Venus in Cancer
foods with venus in cancer
food recipe
while Taurus love foods for self-indulgence with gourmet,
maybe Cancer love foods in domestic manner.
Venus is a planet of art and harmony.
... here, with the picky Virgo traits.
I always have wanted to become a painter since when I was a little girl.
it never faded yet I never had the consisting moment to achieve my dream.
I was very easily side tracked by my curiosity from one thing to another.
when I came to the U.S., the first city was NYC.
I was a student and had to pay for school, rent and living expense.
I was poor. and doing art cost me extra
and also takes much time to be able to judge my own art from an objective view after the art is done.
I was not able to buy new materials so I got into junk art with whatever I had for a little while
but still had cost me extra.
in such time, my desire for art began to shift into cooking.
I must eat yet not much money to waste
so I looked into a refrigerator and tried to combine what was left for food,
for which I was trained by doing junk art to combine stuff in harmony.[*]
my creativity began to fit into art in food
and I was also able to be objective to judge my art in food right away
... if the food was tasty or not as I ate.
[*] ... you can tell the same about this website that I am not saying anything new,
I just combine what this world already have,
with my hope and prayers,
for the true potential for the true beauty of our world and ourselves.
at some point of my life I began to notice whatever I ate didn't taste right
and the frustration grew with the fact of unable to find foods I like when I went out.
and even began to feel or taste what was going on with the cook through the food.
if the cook was having a rough time or anger or etc,
... that even made me sick.
in the time as I worked at a restaurant I began to realize how the food delivered to the table.
those produce came by delivery people.
they just dumped the boxes of produce on a floor with no care
and even kicking the boxes in order to push the boxes further where they needed to be reached.
those farm animals were fed weird stuff to grow bigger and faster without sunshine,
vegetables grow in chemical and seafood grow in pollution ?
... and being delivered roughly,
then cooks cook foods
just because it is their job adding and cooking the ingredient as the restaurant manuals said.
( and thankfully, there of course are still those restaurants with passions exist. )
but food without love is just the stuff to fill our stomach not our soul or heart.
it is very true that with or without love makes the big difference.
even just slicing Tofu,
you will taste the difference.
didn't the peanuts handed to you from your mother's hand taste better than other people's somehow ?
... please prepare anything with LOVE,
especially,
things go into our bodies.
and our hands are a very primary tool to deliver our thoughts and feelings.
cooking is so sensual.
the colors and smell call you to them,
you touch the textures so gently.
the sounds of slicing, branching, leafing, mixing, kneading, stirring interconnect with your inner self.
when cooking, we use our eyes to look,
our ears to hear the sound that shifts when it is ready,
and our noses to make sure if it smells good,
... and lick it and taste it on our tongues,
and feel the textures of the food with our teeth and our throats
... in fact, living itself is, indeed, sensual.
the body is the tongue to taste the sensual planet Earth
... enjoy the sensations Earth abundantly provides us while we last.

- unrefined salt
for soup, I use the salt water instead of fine coarse of salt.
put two to four table spoons of coarse of salt or a rock of salt into jar covered with filtered water.
do not dissolve the salt completely with too much water.
use the salt water as needed and fill the jar with filtered water for next use
or fill salt if it is dissolved as you don't see any salt in the water.
it feels milder when using salt water for making soup and cooking.

- unrefined salt
for soup, I use the salt water instead of fine coarse of salt.
put two to four table spoons of coarse of salt or a rock of salt into jar covered with filtered water.
do not dissolve the salt completely with too much water.
use the salt water as needed and fill the jar with filtered water for next use
or fill salt if it is dissolved as you don't see any salt in the water.
it feels milder when using salt water for making soup and cooking.
