CUCURBITA

Squash is yellow in my house. If I ask, “do you want squash with dinner”, I mean the yellow, long-neck variety of summer squash. If I want acorn, spaghetti or zucchini squash I will ask for it. My family believes that it is politically incorrect, but I don’t think the squash are offended. Someone let me know if they enter this next Call. Take a look…

HAD A COW

Have you heard about the cannulated cows? Wow. Who knew there were cows with port holes? I was watching the Wisconsin edition of Weird Foods America. And a professor at UW-Madison Department of Dairy Science was explaining how they put port holes in the side of cows to study the “ruminant’s digestive process” or the chewing of the cud aka “ruminating.” Into my miscellaneous food trivia file THAT tidbit went; THEN, I received this Call from Ruminate Magazine. Funny how things work out…

fads

Not every food fad is a good one. I am still waiting for jalapeno poppers and chicken fingers to go away. But, if farm to table/plate is a fad, I hope it lasts forever. I am so inspired by how much better the options are out there. And if you happen across a town that already prides itself on food, well then you’re in for a food fantasy. This next Call explores the food to plate issue in a beautiful format. Take a look…

breakfast
BANANAS

Everyone has to eat on the run sometimes. Not every meal can be separated into courses that stretch out over 2 hours. But, compact meals don’t have to be of lesser quality just because they are rushed. My favorite all-in-one breakfast is bananas with crunchy peanut or almond butter with a few berries chopped for the top. Compact but quality–just like this 4 in 1 Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life

Posted on July 24, 2014July 29, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATERMELON
for miles

I cannot eat enough watermelon these days. And, I am intrigued by the variances. My town has ONE grocery store, and the markings indicate that most of the watermelons they carry come from a single source. So how is it that 3 melons of equal ripeness bought on 3 different days taste SO different? One is super sweet, one in grainy & one is ripe, but tangy. This next Call is for Still Life where the presence of fruit is ubiquitous. Did you every notice how rarely you see watermelon in those paintings? Contemplate that when you choose your subject matter…

CALL for ENTRIES: Soul of a Woman

EGGY

How is it that quiche became girly food? I was at a cafe recently that specializes in quiche. The waitress was reciting the day’s specials to a neighboring table of guests when the man interrupted her to say, “I’m not interested in quiche; I’m a MAN.” Really? It is eggs, cream and cheese. I thought, “Maybe it is due to the pie form.” But, men eat pie, right? I don’t understand his reasoning, but I restrained myself from asking for the sake of the man sitting at my table. Maybe this next Call is looking for the quiche-goodness in women only. Maybe. Investigate…

EGG

If we are what we eat, then my self-portrait would be an egg. My family of 3 goes through dozens of eggs per week when you take into account the scrambled, poached & fried varieties plus the frittata, quiche, hollandaise, mayonnaise & cookies. DOZENS. If you have dozens of self-portraits from which to choose, you’re in good shape for this next Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Bicycle

MEALS
on 2 wheels

If you work on a bicycle (cop, messenger, etc), how do you bring your lunch to work? It isn’t as though bike messengers ride around on trikes with baskets on the back. Are they, by nature of their transportation, doomed to eat out for lunch everyday. I’m going to assume they make a special lunch bag just for cyclists. This next Call is all about the bicycle as well. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Lines into Shapes

DOUGH not

The hot-fresh-now doughnut purveyor is very popular during tourist season in the Smokies. Summertime often means a car line for the drive thru stretches for a 1/4 mile down the Parkway. I don’t understand. I’ll stand in line, or sit in line, for a lot of foods, but why doughnuts? Donuts with a K are everywhere aren’t they? What makes them so special while you’re on vacation? It baffles me. This next Call does NOT baffle me, and the name is all about the lines. Check out the gallery and/or online show choice. Interesting option…

What’s your favorite edible flower? Most of us have had a lilac or rose petal infused whipped cream. But I want to encourage you to try a little Calendula in place of saffron or peppery Nasturtium salad. Just remember that blooms used in cooking must be orgainic–no exceptions. Also, be sure to wash them well to remove all traces of fertilizers like manure. This next Call is all about blooms, edible or not. Take a look…
