FOUND IT!

This week has been crazy - so far, but I found the way! The way to balance...nothing new...but I'm excited because it's like falling back in love. I've been cooking....old fashioned cooking - simmering, slow cooking, roasting, chopping, churning...

In fact, I don't want to be on the computer. I need some more time - seasoning and disconnecting...

AUUUUUGGHHHHH....although I am not using a morteradn pestle - I feel so relaxed - reminds me of what I recently heard on NPR:

"It's really about being really engaged in the process as it's happening. And mortars and pestles are a perfect symbol of that," Roberts says. "Because for a home cook who's in a rush, it's like the last thing you'd want to use — it takes much longer. But that's not the point." The point, Roberts says, is to see cooking not just as something to get through, so that you can put your feet up and relax when you're done. It's about actually relaxing and enjoying the process of cooking itself. "Using a mortar and pestle for me is the equivalent of doing yoga or going to a spa," he jokes. For Roberts, the mortar and pestle is an age-old way to really connect to your food — to get out of your head, and into your body. And to turn out better salsas, pestos and curries while you're doing it. [Copyright 2012 National Public Radio]
