Feeling sad for a senior with no escort in a long line … thinking about my frail mom and my heart aches. I am not alone.
Who needs Laughter Yoga just about now? Beautiful practice I can either refer to those in the field or comically work with you – just msg wagayoga@gmail.com for your therapy today:)
Yoga is not about stretching in prezel poses – yes, it’s about stretching to make space where cramped but more than anything, it’s a beautiful practice to find JOY and reconnect with the inherent light we all have within.
Yes, remotely but successfully due largely in part by Rumi sharing her expert know-how when it comes to the best tasting (in my humble opinion) kimchi ever ! It’s not too sour nor hot – but just the right complex hotness that’s not overpowering so we can actually taste the goodness of all the labor-intensive amounts of cabbage and radish that’s in there. AND this red chilli pepper, she supplied!! OMG.
Rumi has an michievious infectious laughs and … it’s best to keep your composure – be warned – you do not, and I repeat, do NOT burst out laughing when pouring this red powder substance into the bowl of nappa cabbage, daikon, leeks, green onions, secret other goodies and essence – be warned !
letting nappa cabbage drain with salt
nappa cabbage and more
a dash of the Korean red chili pepper
sprinkle more & hold your breath
fold into the veggies
mix to this
Be warned ! HOT STUFF ! YES, all this & more were “sprinkled” 🙂
Store bought kimchi is NO MATCH to this home-made Kimichi – now ready to ferment – just wait and wait but if you cannot stand to wait – then, try some fresh. Then compare a week or two later … see if you can hold out until fermentation takes place.
Thank you Rumi-sensei for the instructions and sharing all that knowledge and this … PEPPER !
Fresh baked out of the oven ! Nothing like warm and crusty bread … yes, it’s kinda fun… you get to kneed the dough, you get to see it rise and double in size from the initial ball of goo … into this beautiful golden loaf. Simple pleasures discovered during this time of “restrictions”.
When we go back to the way things used to be before March 2020, I really think we are actually going to miss these days of “restrictions” even though people speak of pent up demands for travels and … just socialing in gatherings … the normal stuff. Yes, that might be true but there will be times when we again long for the SLOW days when we had to use our imaginations and creativity to make things… when we had to make efforts to live without all what we took for granted. Yes, more time will be freed up when you don’t have to stand in lines to get into pick up a loaf of bread … more time to get busier and again lose our real pursuits.
Still, I must stay I am ready and I will not go back to exactly the way I was … the last one year was not wasted. No.
