A quote from George: "Whenever you are most eager to perserve your power is exactly when you most often give it away. In anxiety to look good, to gain approval, to avoid conflict which might harm you, you will find yourself trading off your integrity, your honesty, your strength, your composure, your independence. In so far as you understand and experience who and what you Are, on the contrary, you find yourself relaxing, able to stand firm with an infinitely gentle sweetness, and never again, like the man in the ancient Bible tale, selling your birthright for a simple pot of porrige." A popular recipe: Millet Griddlecakes (or Pilaf) with Mushroom-Garlic Sauce Griddlecakes are based on the same principle as polenta, but use a whole grain, rather than meal.When cooked with a bit more water than used for dry, fluffy grain, and stirred a bit, many grains will chill in a solid form which may be sliced and pan-fried with delicious results.

Add salt and water or stock and raise heat to high. While waiting for liquid to come to a boil, dice the onion and add; when liquid boils, reduce heat to very low and cover; simmer 25-30 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
