Yesterday, my mother-in-law Mary Rosen finally passed away, after almost 20 years with Parkinsons. We are very thankful that we got to say goodbye, although being without her is difficult to imagine.
Although her life was very difficult for 10 of those 20 years, she never once complained.… Read the rest
Attended the Annual Meeting of the MPHA today in Marlborough. A nicely run affair, with its awards for service, voting for new leaders, and a couple of interesting guests (John Auerbach, MA DPH Commissioner, and food activist Mark Winne, author of Closing The Food Gap).… Read the rest
Today I pleased everyone in the house with a nice cellophane noodles in shoyu broth, so easy to make!
Fill a medium sized pot with 6 cups water, a few cut up and rinsed oyster (or any type) mushrooms, bring to a boil.… Read the rest
A friend of mine dropped by this morning to share some Kangen Water. She is using it with good results and thinking of selling systems (multi-level, it’s a Japanese system for hundreds to a couple thousand dollars) that separate water into an acidic run-off (which you can use as a cleaner, very clever!)… Read the rest
The beautiful serenity of a good night’s rest can be quickly shattered by an alarm clock or an uptight spouse.
I have taken many classes in meditation, yoga, d0-in, and have developed a morning routine that works well for me. Here’s what I normally do…
1) Open the shade and window, and breathe in deeply while gazing at the rising sun in my woodsy backyard (I am lucky)
2) Sit up straight and breathe, then give myself a masssage from my head and face to my neck, shoulders, arms and hands, to my shakras (7 altogether), to my legs and feet.… Read the rest
Our kids don’t always love it, but most mornings when we greet them in the kitch, it’s over a nice bowl of miso soup.
A large bowl for the parents, a small one for the kids, have a few sips and we’ll bring you some nice brown rice (and sauteed vegetables).… Read the rest
re you a good cook? Do you routinely cook at least one meal per day for yourself and/or your family? How often are these meals vegan? (that means no animal flesh, eggs, dairy or sugar, which is whitened with cow bones).… Read the rest
Last night, I took my friend Ron to Piccadilly Pub in Westboro. Although I am 98% vegan, I will sometimes take a bullet for my kids, or yield to a social situation (some things never enter my mouth, such as hot dogs, hamburgers, or fast food, I have my limits!)… Read the rest
Just saw Will Tuttle speak (saw him once before) in Sudbury. Unbelievable guy, so inspirational.
Lived in a trailer for the past 10 years, with his artist wife, cris-crossing the country, speaking about his book, and playing music for people. I was not able to capture the mood in the room, but I did get a few thoughts…
According to Heifer, International, cows were created for 4 Ms…Meat, Milk, Manure and Money
Every day, 75 million animals are killed in the USA for food.… Read the rest
As I told the people at the Acton Networking group I spoke to this past Monday evening, chewing can make a dramatic difference in the digestion process, and yield results such as:
1) Weight Loss
2) Better Mood & Concentration
3) Lower Toxicity in your body
4) Higher Immunity
It works great for all foods, but is especially powerful when you chew boiled grains such as rice, millet, barley, corn, quinoa, amaranthe, spelt, etc.… Read the rest
