Interesting article in the New York Times today. “The Artless Art of Painting With No-Mind”, by Kay Larson page 46 below the fold. Not directly related to cooking but, has a few interesting points that might be related. The article is about the great Zen masters and the painting/drawings they do after meditation. “For a Zen-master-to-be, the struggle to let go of the self is relentless. Decades of rigorous training – rising well before dawn, meditating motionless for hours, laboring in the monastery, facing the teacher – are summed up in the phrase “A dragon gives birth to another dragon.” The ceaseless process of emptying oneself of conceptual and emotional baggage raises one's self awareness of one's “dragon nature.” The new Zen master joins the lineage of those who act out of mu-shin – literally “no-mind,” but also “enlightened mind” – the same mind with which they will paint, sit, pour tea and teach.” This is exactly what I have been trying to express to my wife and why I get up first thing in the morning, turn the computer on and become part of the computer. On a more philosophical note, it is an interesting way to look at the jobs we do and the way we do them. Anyway the article made me think of our friend Emeril. Anyway, back to crazy Jello recipes. Christmas Salad (always served at Thanksgiving, tradition) 1 cup chopped nuts, pecans (optional) 1 small package of lemon jello plus three spoons full from another package 1 regular can crushed pineapple, or about 2 cups fresh. 15 red Marchino cherry's sliced in fine strips 15 green Marchino cherry's sliced in fine stripes 1 container CoolWhip 1 ½ cup of small marshmallows cut in half. 1 small package of cherry jello, use 1 ½ cup water with jello. 1 8 x 11 inch pan Mix the pineapple and juice together with the lemon jello, wait about five minutes. Then mix the cherry slices, nuts, marshmallows, pineapple jello mixture and CoolWhip together. Spread mixture out in an 8 by 11 pan and place in refrigerator. Once cold, make the cherry jello. Place jello in refrigerator until it is cold but not hardened. Pour the jello over the CoolWhip mixture and place in refrigerator until jello sets. Serves 8 to 10. Does anyone else recognize this recipe or is it only my family. Brent
