I
have been fasting this week…so not much in the way of cooking right now (except
making loads of sourdough breads!) however I have been doing lots of thinking
about food (what else is new?) and pondering some revamped recipes for our
upcoming Mid Summer feast.
In
case you have not been checking the calendar this Friday at 5:04am in Ireland
is the summer solstice…the longest day of summer and a great reason to have a
feast! It is also the full moon within a couple of days and is quite a magical
time for us all.
We
have been planning our menu over this past week or so….but this time it keeps
wavering. No one is really set on exactly what they would like to have – just
food and lots of it! LOL
Perhaps
it’s because we have not done any really long fasts this time around – just
many little ones for less then 5 days or so. Or maybe there is something else
at work here….
Remember
how I have been mentioning that our guts have reset, changed, altered and the
internal landscape is now a completely different place? (Since our mother of all cleanses in March) Well…just maybe this
has everything to do with what is taking place on the table right now, so to speak.
Our
menu is changing because the gut bacteria and other internal intestinal
organisms have done a complete shift – they are growing and in place now. I
think of it in terms of my ‘new’ internal mother culture – only this one works
with me, loves me, heals and uplifts me.
Whereas
before (like for the rest of my entire life) these organisms were either not
present or not in significant numbers to influence me in entirely positive,
healthful ways. And most importantly – what was in place was not working with
me and certainly not for my benefit.
I
finally feel as if I have my gut sorted – the ground-work has been laid and my
inner garden is growing. Now….the most difficult task ahead of me is to decide what
to have on each of these feast days!
