Hi everyone!
Jeanne, I don't have anyone that helps with the cooking unless we spend
holidays with my inlaws. This is hard because they are about a three hour
drive away. My mother-in-law and I share a few things in common; one of
them is that we both like to sleep in our own beds.
But it's OK. I believe there's a ying and yang to good living and good
cooking so I try to listen to my inner self, and do the most I can to
achieve the most pleasing result I can. We just moved into our house about
8 months ago. I hope down the road, we make some new good friends around
here and on holidays everybody can bring a dish. That's the way to do it I
think.
I know I'm a better cook than my mom because I have learned to take time to
listen to my own internal drum and also to listen to the beat of the food.
I am laughing so that I wrote that! I think you learn about cooking by
practice. I still make some clunckers in there. My mom loved to cook but
as she got older, she became more and more busy listening to the internal
workings of other people; she was a social worker in private practice.
They are, I guess already crazy out there shopping. Even though the first
Sunday of Advent is coming up, I resent having to listen to Christmas music
when I go in to the local drug store, like we've had to this week. Today I
saw people out buying Christmas trees. I had an urge to stop the car and
ask them what they planned to do when the needles on the trees they were
buying all fell off and the trees died before 12/25 or if they always
planned every year to buy two trees. But then one has to take a deep
breath, restore inner calm and repeat to oneself, I am not in control of
everybody's holiday season. I only can influence the kind of holiday
season I have and that's OK!
My grandmother grew up on the lower East side of New York, and as she used
to say, how's by you? How are all your pets?
Lots of love and hugs to you and all Molers,
Martha
