While my kale was in great shape even after I bagged it for a week, I cooked it instead of serving it fresh and raw. I sauteed it with onions and stirred in the beans. Since I'd never cooked it before, Paul thought it might not have been cooked completely. But it didn't hurt the flavor. We ate on leftovers a couple more days.

One day during our visit to New York City, Paul's mom joined us for a stroll around town. After tootling around town, we stopped to eat. We chose Soho Park, if I remember correctly, because it didn't look too expensive, didn't have too long of a line, and had vegetarian options on the menu. Actually, there were four vegetarian sandwiches on the menu. And I believe without cheese, the burgers are vegan.

I used my "Get Out of the Kitchen Free" card early this week. I just couldn't convince myself to get started cooking. We went to P.F. Chang's, which is special to us as it was the location of our first date. Ironically, we met one of my "heros" Henri Landwirth, the creator of Give Kids the World where we had our second date.

I came across an interesting article in the Self Magazine from February 2009. Again, remember I read the magazines at the office during my lunch break. Because magazines travel to different consulting rooms and waiting rooms sometimes I am delayed in coming across interesting information.
