Once in my pajamas (about 5pm), I am too lazy… to walk or drive the .3 miles to one of my favorite restaurants for a caprese salad, chocolate chip banana bundt cake or any of their fantastic offerings.  And, they are truly fantastic.  They need a bike delivery person, right?  I’ll have to remember to drop that in the suggestion box.  This next Call sees all that is good about the bicycle as well.  Take a look…

Sometimes I buy non-perishable specialty foods in multiples.  It is hard not to when they are on super sale.  However, I don’t necessarily need 6 jars of Chinese mustard or 4 bags of buckwheat.  I am careful about expiration dates, but sometimes it would really  be nice if the expiration dates on these items would flash and warn me when I’m getting close.  Consider this your flashing expiration date on this next Call.  Don’t delay…

Any work of art can be used, in any medium from painting, to film, music, architecture, photography, sculpture, culinary arts etc. The entry should not be a replica of the work but a re-interpretation, continuation, or unique version of the original artwork.

I’ve never been a coffee drinker Well, I used to submit to occasional peer pressure in social situations.  Wait, that didn’t sound like I was talking about coffee did it?  I probably have not had coffee, or any of its infinite variations, in over 10 years.  Nope, I am really not kidding.  I used to have my morning caffeine via a diet soft drink, but now I often drink the caffeine-free variety…if at all.  I have friends that cannot comprehend how I function without coffee or caffeine.  I dunno.  This next Call celebrates the morning coffee ritual.  Be careful, contents may be hot…

We don’t have leftovers at our house.  Any additional food that isn’t scarfed up by my ravenous 13-year-old or my string-bean skinny husband ends up being eaten as a lunch within a couple of days or as an additional ingredient in dinner that week.  I’m not sure why people object to leftovers so much.  Maybe it is a marketing problem.  We should take a nod from the British and start giving dishes made from leftovers great names like Bubble and Squeak.  This next Call is your chance to have a showing in London.  Take a look…

Louis Singh says, “St Ives in the 1970s was a somewhat lazier place than today. Late morning deals were customarily made with cigarette in one hand and glass of sherry in the other. Back then my father had the Wills Lane gallery which ensured my mind was constantly flooded with images of the St Ives School as soon as my eyes had opened.

“When I was ten my parents opened the Beaux Arts gallery in Bath which continued to nurture these Cornish roots. These days with a sister gallery in London, minus the sherry, not much has changed. I busy myself by keeping the gallery from growing old by steering some youth and raw contemporary talent, towards its doors.”

Apparently I speak food-ese.  In the South, we speak in metaphors and euphemisms so often that I forget that not everyone gets it.  While working on a real estate deal recently, my agent said, “Do you need to consult someone before we sign the contract?”  My response was, “Nope, I’m the top banana.  It’s a peach of a house, and if some prune doesn’t like it…Well, that’s just how the cookie crumbles.”  She replied, “Did you miss lunch?”  Hehehe.  True story, I promise.  This next Call is all about the Reality & Metaphor of it all.  Take a look…
