CHAT FROM VcToria

 

WOWSA what a busy month August was, but first I want to add something that I feel should have been said in my August Newsletter. Thank you to everyone who sent me emails in regards to China’s passing [ for new readers she was my last cat and you can see my memorial to her in July's Newsletter if you care to read it. ] Also, a big thank you for the donation sent in memory of her from one of my clients.

 

Back to August. Honestly it was a complete work month as far as I am concerned. Big Valley Jamboree was amazing. Thank goodness I changed out my debit machine to a newer model as I was able to hotspot it to my phone. For some reason in the last two years internet connection [ that is needed for debit machines to work] has been extremely bad. Everyone is complaining. But my machine worked, although slowly, it always connected and unlike last year, I did not have to require cash. I stayed out in Camrose with a buddy and shared the hotel costs that DOUBLE every year because of the demand for hotels in this small town. BUT!!! 😊 the air conditioner failed to work in our room and the manger was nice enough to lower our room total by 50% when we checked out. VERY happy about this and I will also stay there next June when I do the Jaywalkers event based upon this great service 😊

 

Then I had some days off where I mowed the lawn, weeded, sent out the MP3 recordings that I offer for recordings and added the emails I collect and sent out the newsletter to my new readers 😊 Got back to my daily walks 😊 Did groceries and prepared food for the next REALLY busy festival. I also managed to fill one of my webstore orders for a gambling chart I offer. Then came my yearly Tofield event that serves two purposes. One, I bring out my GST to my accountant who lives out there and two enjoy the event that is considered a corporate event as they pay me to sit and do 5-minute reads for the public. It is always busy and I read solidly for the 4 hours 😊 Received more orders on my webstore just before the set-up time for the next festival. Thus, I was able to get them to the post office and mailed out 😊

 

The Fringe arrived but not before I agreed to do an afternoon event with my back up psychic. Last year the same people called me and since The Fringe was starting that day, I turned the gig over to my backup psychic who was just swamped with a never-ending line up. When she left last year, she said to the event planners that two psychics were really needed. So, this year they contacted her and asked if she could bring another one. I agreed as long as I got to leave at 4pm. Also considered a corporate event as they pay us. Again, LONG line ups for the three and half hours that I stayed and worked. However, it worked out well as I do palm and my back up psychic does not. So, my line up was palm and hers was tarot cards 😊 Worked out very well for us. Headed to the first day of the Fringe at 6pm to 11pm and enjoyed the opening day.

 

Then the next ten days were simply getting up, have apple juice and coffee, check the emails and arrive at The Fringe to open my tent by 10.30 am to be ready for 11am to 11pm where I read basically all day for folks. Drive home at 11pm, watch the news and drop into a slumber of deep dark sleep with NO DREAMS!!! It is a very different type of sleep when I work with so many readings.

 

Since I have no cats to rush home to as in the past, I tried something different on the closing day. We closed at 8pm and instead of shutting my tent and going back down on Monday, I tore down. Then I went and hired a homeless guy who was only too happy to be asked if he would like to make some money. He packed up my trolley and walked it to my van and unpacked it. Then he took up my floor and packed that and took it to my van and neatly put it inside. I was going to pay him $30 but he did such a nice job I gave him $40 whereas he looks at me and says “are you sure?” where I gave him a big smile and replied “yes, I am sure, you worked very hard”. His name was Bob. One of the vendors said to me when she saw what I had done “ VcToria, that is brilliant, I am going to remember that especially with the art walk that needs a lot of tear down”. Remember folks there are always people looking to do a small job if you ever need a little help 😊 Oh and Monday came and I was thrilled that I had packed up and did not have to drive over to tear it all down myself 😊 

 

AND!! Of course, once my van was packed up there was a text from my grandson who was arriving from Vancouver at 11pm. Asking if I could pick him up and then realizing that it was the last day of the Fringe and saying never mind. However, for some reason I was not tired and texted back that once they landed and could read the text just know I was available. Drove home and then unpacked the entire van. Then grandson texted back that they were landing and I headed out to pick them up and dropped them home. Then we arranged to meet on September 3rd for supper. More on that next month 😊

 

NOW!!! The Universe said “VcToria poor you, you missed all the nice weather working so hard so here is your favorite weather. Hot, humid and sticky 😊 Above 30C every day and man on man am I happy. I immediately went back to my daily 6-8 kms walks. Yes, I did not take the Monday off from exercise as I had hardly done any walks while working. After my Monday walk [25th August] I did the groceries, made a vegan chili, filled about 10 orders from my webstore and started uploading the MP3 files. Then chilled with the doors open and ate, watched and caught up on TV shows and rested. Thursday [26th] did my daily 6-8 km walk, then sent out all the MP3 recordings I had uploaded and named. Wrote My Opinion column for the newsletter. Then off to the hairdresser to finally get my hair done. 😊 Once there I went into this new grocery store beside them. To my amazement they were stocking my organic coffee that I have only ever found to be sold on the other side of town. 😊 BUT!! Man has the cost gone up. Normally $18 it had gone to $24. Never the less I bought two bags. AND!! Finally, on the 27th I decided that I would mow the lawn before my daily walk. I tell you the lawn, weeds and garden look like a jungle. Got the lawn mowed and then the walk done. Did another column for the newsletter and once again chilled, this time on the back patio in the heat 😊

 

OH!! My garden. The apples tree is in its year of ‘I cannot give you enough apples’. Seriously the branches are so heavy with apples they are touching the ground. I am about to embark on picking and juicing and freezing as much as I can once the newsletter and other chores are completed. BUT!! Let me tell you that in any past years that I have had this happen the winter that follows is FREEZING and snowy. My carrots grew nicely and I am in the middle of pulling them and cooking them. BUT?? The corn did not come to fruition. Why? I do not know. It did last year and I enjoyed eating every one of them. But this year all I got from the top was a string like thread thingy. I cannot understand why it did not materialize into corn cobs. My brussels sprouts did not grow AGAIN. I have never been able to grow them.

I planted strawberries and they had done nicely. I still have no cucumbers although the flowers are there. A few peas grew and literally no green beans materialized on the vines.

Kale grew like crazy and I enjoyed kale chips that I made in my dehydrator every night till the kale ran out. Rhubarb was amazing and I made a lot and used puff pastry to create some desserts and froze some.

 

Truly the garden grew differently this year and the harvest was very poor. I may give the garden a rest next year. I will decide them 😊

 

And that in a nutshell was my month. But let us not forget to post the groceries.

 

NETFLIX?? None lol. Too busy with work and catching up on the recorded TV.   

 

Groceries: agave syrup, ambrosia apples, pears, lemons, mangoes, avocadoes, sesame seeds, panko bread crumbs, beyond meat [4] , celery, vegan ice creams, [I bought a LOT as I love sitting in the heat on the back patio enjoying it] corn, cucumbers, Daiya cheese as they were on special and freeze well, [4] granny smith apples, mandarins, terrible coffee [kicking horse] nectarines, pink lady apples, romaine lettuce, silk creamer, tomatoes, bananas, cauliflowers, vegan mayonnaise, potatoes, red onions, cocoa powder, pasta sauce, spaghetti pasta, green grapes, yellow onions, vegan yogurt, raw sugar, tortillas, tin of diced tomatoes, my good coffee as mentioned above, cereal, vegan breaded chicken patties [ not great and will not buy again] green onion cakes, oyster mushrooms and lastly vegan hamburger buns to have the vegan chicken on that was disappointing, Total cost for the entire month that I must say I am fairly stocked up with food now, was $513.00 So approximately $128 weekly.

 

And as I wrap up ‘chat’ I will just say enjoy the balance of summer as it says ‘goodbye’ till next year’.

 MY OPINION

​

THIS IS MY OPINION AND YOU CAN CHOOSE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE 

​

 

What the heck is it with phones people?

 

Why on earth is it so important to check them every five seconds. You do realize that addiction is the cause of this habit??

 

Let me tell you about one of the most unbelievable things I witnessed this summer. I was staying at a hotel that had a hot tub. I went to see how many people were in the pool/hot tub area and there believe this or not were two people in the hot tub on either side with their phones in hand and standing in the water leaning into the phones. I kid you not. In a frick’en hot tub!!!! Yes, as usual they were younger.

 

I go for walks, and there they are. The addicted folks. Walking with their heads down with eyes screwed to the screen OR more annoyingly so, yelling into the phone while they talk to whoever is on the other end.

 

Then there are the people I despise. Walking their dogs. Phone in hand, head down and the poor dog is trying to pee or poo and they are oblivious to the fact and just drag the dog behind them. PEOPLE like this should not have animals. If the leash tightens folks STOP turn around and let the dog do what they are trying to do. Go to the bathroom. Then by the way, do pick up the poo as I notice many do not as I walk the enjoyable trails.

 

There will come a day when the satellites that sit above us in the sky are taken out of service. When? I presume that once a war is announced that any country who comes after us will take out our communication systems first. What will the addicted do then?

 

And if you think we will not go to war then ask our Canadian Prime Minster why he is putting so much of our tax money into Nato, the army and war related defence machinery. You [not me lol] voted him and now many will suffer the consequences.

 

BUT!! I digress. Are you one of the addicted? Here is what you are missing. When you do a physical activity like a walk in nature the birds are singing, the butterflies are all around, flowers are still in bloom, the sky is blue and the sun warm. All of this you are missing because the brain is occupied with ‘oh my goodness I had better check my phone incase I am missing something’. When the brain is occupied with worry which is what you are doing by being addicted to the phone the rest of the body will wither away. I kid you not.

 

A physical activity should be enjoyed. Nature should be enjoyed. The dog should be enjoyed while he/she express their delight in walking with you.

 

NOW!! The hot tub?? Why are you not sitting back allowing the warm water to be absorbed into a feeling of relaxation? Feel your inner core and allow yourself to enjoy the body and how it reacts to the quiet of the eyes closed and thoughts of worry gone.

 

OH!!!! And a red light is NOT a signal to check your phone messages. A red light is so that traffic on the other side has a green light that means go. So, when the red light on our side turns green, we expect you to move the traffic along that sits behind you. Not so we have to sit on the horn to get your addiction awake to the driving.

 

In all seriousness I think new cars should be made with WIFI off completely. Until the engine is turned off all should be silenced. Just like the ‘do not disturb’ button that is on ALL iPhones.  

 

Try a day walking the dog without the phone. Try a day in the hot tub without your phone. Try a day relaxing without the phone. You may delight in it. OR you may fall apart when the services that supplies us with the connections fail. Learn that a phone addiction is EXTREMY bad for the brain but also for your eyes. Relax in life and use the phone like we used to back in the days when dial was the only way to call someone. We did everything else and left our calls to when we were home.

 

AND!! We all survived nicely.

VcToria's Spiritual Advice
Does anyone ever think deeply about time?

I find a lot of people think about the future. I do too. But not in the sense of ‘oh I wish it was here’. The only time I focus on the future is when I am booking shows, clients or now, travel. You have to because dates in our time sense are in the future.

 

BUT!! Once that time arrives it is only a memory or something we ticked off on our ‘to do’ list. Then in our sense of time it becomes the ‘past’. We cannot change that time that was offered to us ever. Why? Because in the way humans understand time we cannot turn time backwards. Hence many feel regret with actions that are now in the past.

 

When you analyze that it becomes clear that regrets would not happen IF we only focused on the ‘moment of time’. How we handle the past is actually in the moment. We have an opportunity to create a VERY positive past of memories if we decide to focus on the moment of time once the future thoughts of actions arrive.

 

Let us say we have booked travel. We know what time the plane is leaving. BUT!! Instead of packing a few days ahead of time we leave it to the last minute. Then oversleep. Then rush, then bitch at the taxi driver as he drives slowly and you need to get to the airport to get the plane. Once there you rush through customs and finally land in your seat all mentally tired out. What now is your past memory that you cannot change? Regret that you ruined the taxi drivers day by bitching at him for doing the speed limit, standing in line feeling frazzled and whatever else you now regret because you chose not to pack a few days earlier and set two alarms and get up on time.

 

This is a simple example of how people have regret in their lives. Pregnant woman who say ‘I cannot wait till the baby arrives’ kids who say ‘I cannot wait till graduation day’ people who say ‘I cannot wait till retirement’ all focus only out of the linear of time.

 

Take an apple that you eat. What if the body was able to say ‘I will digest that apple in a few hours’. How would your body feel while it backed up with food? Horrible. This is why the body is created to digest in the moment of time when you eat.

 

Same with the brain. If you focus upon ‘now’ you feel the time that can never ever be repeated. The brain likes to live in the ‘now’. It then practises holding a memory.

 

How many people say ‘I cannot remember’? Why?? Because they do not focus in the moment. You see this when someone is having a conversation. They are half listening and then deciding how they will answer. OR as I see almost all the youth doing today, pretending to listen while focused upon their texts/messages etc.

I have a granddaughter who does this. She says ‘grandma I am listening’ and then LOL when I say something like ‘ so what do you think about so and so saying that about you ‘ she suddenly says ‘wait, what did you just say’?!!!!! And I say ‘see you cannot listen and multitask’. That is the cause of so many kids today saying ‘ I have a bad memory’. No, you do not. You are just not focusing in the ‘now’ and on one task.

 

Ever talk to someone on the phone and all they are doing is dishes, weeding, or any other task? They truly are not listening as the brain cannot do two things at once PROPERLY. Next time you talk to them they say ‘no, you did not tell me that’ and you know clearly you did as you were not doing tasks while talking to them on the phone. Your memory was focused in the ‘now’ and is retained with the full conversation.

 

And that folks is why many think they have bad memories or have regrets about so much. Try focusing in the ‘now’ for just one day. Think about your day as you go to bed. If you focused with positivity in the ‘now’ all day then you will have a positive memory of the full day. Do that for 365 days and the habit you have incurred will result in a positive life with NO REGRETS 😊

 Next Month: Not sure yet but you know I will write something 😊

VcToria's Raw Vegan Kitchen  
CREPES

Crepes are really good when they are cooked properly. The trick to crepes is to keep them really thin. Thus, I use a crepe maker I bought many years ago from Amazon the Cucina Pro. Easy to use and nice sized crepes.

Here is the recipe for ordinary crepes that you can fill on the cooker.

 

1 and half cups of vegan milk. Since I am 90% raw, I only use almond milk that I make solely from almonds and water. This cooks, although to brown the crepes takes a bit longer.

1 and half cups of all purpose flour.

½ teaspoon salt.

Egg replacer. Every store sells egg replacer OR you can use the liquid vegan egg that sells from Just Egg. You will need an equivalent to 4 hen eggs.

 

Mix the liquid egg replacer and milk in a bowl. Add the flour and salt and mix till smooth. If the mixture is to thick add more milk or water. It must be smooth.

 

I HIGHLY recommend a crepe maker as you simply turn the top of the cooker into the mixture and it coat's an even thin crepe and then cooks it with the built-in timer 😊

 

I cooked up mushrooms and onions in a fry pan and had a mushroom crepe. Same way. Cook the crepe. Add the mushroom mixture and flip to close.

 

For two days in a row, I had vegan cheese and tomato. Same way. Cooked the crepe, added the vegan cheese and tomato. Let the cheese melt. Flipped half the crepe and removed and ate 😊

 

You can make strawberry crepes or my VERY favorite that I plan to make soon is the French Crepe Suzette. Made with an orange sauce and flambe with Grand Marnier. I have to go to the liquor store to get the liquor though. Trust me the Crepe Suzette is to die for 😊 If you make them use sugar in replacement for salt in the actual crepe. [1 tablespoon].

 

For the sauce melt 4 tablespoons of vegan butter. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the butter. Stir till it dissolves. Add the zest [grated skin] and juice of one orange plus one tablespoon of lemon juice. Simmer till the sauce thickens a bit. Add two tablespoons of Grand Marnier or any orange liqueur. Warm it gently.

 

You do not have to flambe it but if you do simply tilt the pan OR use a long lighter and light. Burn till the flame stops.



Take the crepes and fold in quarters or roll them. Place them in the warm pan with the sauce. Spoon sauce over the crepes and serve as long as they are warm. ENJOY!!

 

Virtually you can experiment and choose what crepes you enjoy by adding veggies etc. I make about a dozen crepes and freeze some. Crepes freeze very well and then you just reheat and add the centre 😊
