A Salon

| | Comments (5)


Our friends Brian and Tameeza started a Salon tradition, and we attended the 2nd on Friday. About 30 people gathered, nibbled, sipped, and socialized until the bell rang, and we all piled into the living room. The question we all took turns answering was, "what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail."

People interpreted this in different ways, as in what would one do in this current life that we don't do because we're afraid of failing, or what would one do if one could do anything, like create a gene that would make all humans shift their "racial" types every 2 years (Dav's idea). Or give everyone the ability to do lucid dreaming.

I had 2: become the mayor of a small conservative town somewhere and introduce a Burning Man type lifestyle. Assuming I wouldn't fail at this, I'd be most interested in how this process is achieved, i.e. what the change process and struggles would be in people's philosophical, religious, and deep personal beliefs.

My 2nd choice was to become a world-renowned cheese expert, and create my own cheese. By the end of the evening, my nickname became Mayor du Fromage, and Dav adopted Bullshit Sheriff - after a heated discussion where he called out someone's bullshit. So now Dav and I want to create personas (and matching outfits) to walk around the playa as Mayor du Fromage and her Bullshit Sheriff.

Mie! What kinds of cheese can and can't you eat while pregnant??? I have heard all soft cheese is out (like Brie). What about things like Stilton?

Basically, pregnant women are told to avoid soft unpasturized cheeses and cheeses with molds. But that's to be safe, and I've nibbled on the "bad" cheeses, knowing they came from excellent sources. I'm more of a "all in moderation" gal...like with sushi, Americans are told absolutely no sushi. That's a bunch of bull. Go ask Japanese...as long as you avoid the mercury laden big fishies which is a global problem.

Good to know! It never occured to me to think about Japanese eating sushi while expecting. How narrow-minded of me!
