Thank goodness for Warren.
No, he’s not perfect, but he is the best resource I know on this Earth, for understanding, relieving, and preventing suffering due to poor diet and lifestyle habits.
Have you ever been to Warren for a consult? He is gentle, warm, generous, and absolutely brilliant. Greater Boston (and several other cities around the U.S.) are extremely lucky to have him around.

Happy Passover and Easter to all.
Now that Spring is here, it’s time to clean out the living space, for health and feng shui, and clear out the stagnant energy from our bodies. That means less eating, more movement, and more upward growing foods like scallions, kale and sprouts.
We can also lay off the pressure cooked short grain brown rice, and have a bit more fruit, if we are healthy.

It’s now 2012, Friday will begin the year of the Dragon. A big year according to Michio.
What will happen? Those people who are pessimistic may not want to spend more for offerings that are organic, or from the heart, as they feel there is little they can do to prevent “The end of the world.” Perhaps they are right to feel that way.
But that is precisely what got us into this mess. In my view, now is the perfect time to change to a more sustainable way of living. Not only could it result in the non-event we are hoping for later this year, but it could also bring us together to end or at least greatly reduce human and animal suffering on this planet.

Happy new year!!
What a year 2011 has been. So much change. 2012 will certainly bring more change.
What helps you maintain your life in a time of great change? For me, it’s good eating and lifestyle habits. Macrobiotics is a big part of these.
We ought to be grateful for our lives, and this beautiful planet.
I’ve lived in Boston most of my life. We are blessed here with great weather, and a diverse set of economic, cultural and natural choices.
This year, the weather has been remarkably nice, if occasionally unpredictable and stormy. However, Winter will soon be here, and it will be cold and probably snowy, even though the lack of acorns cast some doubt.
The question is, whether to be here, and push myself to be outside often, and cook lots of great macro food, or whether to jump down to Miami, Austin, or even Costa Rica.
As of now, it looks like I’ll be here. As such, I’m happy to serve you on your quest to stay well fed and get to the airport. Tomorrow (Friday, Dec. 2) I’ll be cooking lunch and Sweet Vegetable Drink, and I am happy to deliver some to you (see the page on Meal Delivery).
I also drive Warren, Stanley, Bobbi, Rhoda, Howie and others to the Airport. Let me know if you need a ride.
All my best to you for December…

Happy Autumn!
Having a great life is not easy for everyone these days. There is a lot of suffering on this planet, by people and animals. It is easy to see why Buddhism teaches that life is suffering.
But nature is here to help us. When we eat more naturally, we turn on the healing, and give our senses more to work with. And when we live more naturally, we heal the planet and remind ourselves what we have to be thankful for.
No need to wait until the end of November to be grateful for your life. Enjoy and be thankful for everyone and everything you have today, while it’s still with you.
Best wishes to all!!
Thursday through Sunday my son and I will go on the Boys to Men Right of Passage Weekend, or ROPAW, in Vermont.
My understanding is there a handful of boys (of the 25 registered) who are vegetarian or vegan, and I am fortunate enough to be a part of the kitchen crew.
The original plan was to serve vegetarians cheese, and TVP (soy nuggets or bits), if hamburgers, hot dogs, chili and eggs were not of interest.
I am now helping to provide Brown Rice, Tofu, Tempeh, Mushrooms, Lentils, Sea Vegetables and more fresh green produce.
I am confident this will be a welcome addition to the meals, and I look forward to our trip.
If you are traveling in August, please pick up a copy of the 2011 International Macrobiotic Directory. When you order, you get a free electronic version the same day!
Like you, I enjoyed some fun foods over the weekend, including chocolate, fruit, and bread. But Monday morning, and the start of a new month, helps motivate me to do better for my body.
Today’s breakfast was hot cereal with oat groats, carrots and onion, cooked with sea salt, and sautéed kale stems and leaves, radish and scallions, with sesame oil and shoyu. Very beautiful, satisfying, and health-building.
At 10am I will enjoy a cup of hot Sweet Vegetable Tea, then lunch of brown rice, steamed pole beans, leftover white beans, and a pickle.
When I feel good, it’s easier for me to do good.
Six months ago we had fierce winter conditions, and a bowl of hot soup could bring us back. Now, the sun is beating down on us, and a fresh organic blueberry has the same effect.
The seasons are so amazing, especially here in the Northeast. But wherever you go, nature is there to support you. Please use what you know about nature, and yourself to take care of your body, mind and spirit.
Macropedia, and the 2011 Int’l Macrobiotic Directory are here for you. Enjoy.
