Heart & Mind Foods

[awarenessthrueating]

After posting on some topics I find meaningful and interesting on my Awareness through Eating page yesterday, I was inspired to write and create an audio companion on some of the points I brought up on the food items I shared news on. Only this was from the perspective of social conditioning I experienced in the local food chain that impacted local business and food availability. This perspective is from the viewpoint of a background as a Food and Beverage Manager and Banquet Manager for some local Canadian Hotel Chains, and a partner in an organic wholesale food company. This post brings my current career focus of human conditioned behaviour into focus as the lens I am looking through for this post. https://youtu.be/ZdDBgf2bRro?si=q2ht-E33xakFnOGg.

I did an experiment on Sunday with two sourdoughs, one is being fed with liquid whey from kefir and the other with water. I posted about their differences in the process of making loaves on Facebook @ Awareness through Eating. Check it out at https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17SV4KqiUC/

These are Kamut Grains. I paid $11.00 for this package which is less than for one I was eventually able to find locally that was 1/4 of the

Here is another item that has been hard to find, and when found, the cost is too high to make sense - https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cvhw8TBiN/.

Packages of cloves do not seem to be on market shelves right now. The bottled spices are scarce as well. When there is one it is over $9.0

I posted this photo on my Facebook page describing trying to find whole cloves yesterday, and where I found them and how it turned out to be the most economical. I have begun to share these insights on this page https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17hroLrRfJ/. Another post was on a whole grain I love that is not hard to find locally. It is Kamut. If I do find it, the price is too high for it to make sense purchasing it. If these informational tidbits interest you, check out the Facebook page, Awaeness through Eating, and like or follow. ,

One of the products that I noticed the price of in the grocery store venture last weekend is Kefir. A pint of it was just under $13.00. After making my first kefir culture, I noticed the price on it was $5.00. That was in 2018/19. I buy two litres of milk a week, that went up in price to $6.00. It makes three to five batches of Kefir, depending on the amount I make. I have a culture going out on Monday, to a student, that will reduce the amount I am making and increase the length of time between buying milk. This jug has over two of the pints on sale at the grocery store. which is over $26.00!

Creativity falls into the Future Life area of the lifestyle learning topics I use as a template. Here in this little video, it may appear to be about sourdough bread, and yes, that is the focus of attention, yet there is a deeper message being shared that demonstrates the interactive nature of integration. In this example, thinking, spoken word, somatic senses, inner sensations and unconscious habits and more...... It's a perfect demonstration of the interactive relationships I explore with people through learning in the programs @ insideawarenesscenterforintegrativesomticlearning. Enjoy this little clip.

Put a sourdough focaccia mixture together last night to rest and rise for bread this morning. It turned out nicely. Add kefir cheese to it as well that supported the toppings. This was a great first sourdough focaccia experience!

have decided to test our focaccia bread using sourdough starter in the bread recipe. Not only will it be sourdough, kefir will be added. Kefir with the whey liquid separated so it is more like chunky cheese. The dough will be mixed tonight and left to rise to bake tomorrow. I am pretty excited to explore if this will work or not. Trying to find ways to integrate the sourdough and kefir due to the continuous supply of it culturing. OMG! The probiotics in the kefir will be lost however the calcium and B Vit will still be there nutritionally. The brain needs B Vitamins, fyi.
