I'm taking a bit of time off from new animal communcation sessions for others, in order to
a) work with my dog on her bad hip, using energy tapping techniques
b) study up on energy and animal communication techniques.
One of the exciting things about the field of animal communication is that it is unlimited. The more you know, the more you know the less you know. So there is always something to discover and detect that makes the work finer.
I also want to investigate the different energy levels of different animals and plants. For example, some trees can be reached on an individual one-to-one communcation, and some plants connect up via a "group" conciousness. Dogs and cats speak individually. Is this because they are domesticated and need this skill to stay alive with us? Have they learned this as a survival skill?
Another book on my bedside table is The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan. Even when we think we are eating with respect to the world, where are we blinded?

The Farmers Market Cooking Challenge
One of the reasons I am out in Los Angeles this summer is because of the colorful Farmer's Market on Third Street Promenade every Wednesday morning. REAL food.
Another indirect reason is because Top Chef just started a new season Wednesday night at 10 pm. Watching this show makes me so hungry. By the time the final dishes are shown or like Pavlov at 10:45 pm, I want to add 3500 calories to my intake and then sleep on it, dreaming of a full-time chef at my beck and call, my beans and cauliflower.
So I devised...a WEEKLY Farmers Market Challenge!
I run to the Farmer's Market on Third Street Promenade 2 blocks away from the Pacific Ocean with either ideas in mind or to be inspired by what's there, have my 20$ bill in my sweaty fist like a five year old, spend til there is no change left, and get on the Number 3 bus to arrive home, just in time to sit down at my at-home computer job, by 1 pm. After work is over, I have ONE HOUR to prepare my dishes (in order to accomplish it in Top Chef Real Time).
Whatever happens gets plated, and eaten up in front of the latest episode of Top Chef.
A Plate, a Glass of Wine, TV commentary, Food Discussion on preparation, politics, sustainability, creativity as offered up to an enthusiastic, high aesthetics but learning-as-we-go chef. Notice small caps.
