A MOMMA & A LAMA: Cooking with Lama Tenzin, A monk’s meal that heals.
January 12, 2012
Our dear family friend Lama Tenzin came to town, house guest #38. With him a lesson in the kitchen fo’Mee.

In Tibet and India it is concidered a blessing to eat the foods of the monks. Sick folks travel to the monasteries to eat a meal prepared by the monks – believeing that a blessing or healing will occur. Lama Tenzin is a wonderful cook and he runs an orphange, 21 girls all rescued from Upper Dolpo – he makes the walk taking 28 days round trip to the highest city in the world. There he face Mao rebels and freezing cold climates. There are almost no veggies up there and only the rich have rice to eat.
Here’s what he made for us!
Basmati Rice
- 2 cups of rinsed Basmati rice
- Add 4 cups of water place in rice maker or stove top pot.
- Add a pinch of salt towards the end.
Steam Veggies:
- Wash all of the veggies first!
- Place Asparagus and any type of mushrooms in steamer
- Steam until slightly soft, but not for too long
- Steam red pepper, carrots, snap peas, brocolli, yellow squash, zuchinni - break into two groups.
Red potatoes -
- Remove eyes and dark spots
- Steam red potatoes until soft
- Once potatoes are done and cover in blend of crushed garlic and green curry paste – Lama Tenzin mixed these two items together to create a paste, the green curry was not spicy and can be found in the Asian food section or any International Market. The Lama used about 2 tablespoons of paste for the potatoes. The rest was saved for the veggies.
Then Lama Tenzin rinsed and steamed two blocks of Organic firm tofu. Once steamed for 10 minutes, he chopped the tofu into small little pieces. He heated safflower oil – about 2 cups – in a wok then placed the tofu into the oil, making crispy tofu!
Once the tofu was done, the Lama opened two cans of garbonzo beans. Look for Eden’s Organic Garbanzo beans - this company is organic and soaks their beans with Kombu seaweed. Be sure to rinse and wash them well. He heated the beans in a skillet and then mixed the Tofu into the beans.
Once the veggies are steamed he poured out the majority of the oil and then added a chopped half moon size of red onions and two chopped tomoatoes to a bit of the leftover oil. Once they were cooked down he added the remainding garlic curry paste and then tossed in the steamed veggies. Meanwhile the potatoes that were covered in rub were placed in the oven and baked for about 20 minutes!
We sat down to a fabulous meal – Lama style!

A video blog of my journey to Mexico….
May 26, 2011
Mee busting a move on this writing journey of mine...
Hey Y’all peep my video blog of my journey to Mexico!
Last week I returned to Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico to finish what I started almost 4 years ago, a book. I stayed with my dear friend Senora Gina & Don Lalo (my Mexican parents) at their amazing compound Casa Los Delfines (click to view). I had a super successful week emotionally fulfilling and wildly productive – I wrote 100 pages in 4 days, just possibly shifting what I’ve done from being 1 book to 4 books – that’s right a series. It will be up to the editor to help see it.
I felt as if all of my invisible muse/spirit/ god folks that come through us when we set a strong intention showed up and I was supported by an army of love. Not to mention Senora Gina and Don Lalo, as they cooked for me, talked me through moments of OMG why did I decide to pick this as my GOAL? And of course we giggled a ton, ’cause life without giggles is no fun…
Oh and how could I forget to mention the great Clonce? You’ll have to watch the videos to hear who this magical creature was…
Thanks y’all facebook followers who encouraged me on through the week, and if you aren’t following on facebook join us as facebook is really an entirely different aspect of this website and one with immediate connection.

Shopping at the Turnip Truck
June 8, 2010
Today, Princess Know It All is shopping at the Turnip Truck
More than ever I am paying attention to what I actually put on my skin and scalp – our skin and scalp are our largest organs – pores are holes that lead to ones blood stream, our scalp is itched and scratched at least once a day – these scratches leave little tiny cuts – throw on some chemicals and guess what? A straight shot to our BRAINS! On a vanity point sulfates and parabens thin the hair, study’s have shown that in men there is an even more rapid rate of thinning – hence leading to BALDNESS!! For Mee I break out in a giant rash as the sulfates irritate my skin.
What’s really got me in a tizzy are the effects of OXYBENZONE & VITAMIN A in sunblocks – what these two ingredients do when placed on the skin and then sat in the hot sun is yes, keep the skin from burning however under the skin they are cooking up some serious cancer cells at an intense rate – that’s right Oxybenzone is a KNOWN carcinogen and found in almost EVERY commercial child’s sunblock. Vitamin A is usually found in beauty products that boost anti- aging properties, this is true it does seem to slow down the aging process however what it does when placed in sunblock products and that cover sun bathing or sun exposed skin – is cook up cancer cells underneath! I have been a HUGE fan of mineral make- ups and I still am however MOST of them have SPF mixed with Vitamin A – so what I’ve done is changed my sunblocks and my mineral product is not used at the beach or for periods of time outside. The hope is that there are plenty of chemical free blocks that work – we just spent the week at the beach with the kids and used a great product (click on link for more info) with these products it takes a bit of effort ’cause one must reply every two hours or after swimming. Good luck my friends and happy label reading — remember keeping our BLOOD clean keeps us healthy!
