The middle day of our conference is usually a much lighter day. In this case, the morning was spent at Holland College, particularly with one of their faculty from the Culinary Institute of Canada.
One of the truths about clergy who live on their own (and most of us do) is that very few of us pay attention to nutrition requirements when we're on the run. Today's session was about demonstrating (through an observation session) that it's not difficult to put together meals that are nutritious. What's important is that we pay attention to ingredients, and that we are purposeful about planning for good nutrition.
The cooking part is easy. All it takes is a bit of imagination combined with a willingness to be patient with the cooking process. Learning these lessons comes easier to some than to others, but today's sesson definitely demonstrated that it's possible for everyone to do some simple things that will make life a whole lot easier. If nothing else, it also planted the seed within some of us to check out the programs that might be available in our local areas, even just for interest sake.
The continuing education experts tell us that taking time for outside interests actually improves our chances for safeguarding if not furthering our own development. One step at a time, it's possible.
