That sounds yum. Some acid would probably be a nice note.

I also have a lot of greens to do something with but I made soup a couple of weeks ago and I'm really not such a huge soup person right now.

brenda, I would still love your Revised Theory Of Eating, when/if you ever write it down. Or put pixels on screen. You know.

But if you don't, that's cool too; no pressure implied.

That actually sounds like a project I could tackle today. I was grappling with some med side effects (that actually I might want to pick your brain about in return) that was making me struggle a bit so I didn't really get what I wanted out.

I just started some cashews soaking to make a lemon cashew cream to drizzle on top of the soup, which I think now means that I'll have to puree it, because I can't really see drizzling something on top of a non-pureed soup. Hmm. I've got some thyme -- that'll probably be good in this soup.

I love side effects!

...not really. But some are weirder than hell.

Relatedly, I'm editing an article about how a drug that's used primarily for nausea (it started as a drug for chemotherapy-related nausea) has been found to be beneficial in schizophrenia. I mean, what a huge difference in medical conditions, right? And one drug works for both! (Well, theoretically, in the schizophrenia; it's only recently been reported, so it's not an FDA-approved treatment or anything.) But still: drugs are neat.

That is the size of the weeds in my yard.

and I have just put up a very undignified picture of new cat Nathaniel on face book.

Those discoveries fascinate me. I always figure that must be how they come up with drugs like Latisse, the one advertised for eyelash growth.

In the vegetable vein, what's a good thing to do with kale? This should be pretty mild (mostly from my garden and picked small) - I'm thinking saute with garlic and olive oil? But I am open to suggestions.

I usually cook kale with some garlic and olive oil and a bit of vegetable broth to cook it down. Sometimes beans, too.

See, when my weeds get to be that size I pretend I meant to have them there. If I can look them up and call them by name, they're volunteers, not weeds.
