CHICK-A-PEA

New foods/materials are fascinating. Well, foods that are new to me would be more accurate. My newest is flax seed meal. I use it to make everything from scones to crackers and biscuits. Then there is the chickpea. It isn’t new but some of its uses are. Chickpeas aren’t just for hummus. I made cookies out of them. The best cookies ever–no exaggeration. This next Call will let you use old materials, but the fair is named for the new ones. This is a HUGE opportunity for someone…

MILK
or not

It’s that time again. What would I be if I had to portray myself as food? This week I choose kefir. I am fascinated. My new gluten-free regimen had increased my dairy intake, and my son has dairy sensitivities. Enter milk kefir. Kefir is simply milk that is fermented at room temperature with kefir grains for about 24 hours. It has many wonderful health benefits, a great flavor and is also usually tolerated well by the lactose intolerant. I’ve been buying it commercially for $4 a quart, but now I’m going to make it myself. Think of it as a self-portrait…

My kid used to be a finicky eater too. I made him try everything–over and over and over. Now he eats spinach and beets and horseradish; so, just hang in there.

I’m proud too. This next Call wants to see your view of The Human Side. Entry fees don’t get much cheaper…

CORN
and then some

I’ve always been a label reader, but I’m starting to wonder if I should just severely limit the number of foods I eat that even HAVE a label. While searching for a gluten-free corn tortilla, I read this ingredient list on one of my favorites: Ground corn treated with lime, water, cellulose gum, propionic acid (to preserve freshness), benzoic acid (to preserve freshness), phosphoric acid (preservative), dextrose, guar gum, amylase. No thanks. I settled on one with this label: corn, lime, salt. That’s a little more like it. Know what you eat. This next Call will provide lots of great ideas, I suspect. Take a look…

"I have been drawing ever since I was old enough to hold a crayon. When I started school, they discovered I have dyslexia. Dyslexia is damage to the information processing part of my left brain. Because of this, my right brain compensates. I have learned to read by the look of a word & not the letters that make up that word."

LASAGNA
anyone?

So, I’ve been looking for a wheat-less lasagna recipe without having to resort to gluten-free pasta. It hasn’t been easy. I’ve toyed with the idea of eggplant or zucchini ribbons, but that seems too expected. Then I ran across Varza a la Cluj, (Romanian version of lasagna) prepared from several layers of finely shredded cabbage (fresh or sour) and a minced meat mixed with rice and bacon and baked in the oven. I’ll let you know how it turns out. In the meantime, this next Call offers three shows–one of which might allow you to try Varza a la Cluj IN Romania. Check it out…

CHOCOLATE CHIP
on my shoulder

Summer has brought a new challenge to my cooking regime–going wheat-free. No, it isn’t a whim, it is doctor’s orders. I have a couple of health issues that my doctor believes is being aggravated by the inflammation that naturally accompanies the consumption of wheat. But, classic Summer fare like chocolate chip cookies can’t be stricken from the menu, or I might get stricken from my house, ha. So, I’ll just keep trying the get it right. This next Call is for a classic media, and you have several chances to get it right this year. Investigate…

JUROR: Kim Casebeer was born & raised in Kansas. As part of a fourth generation farm family, she has been connected to the land for a long time. Kim still lives in Kansas and draws her inspiration from the simplicity of the Flint Hills, an area of wide open ranch land. “It’s a simple landscape,” she says. “It’s not grandiose. You have to spend some time and let it speak to you.” These days Kim also feels at home painting in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming and Texas. “I think the simplicity of the Kansas landscape has helped me find the essence of other places. I’m able to focus on what’s important in a composition. It’s as much about what’s not in the painting as what is.”

Kim received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Kansas State University in 1992. She worked as a graphic designer and art director in order to pay the bills, while spending evenings and weekends painting until 2002, when she was able to make the leap to full-time artist. Kim has continued to study with artists such as Albert Handell, W. Scott Jennings, Michael Albrechtsen, Scott Christensen and Matt Smith.

Kim has work in many private, corporate and museum collections throughout the United States. She is represented by American Legacy Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri; Grapevine Gallery in Oklahoma City; Hueys Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico; K. Newby Gallery in Tubac, Arizona; Legacy Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona and Jackson, Wyoming; and Strecker-Nelson Gallery in Manhattan, Kansas.

AWARDS: $3,000 for first place, $1,500 for second place and $500 for third place along with 10 honorable mentions
