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…

the EGGY truth

Sometimes you just need a win.  In the kitchen, my win is usually an egg dish.  I think of them as the basics — hard boiled, frittata, omelette, quiche.  The skills used to make those four egg dishes include many of the fundamentals for cooking well.  Drawing is a fundamental that helps support every other media pursuit for me from painting to photography, even fiber arts.  This next Call wants to see YOUR drawing.  Investigate…

FEEDING the anxiety

I’m notoriously an emotional eater.  I find comfort in food, and I know it is a slippery slope. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve quit trying to fight the desire to eat for comfort and have just tried to make better “comfortable” choices.  Politics being what they are in the U.S. would understandably drive anyone to drink, but I have resorted to guava.  Guava is my tropical fruit therapy, and then, of course, there’s art.  This next Call wants your political art.  Take a look…

something SALAD

For most people, the concept of salad is abstract at best –egg, chef, Caesar, Cobb, chicken.  Something loosely defined by intent but not really definable.  You can’t order a salad & know what you’ll get because everyone brings their own meaning to “salad”.  Lately it always means spinach, mushrooms, strawberries & feta, but my mother jumps directly to the three bean variety.  This next Call is waiting for what you will bring to abstract.  Don’t miss your chance…

I remember chasing the ice cream truck and cycling away, post chase, peeling the paper away from my treasure with both hands and trying not to crash into a parked car or a jay-walking pedestrian.  In my current neighborhood, the roads are only two lanes, the tourist traffic is crazy, and there aren’t any kids on bicycles –or ice cream trucks.  I wonder if I can still ride.  Hmmm.  This next call is all about the bicycle or cycling.  I love the memories this theme conjures…

all JUICED up

I have to learn to stop reading the comments sections on social media posts.  Even when I think I found a safe, foodie-friendly post, I end up amazed by the viciousness of the battles over juice as the fiber-less evil cousin of fruit or the severing of parental rights over cereal as breakfast food.  Do our food choices speak to the human condition, or is it how we judge others that speaks to our place in the world?  I am always happy to hear your thoughts.  This next Call would also like to know what you have to say about the human condition.  Investigate…

These myriad strongholds of energies, which hopefully inspire your works, should speak to us as they represent your brightest or darkest experiments and enlightening realizations in your life and should be represented as such here in your fine artwork for us to absorb and potentially integrate into our own lives.  So, your submitted creations should express the subject as felt through the artist’s empathy or subjective eye of experience.  The message is meant for us, the viewer.”

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…
