			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m eating lots of yums at my parents&#8217;. My mom made this wonderful amazing stir-fry tonight for <strong>dinner</strong>.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/19-stir-fry.JPG" /></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know the recipe, but I know it had lots of <strong>peanut butter</strong>. It was delicious. Maybe I&#8217;ll ask her how she made it sometime soon. It had all of my favorite veggies &#8211; broccoli, mushrooms, carrots (which I actually avoided because I&#8217;m trying not to turn orange), and red peppers. She&#8217;s not scared to use enough oil to make it taste good either.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/20-stir-fry.JPG" /></p>
<p>This morning (and yesterday I think) for <strong>breakfast</strong> I made a really good bowl of hot cereal. I mix together&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>~1/2 cup of quick cooking oats</li>
<li>a few tablespoons of farina</li>
<li>cook it in water &amp; almond milk</li>
<li>cinnamon, <em><strong>almond or orange extract</strong></em> (or both!), dash of salt</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/18-farina-oats.JPG" /></p>
<p>I like to top it with milk (whole cow&#8217;s milk or more almond milk) and maple syrup or honey. My facial lady told me to avoid sugar and see what happens (I know what will happen &#8211; my face will be clear), so today I had it with no syrup (but extra milk).</p>
<p>Uh oh. I think I have a new addiction. It sounds like kabocha, but it&#8217;s more expensive &#8211; <strong>kombucha</strong>.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="260" style="margin: 5px" width="260" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kombucha.jpg" /></p>
<p>The one I tried was $3.39 (yikes) and it was &quot;GT&#8217;s Organic Botanic No. 7 Kombucha&quot;. I specifically got the one with probiotics to help with my <strong>digestion</strong>. This one was <strong>raw</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Kombucha</strong> is a fermented Chinese tea. It takes about 30 days to make; during the process various nutrients are formed (enzymes, probiotics, amino acids, antioxidants, and polyphenols). It&#8217;s basically <strong>the healthiest thing you could possibly drink</strong>.</p>
<p>Some people say it tastes like vinegar; I thought it tasted a little bit like <strong>wine</strong>, only fizzy and better (I don&#8217;t really like wine). I&#8217;ll definitely be buying this again as soon as I can wrap my head around the price. It&#8217;s so darn pricey. I will absolutely try to make this in the future. <strong>Tips?</strong></p>
<p>Speaking of <strong>yummy things</strong>, I did these 5 videos yesterday for <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/workout/">exercise</a>. They are each 10 minutes. Try them out! <a href="http://garbanzogirl.wordpress.com/">My sister</a> loves <a href="http://www.yogaisyummy.net/">Polly&#8217;s</a> videos too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bobby&#8217;s cousins are so sweet. I&#8217;m going to miss them a lot. On our last night in California (Monday, November 9th) we went out together to <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/10/11/dinner-out-thai-food-seasonal-frozen-yogurt/">Blue Mango</a> (our favorite restaurant) in Santa Clara. Blue Mango is a Thai restaurant and they have a separate vegetarian menu (I haven&#8217;t used it in a while). We shared a bunch of dishes&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>Appetizer</strong></em>: <strong>Heavenly Stuffed Wings</strong> &#8211; de-boned chicken wings stuffed with ground chicken, silver noodle, cilantro, water chestnut and black mushroom. They came with this great sweet dipping sauce. This was kind of scary at first (fried! processed! breaded!) but the deliciousness made up for it.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/10-stuffed-wings.JPG" /></p>
<p>For dinner we shared 4 dishes. The <strong>Blue Mango Fried Rice</strong> &#8211; a big house special: chicken fried rice topped with sweet garlic pork.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/13-fried-rice.JPG" /></p>
<p>The <strong>Green Curry</strong> &#8211; eggplant, bamboo, and bell pepper are soaked in coconut milk, with a hint of basil (cannot be mild).</p>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/14-green-curry.JPG" /></p>
<p><strong>Mushroom Mountain</strong>, as usual &#8211; soft tofu, baby corn, bamboo, straw mushroom, and bean sprout stir-fried with a bit of green curry paste. Sesame seed are sprinkled on for a beautiful finish.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/12-mushroom-mountain.JPG" /></p>
<p>And <strong>Basil Chili Chicken</strong>, also as usual &#8211; with bell pepper and onion.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/11-basil-chili-chicken.JPG" /></p>
<p>After dinner we went out for dessert <strong>(frozen yogurt)</strong> at <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/10/11/dinner-out-thai-food-seasonal-frozen-yogurt/">Golden Spoon</a> &#8211; pumpkin pie and chocolate flavors. The toppings were raspberries, mango (not ripe, unfortunately), and crushed brownie bits.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="265" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/15-frozen-yogurt.JPG" /></p>
<p>Blue Mango never disappoints. And neither does Golden Spoon. If you ever get a chance, go there! (I&#8217;m talking about the Blue Mango on Stevens Creek &#8211; I hear the other one is not so good.)</p>
<p>Now that I&#8217;m in NJ I don&#8217;t have Blue Mango. But I do have <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/01/03/some-yummy-meals/">Edo Sushi</a>! Bobby, Julia, and I all went out for dinner tonight. I love this place. Edo Sushi is a Japanese and Chinese restaurant on Route 31 in the same shopping center as Pennington Market. It&#8217;s about a 10 minute walk from my parents&#8217; house.</p>
<p>First is the <strong>tea</strong>&#8230; (unlimited and free &#8211; my two favorite qualities). Notice my cool NY key chain &#8211; it&#8217;s kind of vintage because it has the twin towers on it. I think I got it back in middle school.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="299" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/16-tea.JPG" /></p>
<p>I got <strong>chicken and broccoli</strong> with the sauce on the side (brown sauce).</p>
<p align="center"><img height="299" style="margin: 5px" width="400" alt="" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/17-chicken-broccoli.JPG" /></p>
<p>The other pictures didn&#8217;t come out, but Julia got <strong>veggies and tofu</strong> with the sauce on the side (also brown sauce). Bobby got the <strong>Dragon vs. Phoenix</strong> &#8211; chicken, shrimp, and veggies stir-fried with yet another brown sauce. He also got a big pot of rice.</p>
<p>We finished everything. The check came with <strong>pineapple cubes and fortune cookies</strong>. Yum! I love Edo&#8217;s.</p>
<p>This dinner was nice after my indulgent afternoon&#8230; My parents gave me a <strong>massage + facial combo</strong> for my birthday and I finally used it. I went to <a href="http://www.sydneyalbert.com/">Sydney Albert Salon Spa</a> in Princeton. I&#8217;d highly recommend this place &#8211; I&#8217;ve been going there for years and I&#8217;ve always loved everything. Their haircuts are amazing, the facials are fantastic, and the massage was wonderful. Bobby also got a massage and he loved it.</p>
<p>While we were getting pampered, our <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/11/05/pardon-my-list/">Relocube</a> arrived. Now we have to unpack it. I&#8217;m going into the city tomorrow, but when I get home I think we&#8217;re going to try to start sorting through all of our stuff. It&#8217;ll be a big project.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite restaurant?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m in the middle of introducing my dad to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Rock">30 Rock</a>. Love this show. By the way, <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/10/24/a-noodly-noodley-intervention/">he liked Food, Inc. a lot</a>. He already eats mostly vegetarian (because of my siblings) and healthy foods, so it didn&#8217;t shock him too much.</p>
<p>Today we went up to Sausalito to be touristy. Bobby got this really good <strong>free-range, organic turkey burger</strong> from a place called <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/hamburgers-sausalito">Hamburgers</a>. Apparently it&#8217;s Britney Spears&#8217; favorite burger place (?).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4157 aligncenter" title="17 turkey burger" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/17-turkey-burger.JPG" alt="17 turkey burger" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if these <strong>fries</strong> were organic, but they certainly were delicious (especially with oodles of ketchup).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4156 aligncenter" title="18 fries" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/18-fries.JPG" alt="18 fries" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>Dad and I posed with a bird by the bay.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4151 aligncenter" title="19 me dad bird" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/19-me-dad-bird.JPG" alt="19 me dad bird" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>I opted for <strong>vanilla ice cream</strong> from <a href="http://www.lapperts.com/">Lappert&#8217;s</a>. Honestly? Not that great. It was $3.60 for this little cup and it was not worth it. It was boring and I&#8217;ve had much better.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4155 aligncenter" title="20 ice cream" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/20-ice-cream.JPG" alt="20 ice cream" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>Dinner was more interesting. After we got home we went out to <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/roll-house-santa-clara">Roll House</a>, a cheap and local Korean restaurant. We started off with <strong>side dishes </strong>(2 kimchis, a mayo waldorf salad thing, pickled daikon, and a fish cake dish that was super yum). Got seconds of some of these.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4154 aligncenter" title="21 side dishes" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/21-side-dishes.JPG" alt="21 side dishes" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>My <strong>dinner</strong> was <strong>Bi Bim Bap</strong> &#8211; fried egg, seaweed, cucumber, carrots, spinach, mushrooms, and some other things. I topped it with lots of red spicy sauce (love). When I lifted up the egg to mix it, I found a surprise &#8211; <strong><em>beef</em></strong>. Eek. I took it off and gave it to Bobby. I don&#8217;t like to send things back. I&#8217;m pretty sure I didn&#8217;t get it all off though. My meal also came with miso soup (upper right).</p>

<p>Bobby and my dad were full after dinner, but I had to get <strong>frozen yogurt</strong> to make up for my ice cream disappointment. Bobby did end up helping me a bit with this.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4152 aligncenter" title="23 frozen yogurt" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/23-frozen-yogurt.JPG" alt="23 frozen yogurt" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>It was green tea, regular tart, mango tart, and blueberry tart. Kiwis, strawberries, and pineapples for topping. Yum.</p>
<p>And for today&#8217;s <strong>exercise </strong>- this morning I did <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/01/07/refreshing-power-yoga-sequence/">Sadie Nardini&#8217;s 30 minute yoga routine &#8211; power half hour</a>. I LOVE Sadie&#8217;s routines. I can&#8217;t wait until I&#8217;m in New York and I can take her classes in person.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite exercise class?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right now I&#8217;m watching <strong><a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/07/25/new-fun-things-chipotle/">Food, Inc</a>.</strong> with my dad. I&#8217;m really glad he&#8217;s watching it&#8230; I&#8217;ll let you know what he thinks.</p>
<p><strong>Quick summary of our day</strong>: This morning my midterm went fine; I think my bowl of protein powder oats gave me some good brain power. We didn&#8217;t really do anything else terribly exciting today because I had to show our apartment at 1pm. We got Chipotle for lunch (Dad&#8217;s first time) &#8211; I got a veggie salad, Dad got a chicken bowl, and Bobby got a chicken burrito. After the showing we headed to Santana Row, an upscale shopping area in San Jose.</p>
<p>Sorry in advance for the crappy pictures &#8211; left my sweet camera at home and used the small one.</p>
<p>Tonight we went out for <strong>dinner</strong> with out cousins. We got <strong>Vietnamese</strong> at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/pho-nam-restaurant-sunnyvale-2" target="_blank">Pho Nam in Sunnyvale</a>. This place is great. I got #52, the <strong>Vermicelli with Shrimp</strong>. It came with veggies (lettuce, cilantro, carrots, cucumber), vermicelli (rice noodles), grilled shrimp (with oil), and a yummy fish sauce topping. We got (unpictured) spring rolls (fried and fresh) for the table as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4146 aligncenter" title="15 shrimp vermicelli" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/15-shrimp-vermicelli.JPG" alt="15 shrimp vermicelli" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>I thought this meal was fab &#8211; fresh, light, and pretty healthy. Dad got pork and shrimp vermicelli (similar to mine) and Bobby got beef pho (noodle soup). Bobby also got a <strong>strawberry shake</strong> &#8211; I thought it was pretty so I snapped a picture (and had some of course).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4147 aligncenter" title="14 strawberry shake" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/14-strawberry-shake.JPG" alt="14 strawberry shake" width="400" height="360" /></p>
<p><strong>Dessert</strong> was lots of fresh <strong>pineapple</strong> from Safeway (Thanks, Dad!).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4145 aligncenter" title="16 pineapple" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/16-pineapple.JPG" alt="16 pineapple" width="400" height="339" /></p>
<p>Just a <strong><em>reminder</em></strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t post about everything I eat; don&#8217;t think this was everything I ate today <img src='http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I have been eating this awesome <strong><em>smoked mozzarella cheese on apples</em></strong>. I&#8217;ll try to remember to take a picture next time I have it. And I still have to share that <strong><em><a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/10/21/recipe-goat-cheese-zucchini-frittata/">crazy chocolate treat</a></em></strong> that I got recently too.</p>
<p><strong>Have you had any cool new food finds lately?</strong></p>

</ul>
<p>We ordered 4 things to share. We got the <strong>mushroom mountain</strong> (no picture, but there are pics in just about every other post about Blue Mango!) &#8211; ”<em>soft tofu, baby corn, bamboo, straw mushroom and bean sprout stir-fried with a bit of green curry paste, sesame seed are sprinkled on for a beautiful finish</em>”. We also got <strong>Basil Chili Chicken</strong> (spiciness 7/10). Wonderful, as usual.</p>
<p align="center"><img style="margin: 5px" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/38-basil-chili-chicken.JPG" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>And a new dish &#8211; <strong>green curry</strong> (spiciness 5/10). This had prawns, eggplant, bamboo, red peppers, and maybe some other things. So creamy and satisfying. This is my new favorite. Bobby can&#8217;t decide between this and the mushroom mountain.</p>
<p align="center"><img style="margin: 5px" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/37-green-curry.JPG" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>We also got <strong>crab fried rice</strong>, which we usually get. This was both of our cousins&#8217; favorite.</p>
<p align="center"><img style="margin: 5px" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/36-crab-fried-rice.JPG" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>After dinner we headed next door to <a href="http://goldenspoon.com/">Golden Spoon</a>. Golden Spoon is one of the many California frozen yogurt shops, but it ranks among the best. The yogurt is creamy, ice-free, and basically a party in your mouth.</p>
<p align="center"><img style="margin: 5px" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/39-pumpkin-vanilla-frozen-yogurt.JPG" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>Bobby and I got the <strong>Pumpkin Pie (!) flavor and the classic vanilla</strong>. No toppings. I also tried Peanut Butter Cup, Cake Batter, and Raspberry. All delicious. The yogurt has about 25 calories in an ounce, and this size is supposed to be about 10 ounces. It was the perfect amount for two to share.</p>
<p>Today I think we are headed to the <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/09/08/japantown-eats/">Japantown Farmers&#8217; Market</a> (maybe with friends) and I want to get a facial.</p>
<p><strong>What was the last thing you did to pamper yourself?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember how <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/10/03/more-delica-yums-san-francisco-oatmeal-working-out/">I love Delica so much</a>? Delica is that awesome Japanese delicatessen located in the Ferry Building in San Francisco.</p>
<p>I finally figured out their recipe for the <strong>Spicy Burdock Root Salad</strong>. Their salad has lotus root, but I was all out. I subbed in water chestnuts instead. Theirs also has mizuna (a salad green), but I didn&#8217;t have that either so I just left it out. The ingredient list looks long, I know &#8211; <strong><em>but it&#8217;s really very simple</em></strong>. Texture is really important here, so make sure the onion and celery are both sliced very thinly. My mandoline helped me achieve the awesome textures, but a grater would work just as well; so would a lot of patience with a knife.</p>
<p>I kid you not &#8211; <strong>this will be the best salad you ever make</strong>.</p>
<p>FYI: <strong>Konnyaku</strong> is a Japanese yam&#8230; it&#8217;s the base of shirataki noodles. A block of konnyaku has <strong>0 calories</strong> (just like true shirataki noodles &#8211; not the tofu kind). It&#8217;s great for digestion and overall health. I get mine at my local Asian markets. It&#8217;s next to the miso. I would also check near the tofu, or near the refrigerated noodles. If you can&#8217;t find it, I guess you could substitute a different veggie or maybe some seitan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Maggie&#8217;s Spicy Burdock Salad</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3808" title="08 burdock salad" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/08-burdock-salad.jpg" alt="08 burdock salad" width="400" height="338" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Ingredients (serves 4-5 normal people&#8230; or 1-2 crazy salad eaters)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>2 cups of burdock, sliced up (I used a mandoline)</li>
<li>1 block of konnyaku, cut in small slices (or a different veggie or seitan)</li>
<li>1 small can of water chestnuts (6 ounces)</li>
<li>1 tablespoon oil (sesame)</li>
<li>1 inch of ginger, grated</li>
<li>chili powder and/or chili flakes, to taste (optional)</li>
<li>1 medium onion, finely sliced (mandoline)</li>
<li>4 stalks of celery, finely sliced (mandoline)</li>
<li>1/4 cup rice vinegar</li>
<li>1/3 cup water</li>
<li>1 tablespoon stevia (or other sweetener, to taste)</li>
<li>1 carrot, shredded</li>
<li>1 tablespoon sesame seeds</li>
<li>2 tablespoons Bragg&#8217;s liquid aminos (or soy sauce)</li>
<li>salt &amp; pepper, to taste</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Directions</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Boil the konnyaku slices in water for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse.</li>
<li>Heat the oil in a pan (wok) over high heat. Add the ginger and saute for 1 minute. Add the burdock, drained konnyaku slices, water chestnuts, and chili powder/flakes. Saute for about 5 minutes. You can reduce the heat to medium-high if you&#8217;re nervous about burning. When the burdock is tender enough to chew, remove it from the heat and let it cool.</li>
<li>Mix together the water, vinegar, and stevia. Soak the sliced onion and celery in the mix for 5 minutes, then drain.</li>
<li>Combine the burdock mix, the onion/celery mix, the carrot, sesame seeds, Bragg&#8217;s, and salt and pepper. Top with more sesame seeds, if desired. More sesame seeds are always desired by me.</li>
</ol>

<p>Om nom nom. Bobby and I <strong>devoured</strong> this. He actually said it was *better* than Delica&#8217;s salad. You MUST make this. If you are scared of any of the ingredients (burdock! konnyaku!) &#8211; don&#8217;t be. Burdock is amazing for you. <strong>Burdock health benefits</strong>: it&#8217;s good for the reproductive system, the skin, the digestive system, and it&#8217;s even anti-cancerous.

<p>I adore Asian/Eastern food. I love eating with chopsticks (way cooler than forks). If it were up to me, I would probably eat Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Thai food for every single meal. Oh wait&#8230; I pretty much do <img src='http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  The only difference is that I eat oatmeal or oat bran instead of rice, and I eat squash every single day. (Sounds kind of like a <a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/" target="_blank">cool vegan lady</a> I know.)</p>
<p><strong>What are your weird food quirks? What is your favorite food (cuisine or dish)?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Stay tuned for a silly picture and updates from this weekend&#8217;s apple picking adventures!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Wednesday Bobby and I were up in San Francisco again for a job interview (Bobby&#8217;s). We had to go to <a href="http://www.delicarf1.com/menu.html" target="_blank">Delica rf-1</a> again; we go there almost every time we are in SF. Delica is a sweet little Japanese deli/delicatessen with takeout foods. They have salads, bento boxes, soups, and other cute Japanese dishes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/09/29/san-francisco-eats/">I got almost the same thing as I did last time</a> (3 salad combo), except I doubled up on the <strong>Spicy Burdock Root Salad</strong> (A spicy mix of braised burdock and konnyaku (mountain potato) tossed with thin slices of white onion, celery, julienne carrots, and wild mizuna), and got a single a serving of <strong>Hijiki and Soybean Salad</strong> (Hijiki (seaweed rich in calcium, iron, and fiber) mixed with dried soybeans, edamame, konnyaku (mountain potato), daikon, wild mizuna, fried tofu, and kuko (wolfberry)).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3803 aligncenter" title="06 maggie delica" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/06-maggie-delica-400x265.jpg" alt="06 maggie delica" width="400" height="265" /></p>
<p>Bobby got the 2 salads + 1 main item combo (like last time). He opted for the <strong>Spicy Burdock Root Salad</strong> (this is our favorite), the <strong>Wasabi Garlic Potato Salad</strong> (Garlic potato salad with wasabi mayonnaise, edamame, snap peas, and romaine hearts), and for his main item he got <strong>Sweet &amp; Spicy Chicken</strong> (Marinated chicken, lightly fried, served with sweet &amp; spicy sauce).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3804 aligncenter" title="07 bobby delica" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/07-bobby-delica-400x265.jpg" alt="07 bobby delica" width="400" height="265" /></p>
<p>We split that iced tea.</p>
<p>I made my <strong><a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/09/30/recipe-rice-cooker-oatmeal/">rice cooker oats</a></strong> again for breakfast one day this week&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3802 aligncenter" title="05 oatmeal" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/05-oatmeal-400x325.jpg" alt="05 oatmeal" width="400" height="325" /></p>
<p>This time I topped them with chopped dates and a whole bunch of sesame seeds. I love adding sesame seeds to oats &#8211; they give a nice chew and crunch. I couldn&#8217;t decide which picture I liked better.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3801 aligncenter" title="04 oatmeal" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/04-oatmeal-400x342.jpg" alt="04 oatmeal" width="400" height="342" /></p>
<p>Have you tried <strong><a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/09/30/recipe-rice-cooker-oatmeal/">rice cooker oats</a></strong> yet?</p>
<p>You guys had some really good input about <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/10/01/good-bread-some-workouts/">my post regarding rest days</a>. I continued my pattern of unintentional and/or fun workouts the last few days &#8211; I had my <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/10/02/dragon-fruit-roasted-seaweed-friends/">accidental 5 mile walk</a> on Thursday, yesterday I did 20 minutes of <strong>Tom Morley yoga</strong> and about a mile of walking (I consider yesterday a very lazy day; I just walked to the grocery store but got too much stuff and Bobby had to pick me up), and so far today I did a 35 minute video &#8211; <strong>Self: Slim and Sleek, Fast</strong>! Bobby has class all day so I&#8217;m on my own. We were going to go to a pumpkin festival but that will probably happen tomorrow instead.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, <a href="http://graduatemeghann.com/2009/10/02/rest-day-and-my-first-siab/" target="_blank">Meghann</a> and <a href="http://www.KathEats.com/missing-goat-cheese/" target="_blank">Kath</a> both posted about non-rest rest days yesterday! Their opinions were similar to mine. Remember to check out <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/workout/">my workout page</a> if you ever want to see what I&#8217;ve been doing. And don&#8217;t forget about <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/yoga/">my yoga page</a> &#8211; it has lots of great (free) yoga resources. I should probably update it because I&#8217;ve found some more (free) sites.</p>
<p>Another post I enjoyed reading was <a href="http://carrotsncake.com/2009/10/glorious-muffins.html" target="_blank">Tina&#8217;s post this morning</a> &#8211; she ate a pretty amazing looking muffin for breakfast. Muffins are actually one of my favorite foods, but I don&#8217;t really eat them that often. She reminded me that I should definitely treat myself occasionally! Back at Cornell, Bobby and I used to go to a cafe called Mate Factor and they had the most amazing muffins. This is their raspberry one (old picture). I&#8217;ve posted about Mate Factor <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2008/05/23/day-2-in-ithaca-thursday/">HERE</a> and <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2008/02/24/salmon-bagel-from-mate/">HERE</a> and <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2008/02/14/belgian-waffles-with-whipped-cream/">HERE</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3805 aligncenter" title="16 raspberry muffin" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/16-raspberry-muffin-400x300.jpg" alt="16 raspberry muffin" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m off to shower and enjoy this lovely fall Saturday. What are your plans? What&#8217;s your favorite muffin?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have some new foods for you guys to check out. I&#8217;ve seen <strong>dragon fruit</strong> on <a href="http://balancejoyanddelicias.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Coco&#8217;s blog</a>, so when I saw it at 99 Ranch (Chinese grocery store), I knew I should try it. It was $3.49/pound. I think this fruit was about $2. I should really look for dragon fruit recipes. Any suggestions?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3834 aligncenter" title="03-dragonfruit-400x343" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/03-dragonfruit-400x343.jpg" alt="03-dragonfruit-400x343" width="400" height="343" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I cut it in half and took off the peel; then I cut it in pieces and ate it plain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3836" title="02 cut dragonfruit" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/02-cut-dragonfruit-400x383.jpg" alt="02 cut dragonfruit" width="400" height="383" /></p>
<p>It was kind of boring. It wasn&#8217;t very sweet, and didn&#8217;t have a very distinct flavor. I guess dragon fruit just isn&#8217;t my thing. It was worth a shot though. I hear that it&#8217;s better chilled (?). Here&#8217;s some dragon fruit nutrition information&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Dragon fruit</strong> is also called <strong>pitaya</strong>. In Chinese it&#8217;s <strong>huǒ lóng guǒ</strong> (火龍果/火龙果), which means fire dragon fruit, or <strong>lóng zhū guǒ</strong> (dragon pearl fruit). In Vietnamese it&#8217;s <strong>thanh long</strong> (green dragon). The redder the fruit, the more Vitamin C it has. It&#8217;s also a good source of fiber, phosphorus, and calcium. Dragonfruit has albumin antioxidants, which are helpful for preventing cancer. It&#8217;s pretty versatile &#8211; diabetics in Taiwan sometimes eat it instead of rice. Dragon fruit is very low calorie.</p>
<p>If you hadn&#8217;t noticed,<strong><em> my new favorite photo place is outside on my balcony</em></strong>. I balance food on the thin railing, which scares Bobby&#8230; but it usually gives me perfect lighting.</p>
<p>I found something to make up for the dragon fruit disappointment though&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3835" title="01 korean roasted seaweed" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/01-korean-roasted-seaweed-400x352.jpg" alt="01 korean roasted seaweed" width="400" height="352" /></p>
<p><strong>Korean Roasted Seaweed</strong>! These come in packs of 3 and they were on sale for $1 per pack (of 3). The ingredients are just seaweed, oil, and salt. They are crispy and very slightly oily (not overly so) which gives them a nice flavor. I used to go through packs of these like crazy, but for some reason I stopped buying them a while ago.</p>
<p>I picked up these seaweed treats and a bunch of other goodies at 99 Ranch last night when I met up with my new bloggie friend, <a href="http://www.onescoopatatime.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Linda</a>. I met her at the <a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/09/29/san-francisco-eats/">KERF meetup on Sunday</a> and it turns out she lives pretty close. I actually met up with another new friend yesterday too; we walked and talked and got yummy tea together. I accidentally ended up walking about 5 miles. I love making new friends <img src='http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>How do you usually meet new people?</strong></p>
<p>P.S. I got on <a href="http://foodgawker.com/post/2009/10/01/39034/" target="_blank">Foodgawker</a> and <a href="http://www.tastespotting.com/" target="_blank">Tastespotting</a> yesterday! I love my new camera!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I actually made this dish last week, but hadn&#8217;t gotten around to posting it until now. <a href="http://yogiclarebear.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Clare</a> sent me a fresh delicata squash from her garden (!) for my birthday and this is how I used it up. I made rice for Bobby and I roasted a delicata with some olive oil, dill, and cinnamon for me. Then I poured in the curry. I also added <strong>parmesan</strong>&#8230; because who doesn&#8217;t love parm?</p>
<p>As usual, feel free to switch up the veggies. I think the cauliflower is pretty essential for all curries, but do what you like. This recipe is particularly simple because you can get curry paste at any local Asian market. This was my first time using it. Depending on what protein you use, this can be vegetarian or vegan.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m submitting this to the <a href="http://balancejoyanddelicias.wordpress.com/2009/09/27/week-50-blogger-secret-ingredient-is-cauliflower/" target="_blank">Blogger Secret Ingredient contest, hosted this week by Coco! She picked cauliflower</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Indian Curry</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3776" title="22 chicken curry delicata" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/22-chicken-curry-delicata-400x265.jpg" alt="22 chicken curry delicata" width="400" height="265" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1/4 cup curry paste</li>
<li>2 cups water</li>
<li>1 cup cubed white potato</li>
<li>2 cups chopped cauliflower</li>
<li>1 carrot, sliced</li>
<li>1/2 red bell pepper, chopped</li>
<li>8 ounces protein (tofu, chicken, etc&#8230; we used frozen chicken thighs from Trader Joe&#8217;s)</li>
<li>1/3 cup milk/coconut milk/kefir/yogurt (<strong><em>optional</em></strong>)</li>
<li>parmesan, yogurt, sour cream, or other cheese for topping (<strong><em>optional</em></strong>)</li>
<li><strong><em>base</em></strong> &#8211; rice, squash, or other carby-carb.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Directions</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Boil the water in a soup pan. Add the curry paste and mix well. Add the potato and protein. Cook for about 5 minutes</li>
<li>Add the rest of the veggies and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they&#8217;re tender. If they aren&#8217;t covered by the broth, don&#8217;t worry &#8211; they shrink down. You can also add the milk at this point. I added a little bit of kefir and it came out well.</li>
<li>Ladle the veggies, meat, and a whole lot of broth over rice or squash. Top with parmesan.</li>
</ol>

<p>This meal was very satisfying on a chilly fall night. I had both halves of my delicata filled with curry. Bobby has been obsessed with the rice I&#8217;ve been making lately&#8230; want to know <strong>the secret</strong>? I add some salt and pepper while cooking, and then when it&#8217;s done I drop in a tablespoon of butter and mix it up while it melts.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/2009/09/29/does-cooking-make-us-human/">If you missed my post yesterday, you should check it out now. I got a lot of really great responses. I talked about whether or not a raw food diet is actually &#8220;natural&#8221; or not, based on a primatologist&#8217;s research. The question was, Does cooking make us human?</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Sunday&#8217;s blogger meetup we went to a cozy little cafe called <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/bread-and-cocoa-san-francisco-2">Bread &amp; Cocoa</a> on Sutter Street in San Francisco. How could I resist the $2.99 <strong>oatmeal</strong>?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3766 aligncenter" title="28 oatmeal" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/28-oatmeal.JPG" alt="28 oatmeal" width="400" height="375" /></p>
<p>It was a humongous bowl, so I went pretty easy on the toppings. I had r<strong>aisins, almonds, and in-house granola</strong>. I also added a little bit of <strong>skim milk</strong>. I actually managed to finish all but 1 bite of this gigantic bowl of oats. I brought the bloggies some homemade tea bags&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3765 aligncenter" title="27 tea presents" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/27-tea-presents.JPG" alt="27 tea presents" width="400" height="265" /></p>
<p>For lunch we went to the <a href="http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/">Ferry Building</a> to get our favorite &#8211; <a href="http://www.delicarf1.com/menu.html">Delica rf-1</a>. It&#8217;s a Japanese delicatessen with the most amazing salads. I got the 3-salad combo; Bobby got the 2-salad + a main item combo. Bobby got <strong>Wasabi Garlic Potato Salad</strong> (Garlic potato salad with wasabi mayonnaise, edamame, snap peas, and romaine hearts), <strong>Spicy Burdock Root Salad</strong> (A spicy mix of braised burdock and konnyaku (mountain potato) tossed with thin slices of white onion, celery, julienne carrots, and wild mizuna), and for the main item he got <strong>Tofu &amp; Chicken Patty with Hijiki</strong> (Free-range chicken and organic tofu patty with hijiki seaweed and carrot; served in a sweet soy sauce).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3767 aligncenter" title="29 bobby delica" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/29-bobby-delica.JPG" alt="29 bobby delica" width="400" height="265" /></p>
<p>I got the <strong>Spicy Burdock Root Salad</strong>, and a double serving of <strong>Hijiki and Soybean Salad</strong> (Hijiki (seaweed rich in calcium, iron, and fiber) mixed with dried soybeans, edamame, konnyaku (mountain potato), daikon, wild mizuna, fried tofu, and kuko (wolfberry)).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3768 aligncenter" title="30 maggie delica" src="http://www.thesaladgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/30-maggie-delica.JPG" alt="30 maggie delica" width="400" height="265" /></p>
<p>I think we go to Delica almost every time we head up to San Francisco. It is probably the best food I have ever eaten. I&#8217;m not kidding. It&#8217;s that good. We&#8217;re heading up to SF tomorrow so I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll be back.</p>
<p><strong>What is your favorite restaurant, and where is it? What do you get?</strong></p>
