Massaged kale actually changes the texture and taste of raw kale and makes it edible.
Yep. We massage kale, or at least serve it with a warm vinaigrette to soften the leaves.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

would slap anyone who offered me "massaged" kale.
It's an actual thing that breaks down some of the fibers and stuff. But it does sound ridiculous.

Yeah, I didn't think it was a real thing until I started making kale Caesar salad (tomorrow's dinner plan), and realized that squishing the kale with some olive oil actually made a difference.

I am eating panko-crusted tilapia with roasted asparagus and red bell pepper for dinner.
Ooh, that sounds good.
JZ's dinner was farfelle tossed with sauteed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and roasted peppers, then spinach and ricotta.
Matilda: farfelle with marinara.
Mine was: whatever was lying around.

Asparagus being on sale this week, I steamed a bunch for myself and tossed it with whole wheat pasta, ham, and cream cheese. Yum. I suspect Daniel had a bowl of chili or a meatloaf sandwich.

Ugh, now I'm hungry and have no snack food in my apartment. I do, however, have a microwaveable container of bourbon chicken, which I hope isn't too disgusting to eat.

Massaged kale with avocado is the bomb. Put olive oil and salt on raw kale, put in freezer bag, take out aggressions/relax the kale with deep tissue (depending on mood). Add avocado. Use fork to fend off all potential salad thieves.

Steph and/or anyone else who has used mashed avocado in place of some of the mayo in egg and other salads, is the mayo sufficient for keeping the avocado from going brown over time? At work yesterday, I made a splendid tuna salad with avocado and mayo - served over romaine, with a cucumber/tomato/balsamic salad around the tuna. The people I put it in front of loved it, even the one who wasn't sure she liked avocado. I'm wondering about how well it would work to use leftovers of the avocado/tuna for the next day's lunches.

Andi, I'm not sure, because we usually eat it up so quickly there aren't leftovers. Sorry.
