2010 January



Welcome to the picnic!

What's happening with The Lunch Box Project in 2010?
I've accomplished my 2009 new year's resolution...to post a food painting every day. Three-hundred and sixty-five days later I'm ready to start my next resolution...focusing my food on monthly themes. Why? Ironically, narrowing your focus actually expands your ideas. Let's see what happens.

Oh, and I'll be posting three times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday), rather than everyday. That will allow more time to work on other projects. My first is creating a food alphabet poster, then I'll finish my book proposal. A new website is in the works too.

Monthly Theme :: Ice
My monthly themes will now include both my newsletter and blog. This month’s theme is ice. Below you’ll find a chilled January calendar, three cool recipes and some icy art. To finish it all up, I’ve included a notecard discount in Lunch Box Specials. Read the last paragraph way below to find out how you can participate in future newsletters or click here.

Monthly Foodie Calendar
Here is the free January foodie calendar...highlighting an ice bucket to celebrate the incoming year. Just click here and it will take you to flickr where you can download the calendar on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper. Please recycle – print it on the back of something else that was meant for the trash.

Sweet Food Blogs
In the food world ice can chill food or be an integral component to the recipe. Find out more here.

Food Art
Here are three artists that have incorporated ice into their food-related artwork. Find out more here.

Submit Your Blogs, Artwork, Ideas

These are the upcoming monthly themes:

February :: Cocktails

April :: Daisies
May :: Donuts
