I am a culinary cheapskate, of sorts.  I try to limit the cost of a home-cooked meal’s protein to $2 to $4–total, not per pound.  It comes from years of having no choice; however, I have these budgetary restriction to partially thank for my culinary creativity.  You try having chicken, turkey, eggs or pork 4 days in a row; it will make you creative too.  Now I will still buy a lux bottle of vinegar for $15, but I have priorities, ha. This next call is for the LUX Center, but it isn’t necessarily the theme.  Take a look…

Rustic food is all the rage. Country tarts offer simple ingredients in a simple package.  But I am still a sucker for elaborately top-crusted pies.  A beautiful lattice can hide the simplest of ingredients.  One of the best confections I ever ate looked like a simple pecan pie but turned out to be filled with a fudge and coconut concoction that I can still conjure in my head by simply closing my eyes.  This next call wants your illusion, be it simple or complex.  Take this chance…

I AM an emotional eater, and “grumpy” is not an unusual reason for a snack at my house.  Just like when I am sick, it is comfort (read junk) food that elevates my mood.  Macaroni and cheese, potato chips and dip, tortilla chips and salsa, peanut butter and donuts (this one may just be me), baked brie ‘n’ raspberries…all reasons for a happy face and, in my case, a larger arse.  But sometimes, you have to do something just because it makes you happy.  This next Call makes me happy, and I hope that is a good enough reason for you to enter.  Take a look…

My favorite Mexican food is fish.
