It’s that harvest time of year. Simple, lo-cal treats can be found by grilling or broiling many fruits and vegetables that come our way. You can cook them on the\u00a0grill or broil them in the oven. I put mine, sliced, on top of some tinfoil in a pie plate, since they get\u00a0juicy.<\/p>\n
Grilled\/Broiled\u00a0Tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n Plum tomatoes are especially good, but you can use any. Just slice the tomatoes thinly, spread on the tin foil which has been sprayed with a little canola oil (you can skip this if sticking is not a problem), and sprinkle with a little good Parmesan cheese. Got any fresh or dried favorite herbs (parsley, oregano, summer savory, etc.)? Sprinkle some of those on, too. Place over\u00a0medium coals or indirect heat of center burner\u00a0turned off, outside burners on medium high in a gas grill. 10 minutes or so, until the cheese is lightly browned.<\/p>\n Prepare\u00a0the same but place about four inches down under the broiler on High in the oven and watch closely.<\/p>\n Grilled\/Broiled Plums, Peaches, Nectarines<\/strong><\/p>\n Proceed just the same! A little herbs and parmesan make these fruits into a savory treat. For\u00a0 a sweet dessert, grill or broil until browning and carmelizing, then remove from heat and douse with a little amaretto or other liquor or a little light whipped cream.<\/p>\n Intuitive Eating<\/strong><\/p>\n Intuitive Eating is a movement toward learning to pay attention to your own inner signals as to what you want to eat and when you want to eat and how much you want to eat. Google “Intuitive Eating” and you’ll find references to the book of the same name and to online support groups.<\/p>\n Our Intuitive Focusing self-help skill provides a way into this intuitive, bodily-knowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n The broader purpose of Creative Edge Focusing (TM) is teaching two simple self-help skills, Intuitive Focusing and Focused Listening, which, like reading and writing, can be integrated into every aspect of work and home life as a kind of “human literacy.” Our website at www.cefocusing.com<\/a> gives explanations and instructions, free\u00a0articles, e-newsletter, e-course of practice exercises, and a free yahoo e-support group for actual practice of Focusing and Listening.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Listening and Focusing are a way to find our own gems inside\u00a0the places that we experience as\u00a0“stuck” and “limited” \u00a0and to find these gems in others, valuing our intuitions, \u201cgut feelings,\u201d stuckness and depression, negative feelings like jealousy, anger, our creative and spiritual \u201cinklings\u201d and ideas, our co-workers, family, friends, even when they irritate us.<\/p>\n INVITE OTHERS TO JOIN US!!!
