STEW?

As Spring heads toward Summer, my house is in full-on busy mode.  With a teenager, 3+ business endeavors and a small-scale entertainment career, sometimes I just crave the opportunity to cook a full meal.  But in the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to make crock-pot meals feel fresh & Spring-like instead of cozy, warm winter stock.  Wish me luck because all I’ve come up with is chicken soup.  The next best thing is to skip Summer meal planning for Winter art planning.  Take a look at this Call…

Check out this Call for Applications from 360 XOCHI QUETZAL Artist & Writers Residency Program (Mexico) for their Winter Residency Program. Free studio, housing & a food stipend.  A month in Mexico to make art!  Really

I’m craving purple potatoes.  Potatoes have become scarce in my house lately.  Paranoid about my family’s long history of diabetes, we are trying to limit our starch intake to see if my current symptoms can be controlled through diet.  Because we already cut out gluten, I don’t really miss bread.  We’ve never consumed a lot of rice & prefer spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles to pasta.  But oh how I miss the potatoes– the beautiful, majestic purple ones particularly.  I’m sneaking them in as the crust for quiche & pot pies, but the chips & fries & mash are all gone.  I have to reserve all things majestic for this next call.  Love this one…

PICK ME

Not every weed is to be plucked and discarded.  Hopefully no one is spraying chemicals on their garden--either to fertilize OR remove pests; however, I DO want to encourage you to remember that not every weed needs to be removed either.  Chickweed is a perfect example.  If you’re lucky enough to have it sprout in your garden, don’t weed it…eat it.  And you don’t have plant a garden in an open field to find this gem; it even grows in the cracks of sidewalks.  No really.  This next Call DOES, however, make use of an open field.  Investigate…

SEASON

It is ramp season in the Smoky Mountains.  I am thrilled to have a locally-grown, fresh vegetable of any sort after the winter of snow & ice we just endured–even if it gives us all dragon breath.  If you aren’t familiar, ramps are spring onions with a strong garlic smell and onion flavor.  They are called “spring leeks” elsewhere.  We’re using them in salads, soups, casseroles and atop nearly every dish consumed in my house right now.  You name it, we’re finding a way to eat them.  Another sign of Spring is this next Call.  Maybe this one is for you…

“Every time I look out the window or walk outside I’m in the mountains, making it much easier for me to observe the constant moods and nuances of nature. My goal is to portray what I’m experiencing in nature, I want the viewer of my work to say ‘I’d like to be there’.”--Tim Deibler

rodent on the side

In a former life, I worked as a sous chef on a charter sailboat in the Carribean for a peg-legged captain with a Sharpie parrot tattoo on his head.  It is all strangely true. That WAS my official job title…the rest too.  What I really did was spoon homemade chicken salad into avocado halves.  I served it to wealthy day trippers along with a cross-hatched mango half turned inside out, known as a hedgehog.  Sous chef? Semantics I say.  This next Call wants your version of inside out, but I’m thinking they aren’t looking for mango hedgehogs.  That’s just a theory, but you should investigate for yourself…
