Food! Glorious Food! I often sing the first line to this song out loud because I love food! It’s glorious.
Here are some reasons why:
Fundamental ingredients in cooking are items that produce salty, sweet, sour, bitter, umami (savory), and fat. Yum! Life is full of these same tastes! Blending sweet and sour creates synergistic flavors and are better combined. As in life, you cannot know and appreciate one without the other - yin/yang. I LOVE the way food teaches about life. The possibilities of combinations and ingredients are endless. Fusion cuisine blends different cultures and makes something amazing. Fusion cooking is an invitation for us to look at the good in other cultures and create a world where differences are enjoyed, respected, and celebrated. Sushi Fusion.pdf

Many cultures, including Hawaiian, believe that words carry energy and power to create. We create our experience through the words we use and think. Henry Ford said “whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right”.
What are your thoughts creating? Do they inspire greatness or mediocrity? It takes an ongoing effort to monitor your thoughts and keep them positive, but it is life changing! Every word carries a vibrational energy. Dr. Masaru Emoto, the author of The Secret of Water, did an experiment where he covered 3 bowls of rice with water. Over the course of a month, he said thank you to the first bowl, derogatory words to the second bowl and ignored the 3rd bowl. The results were astounding. The rice he thanked every day remained white, its water started to ferment and gave off a mild pleasant odor. The rice given negative words was black and rotten. The ignored rice had gone bad, but was not as decayed as the second bowl. Whoa!!! Again I ask, what are your thoughts and words creating - decay or beauty? Some people think they can’t cook. Remember, whether you think you can or you can’t…. If you are one of those people, I invite you to say positive things before, during and after you cook. If you can’t muster “I’m a great cook”, you can start with “I’m going to have fun making this!” The energy of your thoughts goes into the food you create. Think great thoughts my fellow Foodies! |
