Soups

pg. 4 chapter 1: "Some soups freeze well, but others lose much of their flavor and texture.  Thick winter bean and grain soups do well, as do broths and stocks.  Freezing often changes the texture of smooth puree, making it more watery.  Avoid freezing soups containing raw ingredients, as in certain chilled soups."

Limeys of the C

pg. 138 chapter 4: "Vitamin C is known as ascorbic acid to the scientific community and is famous for its role in preventing scurvy, whose characteristic bleeding gums, swollen joints, and muscle weakness were described as far back as the days of the Egyptians.  Its cure - found in 1747 by Scottish surgeon James Lind - by supplementing the diet of the British Navy with vitamin C-rich limes, earned the British seamen the nickname "limeys".  Now its more known for its role as an anti-oxidant and is taken by 35 percent of the U.S, population as a dietary supplement."

Colonel Disney

pg. 38 chapter 2: "I cannot pass by an event which caused some scandal at the time.  The Duke of Cumberland, on his visits to Windsor, was generally accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Colonel Disney.  One day, on the occasion of the Duke's recovery from the wounds received in resisting the murderous attack of his valet, HRH arrived at the Castle to pay his respects to his Royal parents, when, finding that the Queen was walking on the terrace, he hastened to join her Majesty, desiring Colonel Disney to remain in waiting.  The Colonel, who was a hare-brained, half-cracked sort of fellow, finding waiting rather irksome, commenced making a tour through the apartments, and in his peregrinations entered her Majesty's bed-chamber, which was rightly held to be sacred ground.  Curiosity led him to inspect the various toilet articles of the Queen, and still further to examine a golden vase, which he put to a use that cannot be named to ears polite.  This breach of good manners was detected by the royal housekeeper, who, with tears in her eyes, reported to Duke of Cumberland the gross impropriety.  His Royal Highness, a proud overbearing man, sought out Disney, and attempted to inflict summary chastisment for the insult he had perpetrated; however, the Colonel evaded the punishment so richly deserved, but he was almost immediately placed on the shelf, and died at his lodgings, in Bury Street, St. James's, heart-broken, on the second anniversay of his thoughtless freak."

Be In Yourself

pg. 14 chapter 1: "People are like teabags.  You find out how strong they are when you put them in hot water. - Anonymous."

pg. 20 chapter 1: "The challenge of every Warrior and leader is the right use of power.  Native peoples of the American continents use the words power and medicine synonymously.  If we fully express who we are, we are said to be "full of power" and "expressing our medicine"."

pg. 21 chapter 1: "Many indigenous societies believe that we all possess "orginal medicine"- personal power, duplicated nowhere else on the planet.  No two individuals carry the same combination of talents or challenges; therefore, when we compare ourselves to others, native peoples see this as a sign that we do not believe that we have original medicine."

pg. 26 chapter 1: "Contemporary terms for soul loss include "depression," "disheartenment," and "dispiritedness.""

pg. 58 chapter 2: "The lying posture assumed in the journey is a way of placing the body in its own "spirit canoe" in order to open to guidance and receive healing."

pg. 59 chapter 2: "According to Brugh Joy, M.D., it takes approximately 13 billion brain cells to  fire off one image or memory.  It is important to pay attention to why a particular memory, association, or dream image is revealed at this time."

pg. 60 chapter 2: "Journeys are seen as teaching tools that provide healing, teaching, and visions.  The journey may not include any of the experiences anticipated by the ego and its agenda, but the journey will always reveal the actual spiritual work desired within the individual inherent psychomythology.  Consequently its important to trust the psyche's wisdom and simply observe what is revealed during the journey, not to direct or control the process.  Shamanic traditions hold that if nothing occurs within the journey, this is a time of waiting and integration rather than a time of taking action, or, taken literally, this is a time to do nothing."

Intentional Harmony

pg. 124 chapter 5: "Every intentional repetition of a task imparts a musicality to the time in which it takes to complete, charging the elapsed time with the quality of the intention itself.  This is how housework can become a musical activity.  As we intentionally clean and tidy up the space, qualities of order, convenience, clarity, and simplicity flow from our intentions, changing the quality of the time spent by everyone who enters the space.  In this way mindfulness and musicianship are one and the same.  Work reveals the qualities of our intentions just as the drawing of the bow over the strings reveals the tones within the violin."

pg. 125 chapter 5: "Chore" comes from a word referring to a piece of wood turning on a lathe."

Jack Talbot

pg. 19,20 chapter 1: "Poor Jack Talbot, after leaving Eton, entered the Coldstream Guards, and accompanied his regiment to Spain, where he evinced great courage, and was foremost in every fight.  Though he possessed many imperfections, he was the manliest and and kindest of human beings, and was the idol of the women; and their champion, also, for he was one of the few men who would never hear improper epithets applied to them under any circumstances, or allow their failings to be criticised by those who were in all probability the cause of them.  There was a charm in Talbot's conversation that I never found in that of any other man; his brave good heart, and love of punch, made him an agreeable companion, and many friends.  When in his cups, or rather bowls, he would talk facetiously about his rich father in Ireland, Lord Malahide, spending that nobleman's money all the time.  He was foolishly generous.  I have often seen him, at a club or in a coffee-house, pay for the whole of his friends present; and his liberality to women of all classes was profuse.  He used to say, 'I would rather disoblige my father or my best friend than a pretty woman.'

    Whether in Guards' Club or at private assemblies, you were always sure to find Jack surrounded by a circle of friends, amused with his witty conversation and charmed with his good-humour.  He had always a smile on his face; in fact, everybody acknowledged him as their friend.

    During his last illness, [Lord] Alvanley asked the doctor of the regiment what he thought of it.  The doctor replied, 'My Lord, he is in a bad way, for I was obliged to make use of the lancet this morning.'  'You should have tapped him, doctor,'  said Lord Alvanley; 'for I am sure he has more claret than blood in his veins.'  The late Duke of Beaufort one day called upon him at his lodgings in Mount Street, and found him drinking sherry at breakfast: the Duke remonstrated with him, saying.  'It will be the death of you.'  Talbot replied, 'I get drunk every night, and find myself the better for it the next morning.' Talbot was a great favourite of the late Duke of Cambridge, who frequently called to inquire after his health.  Upon one occasion, the Captain's servant, in answer to the Duke's interrogations, told his Royal Highness that his master did not want to see either doctor or parson, but only wished to be left to die in peace.  The Duke, with sad forebodings, sent Dr. Keate to see him;  the doctor, on his arrival, found Talbot seated in his armchair dead, with a bottle of sherry half-empty on the table beside him.  He was only twenty-seven."

pg. 19,20 chapter 1: "Poor Jack Talbot, after leaving Eton, entered the Coldstream Guards, and accompanied his regiment to Spain, where he evinced great courage, and was foremost in every fight.  Though he possessed many imperfections, he was the manliest and and kindest of human beings, and was the idol of the women; and their champion, also, for he was one of the few men who would never hear improper epithets applied to them under any circumstances, or allow their failings to be criticised by those who were in all probability the cause of them.  There was a charm in Talbot's conversation that I never found in that of any other man; his brave good heart, and love of punch, made him an agreeable companion, and many friends.  When in his cups, or rather bowls, he would talk facetiously about his rich father in Ireland, Lord Malahide, spending that nobleman's money all the time.  He was foolishly generous.  I have often seen him, at a club or in a coffee-house, pay for the whole of his friends present; and his liberality to women of all classes was profuse.  He used to say, 'I would rather disoblige my father or my best friend than a pretty woman.'

    Whether in Guards' Club or at private assemblies, you were always sure to find Jack surrounded by a circle of friends, amused with his witty conversation and charmed with his good-humour.  He had always a smile on his face; in fact, everybody acknowledged him as their friend.

    During his last illness, [Lord] Alvanley asked the doctor of the regiment what he thought of it.  The doctor replied, 'My Lord, he is in a bad way, for I was obliged to make use of the lancet this morning.'  'You should have tapped him, doctor,'  said Lord Alvanley; 'for I am sure he has more claret than blood in his veins.'  The late Duke of Beaufort one day called upon him at his lodgings in Mount Street, and found him drinking sherry at breakfast: the Duke remonstrated with him, saying.  'It will be the death of you.'  Talbot replied, 'I get drunk every night, and find myself the better for it the next morning.'
