Before the Paris meat market post- I would like to relay a small food funny that happened this weekend with my girlfriends on the cape.
Being the dutiful Diva that I am , I made some really nice healthy vegetable salads for us to all enjoy over the weekend.
Joanne had us all at her house: Charlene, Allyson, Sarah and me.
So we are sitting around and Allyson is half listening to the conversation as she was not feeling that well. Charlene is asking me about the salads and what is in them.
At one point I keep saying "Kohlrabi". Everyone was kind of looking at me like I was strange and kept asking the same question. And I kept answering "Kohlrabi".
Finally Allyson says-"why do you want me to call Rob and why do you keep calling him Robby???"
After a good laugh I spelled out Kohlrabi and explained it is an Asian vegetable used much like a daikon radish-but milder.
Then later that day we were all at job lot and low and behold-they had Kohlrabi seeds. Everyone was relived to know I had not lost my mind (well at least not pertaining to that!).
So sometimes what seems so obvious to one person is clearly sounding like something else to someone else. Sort of make you wonder how often we think we know what people are saying-but really have no idea. :).
By the way, the salad was fabulous.
peeled grated Kohlrabi
peeled grated carrots
one lemon-juiced and zested
Chinese black vinegar
grated ginger
grape seed or canola oil (about twice the amount of vinegar you use)
minced garlic
toasted sesame seeds toasted
Cashews chopped
hint of hot pepper(Cayenne)
salt to taste
mix lemon juice, zest,oil, vinegar, ginger and garlic together. Pour over grated veggies. toss with cashews sesame seeds and salt.
Let sit for about an hour.
Awesome!!
