Please Remove Shoes & Negative Attitudes

October 7, 2014 Paula Youmell, RN
neg att door sign.JPG

I painted this door sign years ago. I have glued and removed it from a couple of front doors. I was inspired to create it because of a bumper sticker: "Mean People Suck." I also related that sentiment to negative people and their energy.

This past Saturday I watched the documentary film Symphony of the Soil. I was reminded of the beautiful method of how soil rebuilds itself when we care for it in natural ways, recreating nature's gardening methods.

Another message that was clear to me: how farming with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides is much like fraternizing with negative people - soil / soul sucking!

These chemical means of farming literally suck the life out of the soil. Chemicals slowly and insidiously kill off the soil microbes, fungi, earth worms, and various other life forms that are essential to healthy soil and life on this planet. Chemically farmed soil becomes dry, pale, lifeless, and infertile. Food grown in this soil is nutrient deficient like the very soil it was grown in. 

Negative people and negative energy (i.e. watching, listening, or reading the news) do the same to us. These things slowly and insidiously suck the life from our body, mind, and soul. Negative energy in our life is a real force that leeches the nutrients from our every body cell just as chemical farming leeches nutrients from the soil.

Chemical farming is a stress to the soil, to all biological life, and to this planet.  (All are one and the same.)

Negative people and negative energy stress our physical body, our emotional/mental being, and our soul. Negative energy activates the stress response. This response eats up nutrients from our body cells. This is one reason why stressed people get sickly looking (pale like the stressed soil), age faster, and contract more acute illnesses (colds, the flu, etc.) and go on to develop more chronic lifestyle diseases than relaxed, peaceful people.

Whole food RECIPE:  Tourlou Greek Mix-Mix (made with local ingredients!)

This is positively delicious!

  • 5-6 medium ripe tomatoes (Richard Paolillo's & Vanessa Bittner's Old Market Farm)
  • 1 medium eggplant (Kent Family Growers)
  • 2 medium red potatoes (Keim Amish Farmer)
  • 1 large red pepper (Keim)
  • 1 large red onion (Birdsfoot Farm)
  • 4-5 good size cloves of garlic (Birdsfoot Farm)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (I used 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup of Kriemhild Dairy's pasture raised butter)
  • dash of nutmeg and thyme, I am a heavy handed dasher! I would say a good full tsp. of thyme and slightly less than a tsp. of nutmeg
  • unrefined sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste after cooking
The finished Tourlou, Mix-Mix, with chickpeas. 

The finished Tourlou, Mix-Mix, with chickpeas. 

  1. Cut veggies into bite size chunks and mix together well (except garlic)
  2. Spread out in the bottom of two 8 x 13 baking pans
  3. add oil, butter, bay leaves, nutmeg, and thyme and mix together
  4. Bake at 350 F for 1 hour, set timer for every 20 minutes and mix-mix away adding water to not "fry" the veggies! This makes for a juicy creamy mix-mix!
  5. If veggies not tender enough after 1 hour, give them a few minutes more
  6. When finished cooking add the garlic via garlic pressing into the mix of veggies
  7. Serve and add salt / pepper to taste
  8. Serve with chick peas added to the mix or chunks of chicken
  9. A side of whole grain pita bread, warm of course, is nice
  10. Perhaps a 'lil Greek goat's milk feta too!

Hints:

  • This dish can be eaten hot or cooled. Traditional Greek serving is when cooled allowing the flavors to meld. 
  • I have used zucchini, yellow squash, buttercup & butternut squash, sweet potatoes... The eggplant, tomatoes, and onion are required... after that, add veggies to your delight. The more you make, meaning the fuller the baking dishes are, use more tomatoes to add to the creamy goodness.
  • Another serving suggestion: To get a raw veggie salad in with this yummy dish serve with a Fall cabbage-root veggie slaw OR  sauerkraut.

Enjoy!
