I feel pretty much the same way.except I have a blog and he didn't. 10: Wisdom is Avoiding All Thoughts that Weaken You. And yet so complex. In its theory - yes, obtaining wisdom seems easy. Avoid weakening thoughts. Though, in the sense that execution is difficult. Paradox! Involves thoughts that move us upward (the "high" energies - love, peace, kindness, joy, willingness, etc.). Force. Involves the "low" energ...

Wish You Were Here. The great Socrates once said, "All I really know is that I know nothing. I feel pretty much the same way.except I have a blog and he didn't.

It's possible today's post will offend and nauseate animal-loving vegetarians. And while I am sorry about that, I can hardly apologize for stating that Cows are amazing things. Mostly we love cows because they are tasty between two pieces of bread or covered with a nice chasseur. But beef is so much more than that. There...

If I were to write about my own personal history of swimsuits, it would be very simple: no bikinis, two maternity swimsuits, a host of forgettable one-pieces, a MiracleSuit, and then in my 30s, I began to wear the Lands' End look popular for many, many mothers across the nation:. Thank you, Lands' End. She is lovely. Per se...

To Thine Own Self, Be Food. Trying to make sense of this crazy world.one foodstuff, beverage, and meal at a time. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Nearly two weeks ago, the Man and I decided it was serious high time to refocus, get in shape, and get our consumption under control. What did that mean? My husband's plan was, vaguely, this: eat better and exercise. As a former teacher, the problem was immediately visible. NO measurable means of progress.how would we know we were "eating better"? It's a British app, so...

To Thine Own Self, Be Food. Trying to make sense of this crazy world.one foodstuff, beverage, and meal at a time. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The Fruits of One's Labor. Two meanings, for me, that particular phrase:. I have a garden, and it is that time of season to begin the harvest and reap the fruits of those labors, so to speak. In my humble opinion, planting and maintaining the garden is the easy part. Even harvesting is simple.and gratifying, as well. 4 Bake it at 350. Stir every 20 minutes. I really do...

To Thine Own Self, Be Food: Let's Caramelize Onions!
http://nelsonfoodjourneys.blogspot.com/2015/07/lets-caramelize-onions.html

Probably because onions are juicy and pungent and a bit spicy. And it's hard to get past the word caramelized. Without seeing the word caramel. Which brings a sweet, brown candy or sauce to mind. Hard to put those two things together, I grant you. Yeah, you did, but still. There I pulled them off the heat fift...

So Two pieces of news here on Mackinac Island. One, the big piece: I come home this month (meaning September). I decided to terminate my contract with the Grand Hotel almost six weeks before I'd originally intended, but frankly, it's time to go home and get on with the decisions that need to be made at home. The picture is crumm...
