Deep Thoughts by Sayde Lorelei Ah, Parenthood...the perfect practice of living in the moment. Just when you have a plan, something large or small, the wee one has another plan; their needs and demands are based on a higher pattern of growth and learning that we only can only decipher in retrospect. But if we breathe and open our eyes to the moment, this moment, the pattern will unfold clearly. Your pattern is unfolding clearly, because we continue to grow and learn until we leave this body. Learn from the higher parent. Meditation of the Week To be autumn is to be like the leaves. We let go, float, surrender, but in doing so we plan for the next season. Like the leaves that change color, our work seems to be done as we changing ours goals and direction this time of year, but the real work is done for the future. As the leaves fall to the earth and mulch, compost, transmute, their energy is saved for spring. We may start projects that are put aside in cold weather or with the bustle of holidays to come, but what you plan now is as important as who you plan to be. Plan to be beautiful. Recipe of the Week Creamy Cabbage serves 8
Bring water and salt to a boil in large pan or double boiler. Slice cabbage 1/4" thick and drop into water, 1 color at a time. Return to boil and blanche for 1 minute each. Using a slotted spoon to scoop out cabbage (or your double boiler), lay out on tea towels and pat dry. Melt butter over medium heat, cooking celery seed and shallot 2 minutes (until fragrant). Add cream, bring to a boil, and reduce to simmer until the cream thickens (about 5 minutes). Add cabbage, cook for 3-5 minutes, and taste for salt and pepper. Serve warm and delicious. **You can add protein to this dish with lima beans, edamame or the like. And for a classier presentation, top with bread crumbs and broil. |
