I can't believe how fast this year is going by. Some days I am fired up on cooking, another day training, another day my practices, but it never lands all on the same day it seems.
Since my last post I have continued plugging along on the Jamie recipes - last week I made the tagliatelle and broccoli with cheese sauce. It was ridiculous. I went to Market Hall and got freshly made whole wheat pasta and some heavenly fontina. The recipe had me do something I would never have thought of. You boil a pot of water then place a bowl over it so that it's balanced on the rim of the pot. You put in a good amount of the fontina, parmesean, creme fraishe, and let it all melt. Then you add fresh herbs and an egg yolk to thin the sauce. You throw in your brocolli and pasta for like 90 seconds, strain, stir in your sauce and done. The whole think took about 20 minutes simply because I had to grate the cheese and read the directions. Yummy...
I've gotten really inspired around the training. I have been working on my business standards and also my website. I am doing a lot of research right now, learning about what other people are doing, how they are marketing themselves, what they offer, what credentials they have. The more research I do the more confident I feel in that what we do is unique and also valuable and at the same time I can see a hundred ways to improve. It's exciting, I'm so grateful I'm on this path.
So some days I exercise, some days I meditate, never am I meeting my 1 hour a day of a combo. It's still my ideal but I'm wondering why I gave myself something that requires such a leap from where I was when I started. I am trying to make small changes that will add up to an hour everyday because really I know that's what I need for my health, sanity and spirit.
I hope everyone is staying inspired and motivated. If there is anything you need let me know.
Love,
Ali
