty.  It is a personal choice that I have examined over the years.  As Jon & I head toward a more agrarian lifestyle, I recognize that I am unwilling to take the life of an animal living on my farm (chickens, rabbits & goats).  Instead, I leave that job to my husband who has less of a debate with it than I do.  Does that mean I should not be willing to eat them–since I couldn’t kill them?  This is my current philosophical internal dialogue.  These animals offer my family the best way to get protein, but the chickens & goats can produce protein in the form of eggs & milk without it resulting in their demise.  Should we choose NOT to kill them?  I know both sides of the argument.  Do I choose not to eat it if I cannot kill it?  The war of human versus nature rages in my mind as it does in this next Call from F-Stop.  Take a look & offer your best…

I seek out Greek food.  I don’t have access to Greek food at home, except my husband’s exceptional version of Moussaka, so I’m always on the hunt.  I have noticed a rather odd phenomenon–Greek food crossed with diner culture.  I keep seeing menu after menu with both platters of fries AND bowls of Avgolemono.  Sometimes it is great to expect to get one thing but find yourself with options when you take a closer look.  I suppose this next Call is exactly like that.  Take a look…

BLUE

There aren’t really any naturally-occurring blue foods–of which I am aware.  But maybe that is why I’m not a fan of color blue, with the exceptions of navy (almost purple) & turquoise (high green only).  Blue foods scream, “Plastic” every time I see them–from icing on cakes to the blue tongues of toddlers eating shaved ice.  I know; my food quirks never end.  This next Call is just the perfect shade away from blue.  Take a look…
