| "To spend
time with Carra means having a book recommended to you" -- Pete
Okay, I resemble that statement.
I once heard a statement that you are the same person you will be in
10 years except for the people you meet and the books you read. I
love to read - especially books that challenge me. I rarely
read fiction -but I'm always reading something. |

When I'm not reading (or suggesting
something for you to read), I love to cook. Not everyday
cooking - I enjoy doing things in spurts. When I found about
OMAC (Once a Month Cooking), I thought it was really cool.
With Pete on Gracie duty (sometimes chopping veggies, too) I cook
meals for an entire month all in a couple of days. It involves
planning (which I enjoy), strategy (which I enjoy) and a sense of
completion (one of my favorite things).
In conjunction with cooking, I am
generally interested in wacky healthy stuff. This is somewhat
Pete's fault, but I read a few books (of course) and am trying to
move in small steps to a more natural lifestyle. What does
that mean exactly? For the most part, we follow an Old
Testament diet (not kosher, but baseline OT). We rarely eat
pork, try to limit sweets (not too good on this one) and get to
drink raw milk! We have to import the milk in from SC because NC has
made laws limiting its availability. Our primary resource for this
path has been the Rex Russell book listed above. Check it out.
And if you want to hear more or ask questions drop me an email (carra#uscm.org
- replace # with the @ symbol; it helps curb the auto search
spammers out there).
