One Man's food is another Man's Poison
I make a dog-friendly version of almost everything that we make for dinner.
Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!
My mom said the two most important kitchen utensils are attached to your arms. . . you cannot mix up meatballs with a wooden spoon, get in there, get your fingers dirty!
If you're humble and hardworking, opportunities will arise for you.
You do it with your own two hands, so there's a sense of pride. You really do forget all our problems, because you're focusing on the food.
Be real. Make connections with people. Look them in the eye. Tell them how you feel. Don't be afraid to say what you mean. When you let go of the stuff you hold inside, you'll be amazed at what comes back to you.
Principles are a dangerous form of social dynamite.
However, when we shift our awareness or "frequency" from self-consciousness - where fear, impossibility or feelings of separation reside - to cosmic consciousness, which is in total harmony with the universe and where none of those feelings exist, then anything is possible.
Everything that's prose isn't verse and everything that isn't verse is prose. Now you see what it is to be a scholar!
I am willing to walk toward, and then through, whatever may be seen in the moment as being greater than myself.
