Simply Eat..to nourish the life in us....

24/3/2013

I started this blog with a post under the category Simply Eat (see here)

I'm not sure where to start reviewing Simply Eat.

In three years I've learnt a lot about food and made slow but important changes to the way I eat, influenced in part by David Servan Schreiber's Book Anti Cancer - A New Way of Life. He says we should eat foods which 'nourish the life in us'. Makes sense to me! See his video here.

EXTRA!EXTRA! five minutes of joy to set you up for the day. The well named Best Coin Ever Spent video (thank you Laura).

hi freda, my effort these days at simple eating is making a meal out of what is available in our home. some days the meals are very plain, if i haven't been to the shops....we do not need unlimited choices for every meal and it is nice to more deeply appreciate what we do have.

Plain food, savoured, is just wonderful.

I read Servan Schreiber's last book, summer last year, thought it very moving.(you don't have a category Simply Read, are there more 'hidden - simplicity- gems' to be found?) We have Anti Cancer on the shelf, I will take a look at it later. The video of Sabadell made me ridicuously happy.

It makes me ridiculously happy to hear you say so! It's funny I don't have a Simply Read catefory - hmm....

I have just found your lovely blog and been compelled to read back well into last December (I love robins and have one in my garden here in Switzerland each winter...)!
We're lucky that the Swiss still value seasonal food to a great extent and cooking from scratch is the logical consequence - convenience food isn't very popular here...

I'm looking forward to a browse in the Little Wash House Chronicles! It is good to know that cooking from scratch is still the norm in some places. We are feeding our robins every day in this bitter cold spell - are you?

No, we don't and are advised not to, in fact, though of course we do put out some bits and pieces now and again but not specifically if it's cold or snowy. There are still loads of berries on my indigenous virburnum, for instance, so I don't think they'll starve!

I took the time to watch the video of the musicians in a Spanish(?) square - an uplifting, joyous and lump in the throat 5 minutes. Wish I'd been there.

I was thinking how all the people who were there were probably on cloud nine for the rest of the day....so glad you liked it!
