Channeling the dead and repairing my Louis Vuitton

[PinkTiger]

I have a new post up on my new blog - here's a snippet:

For most of my life I’ve been able to communicate with dead people. Now, before you get all weirded out, let me explain that it isn’t like you think. I don’t go around with a crystal ball or hold séances, or get booked on Oprah or Dr. Phil. None of that. I just talk to them in my mind and they tell me things, and it is usually mundane. For example, after I go somewhere different, say, like Paris, I might come back with people in my head who help me in the kitchen for awhile. I love to cook and I’ve had lots of help in this regard. How do I know I’m channeling the dead? Because I haven’t clue, often, how to cook something or do something, and I just open my head and let the “cook” pop in. They actually talk to me, and it’s not anything that I would have in my head to begin with. It’s usually a lot like Rachael Ray:

Me: “Ok, here we are, in the kitchen with the olive oil and the pasta and the special herbs, and I want to cook that luscious dish we had in Paris.”

Them: “Thought you would never ask! OK, let’s get started. First, do this. No, not like that. Like this. Take it easy there. Not too much garlic. What is it about Americans and their garlic!!!”

And so on.

2. Oh, what a wonderful story!

I believe in calling spirits of various subject matter and I'm so glad to be reminded of this. It started with a friend from long ago who use to say, when faced with a problem, "If I were clever, what would I do?" And a solution would immediately come. Well, knowing spirits exists, I took the shortcut.
Thanks for the link to your blog :)

5. Thanks for checking it out!

I love writing this stuff, and passing it on. I have a feeling I'm passing down a long legacy on this from my ancestors.

3. I really enjoyed that story (and your blog).

I loved this sentence: "....I know a lot of people don’t believe it. But I don’t care. I just know it is true."

Yes.

I'm an Ozarker too :)

4. just gotta say

:rofl:

Your messages are the same as my messages, with one slight difference.

"Take it easy there. Not too much salt. What is it about Americans and their salt?"

I haven't been to France in awhile so my submerged inner cook hasn't emerged in awhile. After Japan it went into semi-permanent hibernation.

Keep cookin'!

6. If I can ever get to Europe again

I want to do an eating tour of Spain, Italy and France. and then, write a book about it. Wouldn't that be fun? I used to love reading those type of books when I was younger, including the ones by the Herters, who owned a lodge in Minnesota and wrote about their travels all over the world in their many Bull Cook cookbooks.
I'd like to do an updated version of that but without the camping and outdoor stuff. More of a "haunted places in Europe" and the food. Of course, to do it right, I'd have to go to Greece and to Croatia and maybe Prague.
