I admit it. I suck at coming up with meditations and devotionals. I have to think too hard about rhymes if I want it to rhyme. I know things don't have to, but it does sound nicer if they do. Because I stink at such things, my cookbook isn't really going to include a lot of those things. If you really want a book that has a lot of rituals, meditations, etc., I recommend Witch in the Kitchen by Cait Johnson. A lot of the recipes sound good too.
I tested a soup recipe for the cookbook today and it turned out to be pretty tasty. I have lots of ideas that need to be tried out, but I just can't eat it all.
I am still trying to meet Pagans in this area, but everyone is so effing apathetic. I told my friend Bjorn today that I think I might hate other Pagans. LOL! That's not true, of course, but I get aggravated at the apathy, the unwillingness to freaking communicate! Come ON, people! Even if you're a solitary practitioner, it might be nice to meet people with whom to share information, or at least get some of the FREE FOOD I'm offering. Geez.
Another thing I suck at is coming up with cutesy names for shit, so I'm simply going to organize my recipes by season or Sabbat. There will be no adorably-named "Cakes and Ale" sections or anything like that. Nope, I'm just concentrating on honoring the wheel of the year with seasonal meals arranged by category within each season.
Damn I have a lot of work to do. Again, any recipe testers out there? Any proofreaders?
I'm celebrating my weekend with Chinese food and true ghost stories on Bio. Tomorrow I am going to work on something with bok choy. I have a lot of soup recipes and a few other tricks up my sleeve. I really need to get crackin'. So when the heck does my motivation return from Tahiti? And what will it bring me?
I'm sorry you haven't been able to find some friendly fellow Pagans in your area! I think that it's one of the most difficult & frustrating aspects of Paganism, simply due to it being non-centralized. Keep looking! Don't give up! They're out there somewhere! =D
ReplyDeletePlease don't come up with cutesy names... Call the damn food what it is! lolz... XD
I'm excited that your cookbook is following the Wheel & is centered around cooking seasonally! I think it's a supremely awesome idea. ^-^
I will gladly be a recipe tester & proof reader! Let me know if you're still interested/in need of either of these & I'll send you my email. I promise I'll even check my email... @_@
Hope you have an awesome rest of your weekend!
xoxo
I would love to have you as a recipe tester! Please send me your e-mail on Facebook. You can try out the acorn squash soup I made yesterday. It's really simple and turned out to be rather tasty. You are welcome to tweak recipes if you need to, and tell me what you do differently so I can try it out!
ReplyDeletelmao! I'm so glad I clicked on this! You just made my day. I think you'll find, once you get going with this, that everything falls into place in it's own divine time. I'm gifted with rhyming BUT its only because I don't TRY or force myself to do it. That is what's blocking you. Relax:) JUST breathe, and what you need will come;) It's easier said than done (I know)but practice. I also want to add that none of this makes you a bad KW! A bad kitchen witch poisons ppl! Your recipes look SAFE for ingestion to me.
