High Vibration Eating & Cooking

Today has been a busy one - just getting a few more things done for the holidays as well as trying to finish up some tasks I have set for myself. It's all good though and I am still working away down my list for our upcoming feast....

I just finished making cookies for the freezer (no one got to sample them!) as I thought how much easier it would be to have as much as possible made ahead of time. Then I get to concentrate on the main meals while I enjoy a little free time too.

Yesterday I decided to make another pudding for our collection - this one is a Sticky Date & Fig pudding - it took far longer to cook then I thought it would and I was up every hour checking on the steamer last night, until about 4 this morning! LOL

But, I think this one is going to be a winner because it smelled and looked so nice. It was steamed entirely on the wood stove (perhaps that's why it took 8 hours) and it has got me thinking that this slower cooking method might be even better than all of the slow methods I use now.

So with this in mind I only cooked food today for the kids on the wood stove....I made porridge, baked salmon, rice, stir-fry of veggies and some vegetable mash (carrot, sweet potato). All by gently cooking them on a lower heat for a little longer time.

Because I am still fasting, I really don't know if they tasted any better, however, I think the foods were of a higher vibration because they were handled in a gentler manner. And I am not sure I am explaining this very well here!! LOL

All living things have a vibration - food (especially) picks up and retains the vibrations of those who touch it, cook it as well as the methods used to process or prepare it. When it is gently and carefully made into a meal - then this is exactly the energy that you are consuming...

I feel as if I am learning an entire new way of eating and living here....once again.

Sticky Date & Fig Pudding 

Alternative Energy and Wood Stove Baking

I love finding new ways to cook and enjoy food (it's funny how I seem to discover them while I am fasting!) however, even on day 7 of my detox, I am delighted with myself for having successfully 'baked' scones on top of the wood stove.

Years ago I would have done this as a matter of course (and probably complained about having to eat/live/cook this way) during my long childhood summers spent camping on some family land in Northern Newfoundland. 

It came naturally to me then that if we wanted to eat, we had to improvise with nearly everything. And for some reason, it always worked out just fine and perhaps tasted far better then conventional cooking. Over the weekend, because we were off grid and running on a generator, I decided to give a few things a try...

Throughout the day I made porridge for the children, steamed my Christmas pudding for 8 hours or so, prepared ingredients (melted butter, warmed treacle, cooked shrimp for the turtle) and then to top it all off, successfully made lovely scones which got a thumbs up from my daughter.

The rest are right now in the freezer waiting for me to finish this detox so I can sample them and see what (if any) difference there is to the usual scones. The funny thing is I have a feeling they actually might taste a little better - took longer to cook, were darker on the outside and I had to turn them - but all else was great. 

Today, I am making another pudding for the holidays and will use only the 'off grid' method for this one as well. One thing that is really nice about all of this is how much I am learning about finding, remembering and realizing there are other ways to do things and some of them are even better!
