boxy BITES

Making pasta used to be a joy.  I enjoyed hand-cutting linguine and stuffing beautiful little half-moon ravioli. But, my husband’s Celiac’s diagnosis put a crimp in my ravioli revelry.  Luckily GF flour has come a long way.  I am making pie crusts and little stuffed ravioli to my hearts content again.  I have dispensed with the round & half-moon shapes, along with my biscuit cutter, but I find the square has its own appeal.  This next Call appreciates the square form as well.  Take a look…

BITE me

BREAKFAST eggspert

I miss breakfast.  I have been complaining about being sick of eggs for 10 years, but I’d give anything for an egg sandwich right now.  My residency provides the basics so that we can make our own breakfast –eggs, bread, butter, yogurt, granola.  But, you know what happens when a chef prepares every lunch & dinner you eat?  In my case, I’ve become too lazy to make my own breakfast outside a bowl of granola. *sigh*  This next Call if for your impressions of the light of day… not necessarily what you eat a dawn, ha.  Take a look.

what TO EAT, or what NOT TO EAT

Famous words, “No politics, let’s eat.”  FOOD IS POLITICAL.  In the United States, for example, our Department of Agriculture suggests that half our diet be composed of fruits & vegetable (great); however, more than 60% of agricultural subsidies go to corn & other grains which are primarily consumed by the commercial meat & poultry industries.  Do you know how much of those subsidy funds go to growers of fruits & vegetables? Less than 1%.  Food is political.  This next Call wants to know what YOU have to say about today’s political climate, food politics optional, of course.  Take a look…

COOK for me

Why are there so few female chefs and so many female cooks?  It turns out that professional cooking jobs are like so many other jobs –ruled by gender stereotypes.  I lived most of my pre-adolescence without a residential female figure, and I was always taught it was my job to learn to cook.  I cooked most of my familial meals from age 5, yes 5, to age 15.  Imagine my surprise when I got to cooking school and found myself the only woman in my class.  This next call explores masculinity. Do you have something to say? Take a look…

have some CANDY

My grandmother was addicted to candy. She would stock up near the candy-laden holidays Easter, Halloween and Christmas, and try to get it eaten at a faster rate than it would solidify in a solid block of colored sugar.  So, it wasn’t her sweet grandmotherly instinct to push candy on me at every occasion; it was stock rotation, ha. After she died, I could have started a candy store with the volume of candy in her kitchen. This Call is a chance for you to celebrate the life of someone who has passed from the physical world.  Take a look…

presto PESTO

the EGGY truth

Sometimes you just need a win.  In the kitchen, my win is usually an egg dish.  I think of them as the basics — hard boiled, frittata, omelette, quiche.  The skills used to make those four egg dishes include many of the fundamentals for cooking well.  Drawing is a fundamental that helps support every other media pursuit for me from painting to photography, even fiber arts.  This next Call wants to see YOUR drawing.  Investigate…

brain FOOD

There are lots of foods I eat that give others pause.  There are lots of foods that I have tried once but will never consume again.  Then there are foods that make no sense to me, at all.  When I was in college, my favorite 24 hour diner was legendary.  It had been open since the 1930s, and because it was located just steps from the state capitol, the stories that built its reputation were also legendary.  The menu was populated with standard fare like over-easy eggs and BLTs, but among the meat options included were souse, head cheese & calf brains.  Really?  Did any of those things come in such high demand that they warranted permanent menu status? *shudder*  I’ll keep my brain associations within my own head, thank-you-very-much.  Speaking of heads, take a look…
