Science and Food Common Sense

Spring Farmers Markets. Get out there!

One wise person once said, 'Common Sense, if it was so common, more people would have more of it.' This injected comment is not about being critical. It demonstrates that we are in a new age for body and biology and sometimes like when the computer hit the world, you just have to wise up and see the handwriting on the wall before your nose touches it.

Enter the food pyramid changes this last month. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/la-he-food-pyramid-20110602,0,3746868.story

Cell Cuisine Gets a Look

No question that the body is one amazing mass of molecules. Molecules make parts. And part by part they make us. They need nourishment. It is essential to know more on a daily basis how we work and what we need. Before you from this Vegetable Alchemist is another update for

Cell Cuisine tm .

This concept and graphics are an entirely new original take on how to focus on self care. Never underestimate the slogan ' You are what you eat.' Cell Cuisine tm is much more than just food. It is about viewing fun things that happen at the molecular level in each of us, that is part food and part body care. Recipes have flavor, color, balance and practical cost, but with a redefined central purpose. This education into self care at every age is the present new norm we all need. Viva la Cell Cuisine tm: vegetables, herbs and spices, alone or added carefully with more ingredients but for a purpose, making a better place for anti-aging, lasting cell care.

My Cellular Junk

I have been a businessman, chef and restaurateur all my life, but always wanted to be an athlete. Regardless of 50 plus, two months ago I decided to head back and become competitive learning to ride dressage or jumping at various heights on horses. It takes stamina, attentiveness, being in good shape and a sensible attitude to always be prepared like a boy scout....or girl scout! Always.

Got a trainer, started to cross train: run, swim, pilates, bike and various tai chi stretching for the mind, a little each day. Loving the horse and the fun workouts! But as they say....no pain, no gain. And until I get up to speed and even staying there, after a month my body felt like a punching bag. So... of course....one has to head to the bar, see and laugh with ladies, roust his buddies and yuk it up to remember he is still human and have some social networking fun!

Meanwhile, training mindset returns to say, 'time to see this is hard work.' To do this you have to not only change what you eat, but your life, and a lot! Even get rid of some of your CELLULAR JUNK, the stuff left over in your body and cells from day to day living as time goes on regardless of how hard you try to eat well. We all have it. And it cloaks you inside and out! Young can do, but cellular junk has to go! I made a long term plan.

Vegetable Alchemy with its vegetables, herbs and spices again to the rescue. A bevy of enzymes, minerals and vitamins to help me degrade my 'cellular junk'...best part about it..yummy too! homemade curry with a veggies quick stirfry and mussels..hmmmmm, good! I can feel the scrubbies at work. Happy Vegetable Alchemy day!

Prediction: End of the ' Tug of War '

The year is 1962. I was ten! I pleaded with my Dad to work in the kitchen at one of our restaurants. He finally agreed. Off I went. The rest....fun history.

Salad station question to the cooks at 10 years old....'wow, what's behind here? (moving the refrigerator....)..YUK! does my Dad know all that's back there?' many heads turn, many heads say....' no, but let's just put it back and keep it a secret!' Ten year old response....' no way, he'll kill me if he knows I was working and did not clean...' end of story.....suddenly three cooks helped and we were a team on a mission.....

The year is 2011. Horoscope fun:

1) You have wisdom to impart. Whether it lands well is not your responsibility. You will do your best to show someone the way, but ultimately, every person must decide what is best for him or herself.

2) Throw procrastination out the door. Start the year off fresh by getting all the odds and ends tied up. Wipe your slate clean so you can focus on the exciting goals you set. Not everyone will be happy with your choices. 4 stars!

3) Great day for study, writing, editing, or proofing something. You won't overlook details. Your powers of concentration are excellent. This is a very good day to think about your future, the rest of the year, and what you're long-range expectations are. Lief has a curious way of fulfilling our expectations, have you noticed?

Well here we go. It's a Tug of War. Classical fresh food, plant based, but not plant only, made properly and honestly integrated into modern lifestyle has a positive effect on happy me. Classical recipes adapted to manufactured practices, processed and leaving me with no real nutritive digestible happy health are incorrect for the body.

Fun things happen at the molecular level and, like moving the refrigerator to clean, it is time to clean up the last decades of overly processed food and tie one on for fit, fresh food that integrates the recipes of Cell Cuisine http://www.vegetablealchemy.com/cellcuisine2011.html

Since 2011 horoscopes seem to be offering me wise thoughts, let's use them. I predict....

THE END

of

The Tug of War

self care is the future.

New Year, New You......

2011's a moment away. The last five years, I redefined what and how I ate. Though a year more, my mind and body seemed to restart a decade younger. Now tackling a whole new way of writing a recipe comes at a time when I am moving companies in the direction of more vegetable centric fare.

In 2010 some folks claimed me a 'tree hugger' putting vegetables, herbs and spice as center of my eating! I say 'Nuts to them! Awaken from your passe ways!' Who wouldn't want tasty, fun flavor chocked full of digestible energy in the center of a plate. Move over food pyramid. Get lost old time bad eating. Enter the year of the body.

2011 Vegetable Alchemy claims premium center stage. A thoughtful diagram below for your thoughts. Today, December 29, 2010. 2 days and counting.
