Return from the hiatus

I have been getting phone calls, emails, text messages all saying the same thing: When are you going to update the blog? Why haven't you updated? Where did Zebra Tomato whatever-the name-is go? 

Truth:

These past two weeks not only have I NOT updated the blog, I have NOT done my laundry, I have NOT cashed two checks, I have NOT checked my text messages, and I have NOT inserted the grammatical corrections that my dad suggested into the blog. 

Why? 

It's not that I am falling apart- not to worry. I have been very busy, cooking for clients, catering for a party, working for a local resturant. I have been having a great time!  But on the other hand,  as my yoga teacher would say, I have been going on automatic pilot. As someone who loves cooking, I have not been cooking for myself. I have been eating on the go, shoving food into my mouth without paying attention to the taste, forgetting to breath, and literally waking up with my hands in fists. Lets face it: it is easy to take care of ourselves when we have nothing else to do, it is when we are busy schlepping (yiddish) things around that we forget about ourselves. We forget to nourish ourselves properly. Lately: I have been forgetting about myself, and for that matter about the blog. (Notice without judgement if you fall into the category of someone who always finds something else to do except nourish yourself) - I must be watching to much entreatment...hahhahha

But as my yoga teacher says: all you have to do is START again. That's all you have to do: begin again over and over and over again. That's really easy to say but it hard to do when you are not on vacation. So here is a free voucher I am inviting all of you to try it... as I am doing right now even though there are dirty clothes all over the floor of my room, and my blog is not grammatically correct.... and... and.... START again. invite yourself to start again.

It is a constant battle to stay present with yourself; the easiest way I find is to prepare a meal for yourself. Even if it is take out: take the meal out of the wrapper, sit down!, put the food on fine china with your favorite beverage and enjoy it! Sit down, don't eat it out of the refrigerator!

On that note- 

Bon appetite
