Chapter 8: Ritual and Rhythm
Recipe 8: Fish Tacos with Fermented Vegetables
Taco Tuesday is a great mantra. There's profound wisdom in the rhythm of weekly traditions, in having something to look forward to that anchors you in the midst of chaos. Children thrive on predictable rituals—they need something they can count on, especially when they're having a hard day. But these rituals serve us too, creating islands of intention in the rushing river of modern life. When you transform a beloved tradition like Taco Tuesday into something that nourishes rather than depletes, you're not sacrificing pleasure—you're deepening it. You're creating memories that will last generations, teaching everyone at your table that celebration and health aren't opposites, but dance partners in the ongoing feast of a life well-lived.
