Posted on December 13, 2016December 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

for the love of DESSERT

There IS scientific data to back up the validity of some effects of so-called aphrodisiacs, but some are a real stretch. We all know about the standards, oysters & coffee & chili peppers, but my favorites remain figs & honey. Both preserve well in various forms so that I can buy them in peak season, and they just invite Greek dessert recipes which are winners in my house every time. This next Call is also for Valentine’s Day. Take a look…

seaside FARE

I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the premiere food towns in the U.S. We were always proud of both the seafood & the fried chicken in the Holy City. And while Charleston-ians still have every reason to be proud of the fresh sea fare & deep-fried poultry, the food scene has developed as a shining example of the best of ALL things edible –French, Cajun, Greek & most other imaginable cuisines. The South isn’t just Southern, just like the jurors of this next Call. Investigate this one…

circus FOOD

Popcorn is the nightly snack of choice at my home, but lately it has taken on a more symbolic nature. The current election climate has left me feeling disconnected from the political process –as though my voice and vote don’t count. It feels like I’m watching a movie, eating popcorn and yelling at the innocent girl to warn her that the bad guy looms just around the next corner. This next Call strives to connect people to the political and social issues that comprises contemporary culture. Take a look…

Before his retirement, he was clinical associate professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and member of the Institute for Medical Humanities, The University of Texas Medical Branch, specializing in issues related to HIV/AIDS. In addition to being the subject of numerous gallery exhibitions, Avery’s work is found in many prestigious permanent collections.

CORN

I have such reservations about corn but none about corn pudding. We had it for dinner tonight. I always think of corn as hailing from Iowa. (I am clearly like a marketing sponge.) But as I spent hours on the back roads of Ohio last year trying to avoid the nightmare that is I-75 South, I drove through miles and miles and miles of corn fields, intersected only by the occasional two-lane or gravel road. Dazzling. Beautiful. Waving both “hello” & “goodbye”. A landscape of corn. In Ohio. This next Call wants your landscape or seascape, or even your corn. Take a look…

Food is so personal. A client recently asked if I had any dietary restrictions so that she could be prepared for our branding consultation that will span a lunch time.

WILD

Have you ever eaten a persimmon? I am headed out for a road-trip soon, and I am super excited about eating persimmon pudding in Indiana. Persimmons are typically cultivated in the southeastern U.S. but grow WILD throughout much of Indiana. I think their love of this weird little fruit has resulted in some of the best uses, including the notorious pudding. Give a persimmon a try. Make sure it is ripe though; trust me. This next Call IS ripe and from Indiana. (I know. Bad. Sorry.) This is a great call…

Every last member of my family is a mustard fiend. There are rarely ever appearances of plain yellow mustard in my house. Dijon is the mustard of choice for the majority of the family. And while I have a soft spot for homemade, hot Chinese mustard, I rarely indulge (too lazy to make it). Brown mustard gets an occasional at bat around here on a whim, but Dijon is our comfort zone, our fall back, our home base if you will. This next gallery is a little like home base for me. Please don’t miss this opportunity…

CHERRIES

Did you know there is an edible form of the dogwood? Cornus Mas, aka Cornelius Cherry Dogwood, produces small ruby red or yellow fruit that makes great jam. The fruit is a common Iranian snack when salted, and I’ve even heard rumors that a few home brewers have been make wine from the fruit. I’m thinking that finding the jam might be the easiest start. In the meantime, let’s celebrate the non-edible dogwood by making art for this next Call. Take a look…
