make mine a
DOUBLE

Do you know what is better than fresh, local fruits & vegetables? Twice as many fresh local fruits & vegetables. Have you heard about a program that is slowly spreading throughout farmers’ markets & co-ops in the U.S. called Double Bucks? It seems just about right that it would be folks dedicated to fresh food that would figure out how to get it into the hands of people who need it–affordably. Double the veggies might be the only thing better than the doubled cash prizes in this next Call. Make us proud…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Still Life II. The cash prizes are DOUBLED for this one! Take a look…

SMART
food

I am food brave–usually. I can muster the courage to try bizarre foods, but I’ve gotten pretty squeamish lately. I am going to just admit this: I am more than mildly addicted to the new TV show iZombie. I got rid of cable TV in my home in favor of Hulu about 6 months ago, and I thought that would be the end of any regular show watching. Wrong. I found iZombie BECAUSE OF Hulu. But, as you might imagine, zombies eat brains. Now I realize that they aren’t real human brains, and I realize people indulge in all kinds of brain delicacies” from jello to calves and goat and more. But, no. I just can’t. So apparently I am not open to “anything”, but this next Call IS open to any theme. Take a look…

CUKES
for cubs?

In our continuing efforts to downsize in preparation for “tiny living”, I downsized myself out of garden space. We moved back to our previous 2-acre, mountain-top abode, but anything other than container gardening is impossible with out a major terracing project to provide flat space on the side of the mountain. So, we’re going to attempt to grow a few squash & cucumbers on the deck using the railings as support. But, considering the fact that my dog has tree’d several black bears during the past two-weeks. Am I simply creating a buffet dinner on my porch? Nature. Hmm. This next Call wants to know your perspective. Take a look…

PLATES

My kitchen is now tiny. My family has been downsizing year by year in prep for permanent tiny living. My kitchen/dining are is 10′ square. Not small by NYC efficiency standards. For a cabin in the woods serving a family of 3 foodies, it IS small space for a double sink, full-size stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, kitchen table, 4 chairs, & dog bowls. We adapted an under-the-stairs closet as a pantry, created a custom overhead pot rack to free up cabinets space and hung a small folding step stool on the wall to allow easy access to cabinet top space. It is working. In fact, I might be able to work in LESS space. Who knew my space adaptive efforts would be both useful AND a stylish upgrade to my mountain-top kitchen? But can I apply those skills to this next Call? Just maybe…

New Orleans is one of my favorite cities for food. I really believed that Hurricane Katrina would put an end to the complex palate of taste that defined this beautiful town for me.

CHEESE

As I get older, my tastes skew toward whole foods with a higher fat content–nuts, cheese, olives. Yum. My dog is newly enamored with cheddar cheese and almonds too. She recognizes the crackle of the almond bag from the other side of the house, ha.

NO CHICKEN
for dinner

I have nieces in college that will only eat chicken & potatoes. More accurately, their preference is chicken fingers & fries. These ladies are in their twenties. Their parents chose their battles, so to speak, and apparently food wasn’t one of them. Even on special occasions like holidays & birthdays (not even their own), someone always cooks chicken fingers, nuggets or tenders for these two just to keep the peace. This would be a declaration of war in my house. This next Call wants YOUR take on conflict–not just from the battleground either. This is a great opportunity to stretch your artistic self conceptually…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for War & Peace. $24 entry. We’re proud of how many of our readers have been both shown & awarded in the past few years at Darkroom. Take a look…
