My start with Macrrobiotics

For starters I feel terrible my blogs been dead. But here I am....the story continues....my mom and me did all we could in terms what we had learnt for my day. But the one thing (which now I can safely say in retrospect) you must know if you are starting a Macrobiotic diet- is to keep in mind that it just has to be made interesting. Specially if you are coooking for someone who is ill. My dad was atrue North Indian - very fussy on tastes - I was not living with my foks, so could not cook for him. Plus I was not as well trained as I am today (I could have save him, had I cooked for him the way I do today), so he gave up in 3 months. Poor guy started cheating and said he wanted to die eating. And he did, till the very end - he went back to junk food with a vengeance. My dad passed away in 2001. But, left with me the start of this wonderful life with Macrobiotics. I went back to meet Mona Schawrtz - studied some more, read her lovely books, just hung around her and was inspired - I knew this was my true calling in life. Of course I had no clue how it was going to unfold. Here I was ready to start a divorce battle, working in a market research company, climbing up the corporate ladder. Though I had no clue where this ladder was taking me. I knew I was good at my job, but it was not something I woud do for the rest of my life.
