Once again I looked into my shopping cart and saw only real food. Hope I never loose that little 'kick.' Today's feast shopping was centered around the ham and the mashed potatoes. Bought a bag of apples, one of mandarins, and another of bananas. Broke my rule against buying produce at Aldi's. I am making that store my once a month pantry supplier, but their produce has to be used quickly.
Somewhere along the line Captain Obvious kicked in. Maybe it was while I helped 'small' cooker look for the smallest ham. All these years of cooking small, and I finally get to cook big. Eating well. I finally get to eat well. Eating well is a celebration of food, a community experience, joy of the senses. Connecting with food from your fingertips, through your nose, with your ears, your tongue, your heart. Eating truly well is eating as big as you are able. | Shannon's fertile mind fed mine with an insight on my 'blaming' the herbal tea with my current 'plight.' My poor body was overdosing on wheat. My body was being poisoned and today I gave thanks to the tea that expedited my healing. I've been afraid of the second does of the tea, but I will now embrace it. I am learning to listen to my body, to get closer to the food I give it. Shannon and I are both looking back, finding lessons we missed because we needed this time to be able to see. |
