Holy...speechless...shrimp crust...I am actually hungry. I thought the cheese-stuffed crust was really SNL commercial. I can't believe this creative genius.

Kale: The Leafy Green Monster

I have an embarassing story about kale. My grandmother used to cook it fresh from the garden all the time, but once when I was a child I swallowed half of a huge kale rib while I was still chewing the other half in my mouth. I gagged and my mother thought I was choking, so she picked me up and attempted to turn me upside down.
Needless to say, I survived. But ever since then, I've liked my greens cooked to a pleasantly pork-scented mush. So I say boil the &$@! out of those kale greens, and throw a ham hock in there while you're at it.

I was in Korea this past summer and I ate at both Mr. Pizza and Pizza Hut. I can say that Mr. Pizza's Hanchi Gold is vastly superior to Pizza Hut's Rich Gold (the Hanchi Gold has squid! And twice as much sweet potato mousse!). What was stranger than the pizza though was the fact that Mr. Pizza was marketed towards women --- as health food!

These combos might sound very strange to a North American but so are some of the versions of "Asian" dishes that get served up here. Much of the take-out from our neighbourhood Chinese restaurant are American-Chinese takes on the real thing. Only recently, have we become more adventurous and eaten in 'authentic' Asian restaurants. Hey, what's wrong with a little intermingling of cultures?

Kale: The Leafy Green Monster

The way I've been enjoying kale as a meal this winter is in the Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Kale and Miso recipe I posted last week on my blog, Life in Recipes. I think you'll love it. http://lifeinrecipes.blogspot.com/

I was never interested in trying pizza when I visit Taiwan or Japan, but maybe I'll give it a shot for fun next time... the shrimp bites actually looked appetizing in the youtube commercial. then again, $25 for a Medium, and $35 for a Large? crazy!!

Today's recipe for roasted chickpeas reminded me that Heidi Swanson recently posted this supernutritious and yummy looking chickpea and kale soup/stew:

It's kind of odd how much cheese these pizzas have on them considering that most Asians (at least majority that I'm friends with) are lactose intolerant (I'm one of the exceptions! Woohoo I can horde all the dairy I want!). Maybe I'm just drawn to people who are lactose intolerant so that I can befriend them then torture them by eating all the dairy goodness that are denied to them. (Yeah my friends love me).
