      Cooking ia absolute baller only when you cook at home.
      Work wise, depends on how frequented the Restaurant is you're working in.
      If you don't have to stress it, it's baller.
      If the Restaurant is full, it can turn into Hunger Games: Kitchen Version pretty fast.
      But that's also up to how well your crew works together.

    This episode brought me to tears.
    It reminded me of my time WOOFing on the Big Island in Hawaii a few years ago and the many lessons I've learned. WOOFing is when you volunteer and work on a farm in exchange for food and shelter. The Hawaiian people's reverence for the Aina and the deep spiritual and ancestral connection they have with the earth is a powerful reminder of who we are and what we should do. Aina translates to "land, soil, dirt," but it also means, "that which feeds," and it is an intrinsic part of Hawaiian culture.
    I love love love this episode so much. In these trying times where politicians are denying climate change and everything seems hopeless, when all we can focus on is the negativity and the many ways in which we are depleting Mother Earth of her magnificence and abundance, this video brought me to tears because it's exactly what we need to see. People restoring the connection between us and the earth. It reminded me of what I need to do. They said it said well in the video, "it's not about what happened, but what you're going to do about it. It's about how you're going to create change."
    With my utmost gratitude, mahalo.

Working hard to just live, that is how we got this far in the first place.

      Midlife crisis? Having a meltdown under pressure does not fit the definition of a midlife crisis. She's also far too young for a midlife crisis... I don't know how old she is but I'm thinking early 30s.

I thank you for not shying away from showing the effects, both positive and negative, that invasive species, industrialization, and the legacy of colonialism have had on what we eat, how we produce and eat it, and the significance food has in our lives. It's really, truly beautiful. xxx
