CALL for ENTRIES: De La Naturaleza

Posted on August 29, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

EAT MY
bouquet

Did you know orchids are edible? Many of you have probably seen the sugared variety high atop a wedding cake or as a garnish, but they’re great in salads too. The flavor is a bit like cucumber with the texture of a buttery lettuce and a touch of the bitter bite of endive. Don’t eat orchids given to you as gifts. If they weren’t grown by you, please be sure you only eat certified organic orchids. The use of pesticides is prevalent in commercially farmed ornamental plants; so, be careful. This next Call can center on orchids. It is all up to you…

GREEN
goodness

My kitchen smells of heavenly green cardamom. It IS expensive, and I AM cheap. But, I never regret the purchase. I offset the expense by buying it ground instead of in the pod. It loses flavor quickly when you store it ground, but cardamom is used in a huge number of cultures for dishes both sweet & savory. It is a staple of Indian & Thai foods, but it is also found in Nordic breads & sweet treats. You will love what cardamom will do for rice pudding or hot tea. This next Call is international, just like my kitchen. Take a look…

ODILON was born in Paris and felt heavily influenced by classical music, ballet dancing and the Masters of painting. At the age of 16, Odilon suffered from anorexia. At 17 she began using a camera to make self portraits. It was simply a way to give her a glimpse inside herself to make sense of the pain with which she struggled to understand.

"Taking action is far better than thinking, for me. Photography saved my life."

in a PICKLE

I’ve been studying food preservation, from pickling & water-bath canning to vacuum-sealing & salt-packing. I’ve run across a huge amount of admirable testing, experimentation and success amongst food-enthusiasts, homemakers, homesteaders, preppers & gardners alike. I am open to almost anything culinary at least once, but some folks are out there just purposely trying to make food, well, wrong. Koolickles. I am almost beyond words this time. Koolickles are created by soaking dill pickles in a mixture of Kool-Aid® & pickle brine. Being open doesn’t always work in my favor, but this next Call definitely does. They are open to almost anything, and it doesn’t have to be Koolickles, I promise…

TAMALE

I love tamales. My life has been dotted with expert tamale makers–the Mexican version. Then I tried Guatemalan tamales. Oh my. The differences are subtle, but important. In Guatemalan tamales, the corn used to make the masa (dough) is not sweet, and they are usually wrapped in leaves, not corn husks. Tamales can come in red & black varieties, both sweet & savory, both large & small. If are the winner of this next Call, they pick up the tab for your ticket & hotel to the opening. Be sure to pick up a tamale while you are in Guatemala! Take a look…

My kiddo just turned 16. For his birthday, he didn’t ask for pizza or burgers; he wanted Indian food. So proud.
