Here's a Feng Shui advice to all

From Ellen Whitehurst:

I just love this autumn time of year almost more than any other. I love the crisp, cool mornings filled with the scents and smells of fall. I love the evenings as darkness descends just a bit earlier every day. And I love all the beautiful seasonal fruits and vegetables that are available for the dedicated cook like myself.
Whenever I start to think about tinkering in the kitchen I remember some cautionary advice a sage Shui master once told me. He said that it was considered taboo in almost every Eastern or Oriental tradition as banging or hitting utensils on the side of the pan while cooking changes the extraordinary energy of the food. He also warned that you should never utter swear or curse words, or argue or cry while cooking, as that will infuse the cuisine with sad, churlish and negative energies. He offered that when cooking, you should stand and be grateful to the food for the gift of nourishment it brings while also remembering the power that food holds and so gra! ciously gives over to us. He told me to pray over each meal, not only thanking my Higher Power, but also thanking the spirit of the food itself. I thought this such a beautiful teaching, and aside from a few sailor-like slips of cursing, I've embraced these slightly different sorts of cooking techniques ever since! Yum!
