We are all waiting to be enchanted!! In this age of convenience foods and eating disorders, the concept of actually enjoying food and its preparation has been swept under the rug. Your focus on delight and kitchen beauty is truly rare, we all need that magic to nourish our bodies along with our souls. I believe that even the most nutritious fare doesn't do any good if there's resistance and lack of joy in the eating of it. Please hurry up and finish this so that we can begin that visceral healing!

It is a crime to call it a convenience (actually the food itself is a crime at so called fast food joints). Our ancestors reveled in the celebratory process of eating, they honored and they thanked. Most of all they appreciated what they reaped. It meant labor of love in so many ways and again our ancestors even gave lives to feed families during the hunt. Food is sacred, it is the nourishment for our bodies and just as important as the nourishment that we read and fill our souls with. It should be celebrated and it should be whole, just as it was given to us from Gaia. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lives in yourself. -- Tecumseh Ah yes, the celebration of food.

When you arise in the morning,

give thanks for the morning light,

for your life and strength.

give thanks for your food

and the joy of living.

If you see no reason for giving thanks,

the fault lives in yourself.
