Greek Salad
(COOKBOOK.13 for StartOver.xyz)

During the long Kyoto winters, special cafés rebuild their tables into large frying pans. Your order your ingredients from the menu, mix them together at your table, pour the batter onto the hand-warming grill in front of you, and eat hot Okonomiyaki with your choice of condiments. Clinton had to use special listening skills to learn how to make the Secret Sauce!
Desserts

You would never believe how delicious your nutritious winter squash can taste!
The name of this cake is not a onomatopoeia - meaning, it doesn't taste like it sounds like it tastes... It comes out heavenly soft, sweet and chewy.
Marina's Mom's World's Best Apple Cake

Squash use humans to carry their seeds to new places to grow. We humans also carry memetic seeds in our energetic bodies.

While exploring the Distinctionary you may as well enjoy some spicy Squash Pie... for revenge.
Crumb Top Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
(COOKBOOK.48 for StartOver.xyz)
Pies are edible art, and as artists know, the recipe is for those without imaginations. This recipe begs for improvisation. So go for it! Make the recipe one time as it is first, then start thinking of other ways to bring it to life: elderberries with peaches, apricots with mangoes, plums with nectarines... god, my mouth is watering!
Shoofly Pie
(COOKBOOK.47 for StartOver.xyz)
On the back of the original recipe card it said, “from Agnes Kleppinger 10/57” The Kleppingers were next-door neighbors to the Callahans near Allentown, Pennsylvania from 1952 to 1957. The Kleppingers were farmers who kept their goats in the trailer that Clinton loved to visit even though his Mom told him not to. When Clinton snuck back home after being with the goats he would wonder why his Mom always knew where he had been... (story continues on the recipe...)
Possibilica Pecan Pie
(COOKBOOK.55 for StartOver.xyz)
We debate about eating Possibilica Pecan Pie plain or with whipped cream, yogurt, or even with vanilla ice cream! It is a firey debate with no final answer, except that deep down, everyone would rather eat Possibilica Pecan Pie than argue. We think this is the solution to world peace.
Apple Crisp
(COOKBOOK.49 for StartOver.xyz)
Of all the recipes in the Possibilica Cookbook this is the recipe I have made most often. Why is that? I think it is because apples are so plentiful in the lands I have lived lately, and this sweet warm oats apple cinnamon combination... must have been invented in Valhalla. It is cooked fruits and whole grains. I hope you enjoy serving this to your friends as much as I have.

Phyllis Goldman's Grandma's Cookies
Yes. This is the recipe. Greasy, old, hand written on a 5x7 inch card. Probably the first time it has been written down. Before 8 September 1973 it was passed on by direct transmission. You copied your mother making these cookies often enough that you memorized how to do it.

Remedies
Here we share some medicinal remedies that we have found to be useful and effective for living well in this amazing and expanding Universe.
Nervine
(COOKBOOK.60 for StartOver.xyz)
The herbalist and author Lalitha Thomas formulated this all natural nervous system balm for us after participating in several of our trainings. She designed the mix to ease stress from adrenals and calm the nerves, while at the same time increasing creative stamina in transformational spaces. Several Possibility Managers gather and grind the ingredients from herb shops in Germany and assemble the capsules. Or you can follow this recipe and do it yourself. If your condition is chronic this is no solution, but Nervine can give your body a chance to gather its resources and start over refreshed and balanced.
Turmeric Chai Latte
(COOKBOOK.61 for StartOver.xyz)
Inflammation is when a part of the body becomes reddened, hot, swollen, or painful. Inflammation can cause stiff or painful joints, and can affect internal organs. Turmeric has long been known to effectively reduce inflammation without side effects, however their are some tricks for assuring that the turmeric has its full effect, such as heating up the turmeric in combination with pepperine from freshly ground black pepper and some oil. I learned this recipe for Turmeric Chai Latte from my daughter Aurora Leroux, who also heals her horses with turmeric, and makes amazingly gentle natural soap from hand-harvested donkey milk from her own donkeys in France. (https://www.arcoulane.com/commandes/)
MSM plus Vitamin C
(COOKBOOK.62 for StartOver.xyz)
Combining MSM powder (methylsufanylmethane - a source of organic sulfur) and Vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid) was explained to me by the healer Dahlia Abramovic (http://4-koerper-osteopathie.de) and it seems to really help maintain healthy strong joints in the knees, elbows, wrists, fingers, neck...
The body uses and is made of so much sulfur but no minimum daily requirement has yet been established. This does not mean you don't need it.
Raw Squash Seeds
(COOKBOOK.63 for StartOver.xyz)
Pin Worms are common intestinal parasites in humans, mostly harmless, but which can cause anal itching during the night when they come out to lay their eggs. You can sometimes see them if you examine your shit in the toilet.
It turns out that eating (chewing thoroughly) 2 or 3 tablespoons of raw green shell-less squash seeds a day will kill them off. This works for both adults and children. It is a specific vermicide for pin worms.
Certain foods (such as red beets or poppy seeds) can cause some people's bodies to have hemorrhoids, or swollen veins. Some people's veins bulge out or get damaged easily from being bumped, and then they can be quite painful or take a long time to shrink back to normal size. Also, some people may experience nose bleeds. In these cases, a simple tea made of dried Butcher's Broom roots (Ruscus aculeatus), or taking two capsules of dried Butcher's Broom root power for a rew days in a row can do wonders.
Bardo Special
(COOKBOOK.65 for StartOver.xyz)
Can you remember a time when a perfectly wonderful conversation or initimacy space was suddenly subsumed by a shadow and sank into a swamp of low drama out of which you could not escape? We could call that a Bardo Space. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to fortify your 5 bodies and make you more immune to getting sucked into a Bardo Space? Or, even if you are in a Bardo Space, to have a way to get out of it? Well, cheer up! Now you have it! The Bardo Special.
Ear Pressure Points
(COOKBOOK.66 for StartOver.xyz)
A painful imbalance can sometimes occur in the ear, in infants, children, or adults. When you know this pressure point remedy the pain can disappear within minutes without any further treatments or medications. Many a good night's sleep has been recovered by applying this simple technique.
Relaxing Eye Exercises
(COOKBOOK.67 for StartOver.xyz)
Staring straight ahead at a flat screen up close can tire the eyes to the extreme and weaken their natural ability to rapidly re-refocus from near to far away and back. These exercises take a minute or so to do and if you do them once a day the world stays bright and shiny. This does not stop global warming, but it may be the next best thing!

(Stop Eating) Dish Soap
(COOKBOOK.68 for StartOver.xyz)
This is an IMPORTANT preventive remedy - meaning, if you STOP EATING DISH SOAP you can prevent you and your family from getting potentially dangerous illnesses. The experiment is straightforward. Thoroughly rinse all the soap off of your glasses, AND dishes, AND cutlery, both from the dishwasher and the sink, before using them. Why? Simple. Soaps, and even more so, detergents, dissolve fat. The walls of your cells are made from fat. By putting soap products into your body you dissolve your cell walls. Soap is one of the worst toxins you can put into your body. Some people wash dishes and let them dry with the soap still on them. Then they eat and drink the soap. Yikes! Stop it! Rinse all the soap off each dish while washing them. Automatic dishwashers? Yes. Try this experiment. Take a glass that has been washed in a dishwasher and fill it directly from the faucet with fresh cold water. Notice how long the bubbles stay at the top of the water. Now, thoroughly rinse out that glass from the chemical residue left on it from the dishwashing tablet that prevents drops from forming when it dries. Fill up the rinsed-out glass from the same faucet and notice how long the bubbles stay at the top of the water. They should disappear almost immediately. Before they probably remained for a few seconds longer due to the chemical residue that you drink each time you don't rinse the glass from the dishwasher! Let this be a lesson!
Meadowsweet / Mädesüß
(COOKBOOK.69 for StartOver.xyz)
Filipendula ulmaria, commonly known as Meadowsweet or Mead Wort in English, and as Mädesüß in German, is a perennial herb in the family Rosaceae (the family of apples and roses), and grows in damp meadows. It is native throughout most of Europe and Western Asia (Near east and Middle east). It has been introduced and naturalized in North America. The botanical name 'ulmaria' means 'elmlike', in reference to its individual leaves which resemble those of the elm tree (Ulmus). Like slippery elm bark bark, Meadowsweet contains salicylic acid, which has long been used as a painkiller. In 1897, Felix Hoffmann created a synthetically altered version of salicin, derived from Meadowsweet, which caused less digestive upset than pure salicylic acid. The new drug, acetylsalicylic acid, was named 'aspirin' by Hoffmann's employer Bayer AG after the old botanical name for meadowsweet, Spiraea ulmaria.
In short, by eating 1 or 2 fresh raw Meadowsweet / Mädesüß leaves, your headache will go away.
A tea made from Filipendula ulmaria flowers or leaves has been used in traditional Austrian herbal medicine for the treatment of rheumatism, gout, infections, and fever.
If you find Meadowsweet / Mädesüß growing wild you can transplant some to your herb garden, or you can order it from your local nursery.
Reishi / Chaga / Lion's Mane / Cordyceps
(COOKBOOK.70 for StartOver.xyz)
A mixture of four powdered dried mushrooms (Reishi, Chaga, Lion's Mane, and Cordyceps) is grown and manufactured by Dave and Rachel Wylie of 'Flow State' in KeriKeri, North Island, Aotearoa (New Zealand), also available from www.healthpost.co.nz. This mix, taken as 1/2 teaspoon powder mixed into your morning Inka (grain beverage), creates a powerful harmonizing balancing energizing and overall healing effect worth 3 Matrix Points to experiment with. There is also a 6 mushroom mix (adding Turkey Tail and Maitake) already packed in capsules, called Mycomplete also available from both sources. May you hummmmmmm!
3 Phase Healing / Worthing Healers
https://3phasehealing.mystrikingly.com
Working with the Worthing Healers: (COOKBOOK.71 for StartOver.xyz)
Our research (and yours, possibly, also...) reveals that healing and radiant health is a 5 Body affair. You may arrange for healing in your physical and intellectual bodies, but if your emotional, energetic, or archetypal bodies are still out of balance, your symptoms and ailments may remain as if unaffected by treatments. 3 Phase Healing regards imbalances and symptoms as steppingstones on your transformational Path - an in-between state experienced while your Being naturally evolves from one shape to its next evolutionary shape. Especially try working with the Worthing Healers, and Centering The Being.
From time to time it can happen that a furry little mouse becomes bothersome. Modern culture offers you the solution of using a killer mouse trap, or some kind of rodent poisoning, neither of which is a tasteful elegant Archan solution. In their place we offer you the home-made Archan Regenerative Culture Catch 'Em Alive Trap. A full-size PDF of the above drawing is available for free to download HERE. You build this device yourelf (with your kids...) out of a large empty recycled steel coffee can with both ends cut off using a can-opener. By hammering a nail into a piece of wood through the rear rim of the can near its edge in several places, you can wire quarter-inch (or 1 centimeter) square galvanized steel mesh to the back of the can, cut to the right size using steel snipping shears. Drill 4 holes through the wooden base of a standard wooden mouse trap on side where the metal loop goes when it is closed. Make the same 4 holes in the side of the can near the entrance, making sure that the axel of the spring is exactly at the edge of the can. Bolt the wooden mouse trap to the side of the can on the inside of the can. Then wire the trap door to the moving loop of wire on the mousetrap, so that when the loop tries to snap shut it holds the wire mesh door closed. To set the trap, apply peanut butter or cheese to the bait hook, and then set the trap bar as usual. When a hungry little mouse enters the trap and jiggles loose the trap bar, the door clangs shut with him on the inside! Then you can safely transport your bothersome little visitor to another location and let him go free to start a new life out there. For this reason, you could call this the Mouse StartOver.xyz device.
