The Best Food
The Best Food. Part 2. The best food exists and it’s a [insert your idea of the best food]. Does it tick the boxes for nutrition, calories, taste, joy, sustainability, convenience, instagramability, home-madeness, locality, community support, etc., etc… ? Or you might think the best food is - in the words of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart “I know it when I see it”.

Togetherness
This is not the first time I think about the people I am with, rather than working in the steaming hot kitchen. As easy as it would be to cook with someone, more often this activity is reserved for one. The chef, the owner, the host, the mother. A single unit always rules the hearth of the house and maybe there are no other ways but for the one to take on the responsibility. I had seen many people owning to the expectations of the good cooks, chefs, owners, and mothers but hardly ever at the same time. Last week I was invited not to be a stranger, take charge, help, to play a part.

Nothing Better Than Mama’s Chicken Noodle Soup
When I was a kid, I had a terrible immune system. I would always get sick. At least once a year i would have something terrible - mostly bronchitis and pneumonia. And let's just say, I hated (and still do) canned chicken noodle soup.

The Writing Is on the Wall
I am blessed in many ways to be a writer, and right now, I feel especially privileged to be a writer of sci-fi/dystopian fiction. This has given me a level of insight into crisis survival that many people don’t possess. I am also blessed to be able to volunteer at a local organization that serves the ID/DD community (Intellectual Disability/Developmental Disability - I am an autistic person), working to stock and organize our Food Pantry, where clients come to “shop” for supplemental foodstuffs to stretch their food dollars and eat healthy meals. These two parts of my life have given me an edge, which I feel needs to be shared.

Baa Baa Black Sheep
Europe Norway Farikal is the national dish of Norway. This is a hearty stew prepared with mutton and cabbage and served with boiled potatoes. The simple ingredients of mutton, cabbage, water, salt, and pepper are boiled together to make a favorable broth. When the stew is done, the broth is thickened with flour. Even though this stew can be eaten year-round, it is traditionally a dish served in the autumn.

Plant Based Week 1 is done
Plant Based Diet Week 1 is behind me…. Weight: 301.4 Blood Pressure: 130/95 So this week I’ve been reading Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s The End of Dieting (published 2014). He talks about the Standard American Diet being like an addiction (so does Dr. Neal Bernard). Dr. Fuhrman states that if you are overweight - you are a food addict. And I’ve heard that before. I am sure that I am a food addict and when depressed, stressed or upset - I medicate with horrible foods. I want to quit cold turkey (and that is what I’m trying to do this year), but as he says on page 26, “But it doesn’t work that way. It’s not about will power. There are no shortcuts. Addictions don’t respond to easy answers. You can’t “just say no””. You still have to eat each day.
