The work I do is so often misunderstood and misrepresented. If you’re interested, I think this is a particularly good interview with my boss, Sheila Kelley, via the Huffington Post. Click right here to read it.

raw kale salad: try this now!
i know…kale. it’s like, what!? what’s kale and how do i eat it? isn’t it bitter? don’t you have to boil it?
no!
i learned this simple raw kale salad recipe and love it so much i am sharing it with you. easy, cheap, fast, healthy.
for 1 or 2 people, here’s what you’ll need…
2-4 stalks of fresh, washed kale
1/2 of a ripe avocado
the juice from 1/2 a lemon
cayenne pepper
salt
raw agave syrup (if you like)
begin by pulling the leafy sections of the kale off the stalks and placing them in a mixing bowl (the leafy parts, not the stalks). scoop the 1/2 avocado and squeeze the 1/2 lemon into the bowl. sprinkle a dash of cayenne pepper and a bit of salt and then mix it up with your hands, squishing the ingredients together. this can be such a fun, sensual experience as the textures and smells mix together. taste the salad and if it’s too “spicy” with cayenne, you can squeeze a bit of agave syrup to taste and hand toss again…
seriously, people. this is good!
enjoy.

new year’s eve fun
For New Year’s Eve we were going to go to dinner and a movie. Then we decided not to be old and invited R’s cousin over for dinner before going out to see R’s brother play in his cover band. It was fun, plain and simple…
I made a delicious, vegetarian Hachis Parmentier, which is a French Potato Casserole that I learned from my brother. Mmmm, good! Greg enjoyed being our guest and we loved having him…
We opened party poppers during dinner, which provided us with fancy hats to don throughout the night. Kind of perfect: blue for him, pink for her…
And here we are in the back of our cab as we made our way into the valley for the show. You will notice the beautiful, orange butterfly clip which was my popper present.
Cute, eh?
And, of course, it wouldn’t be New Year’s Eve if there wasn’t a bit of silliness at midnight. Unfortunately, the midnight kiss was a bit flubbed. He wanted a kiss, I wanted a photo. I won…
All was fun and we were home by 12:30pm. Old, but still fun. Maybe?
