CALL for ENTRIES: P/N 32

Posted on December 14, 2016December 12, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

open & say YUM

I believe in food as medicine. Like a lot of you, I have a couple of chronic health conditions that require medication, including cough-variant asthma. I have chosen to take the least amount of medication possible to suppress side effects –specifically to my voice. Green tea with honey, cayenne & turmeric is loaded with anti-inflammatories that really help prepare my voice for the level of use I have to sustain. The positive? I take fewer prescription drugs. The negative? My tongue is always orange, ha. This next Call wants your positive and/or negative take for the 32nd year in a row. Take a look…

for the love of DESSERT

There IS scientific data to back up the validity of some effects of so-called aphrodisiacs, but some are a real stretch. We all know about the standards, oysters & coffee & chili peppers, but my favorites remain figs & honey. Both preserve well in various forms so that I can buy them in peak season, and they just invite Greek dessert recipes which are winners in my house every time. This next Call is also for Valentine’s Day. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art in Public Places

Posted on December 11, 2016December 10, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

for the love of SUSHI

Raw fish and seaweed tend to be very polarizing ingredients. Rarely do I meet someone who has a take-it-or-leave-it attitude about sushi. It tends to be love or hate every time. I understand why raw fish lacks appeal for so many. But, I find converting friends into sushi-lovers is often as simple as the surprise lunch. Sushi kitchens are usually spotless; the food is usually delicious & flavorful. Finding lovers of public art is far easier, and this next Call proves it every year. Take a look…

I crave comfort food. I have always been an emotional eater, and in my defense, this year HAS sucked. Bizarre business twists, unexpected career delays, personal financial crisis followed by health issues, a relentless year of election propaganda and now a wildfire, a house robbery & now more dreams delayed. I want baked goods. Is there a healthier way to tackle trauma? Of course. Bite me. I need the comfort of things familiar like baked goods — and the venue for this next Call. It is a soft spot for me, and I want it to be for you. Love…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Curatorial 2019

NUTTY bravery

Sometimes you just have to jump in and try. Wary of a new food? Hold your nose and stick out your tongue–it just takes a few seconds of bravery. This is how I learned that I hate pistachios and love goat cheese. By trying them. This Call will be the same idea for many of you. Fifteen dollars, five images and a clear vision of your project in written form. That’s all it takes. Maybe it is time to take the leap from local shows to national shows, from national to international shows, from juried to self-curated. You can do it. I know you can. If you need help, message me.

color me STUFFED

The Thanksgiving sea of brown food has passed. Luckily, my family forgoes the turkey, dressing, gravy & rolls thereby missing out on a good portion of the brownness of it all. I crave color even in my food. A star of this year’s menu was the beet & clementine salad. Beets are plentiful year around due to how well they do in cold storage. If you are one of those folks that swear they dislike beets, make a point to try them fresh roasted. (Message me for a recipe.) In the meantime, here’s a call that also craves color. Take a look…

fast FARE

The freezer saves dinner about two days a week in my house. We purposefully cook more portions than we can eat and save the leftovers. It started out as a way to send lunch with my kiddo for school, but it has become a dinner rescue regularly. When you get busy and have forgotten to plan for dinner and live nearly a half hour from the closest grocery or restaurant, you’re grateful for frozen leftovers. This next Call is not a leftover or frozen, but I did neglect to plan the publication more than a few days out from the deadline. Sorry about that…
