KITCHEN



When I was in LA, one of my best friends (that's him) and I used to spend hours upon hours of days upon days keeping ourselves busy and happy.  We both seemed to have the same amount of free time (a lot) and similar interests, and always had a blast.  Inevitably, we would get hungry and turn to spending or scavenging for food.  One day while I was busy with Beautiful Katamari, he read my mind and came out of the kitchen with the most amazing salad he had just "come up with."  It was so good that I stole the recipe, and have now made it dozens of times.  Everything you need is at Trader Joe's...if you can manage the walk from Larrabee to Westbourne.  LOVE YOU LUCA!

A hobby of mine is cooking.  It is not a frequent hobby, but I enjoy it from time to time and have developed a fun way tackle what can often times be a laborious chore:  I try to make up 4-ingredient dishes.  I'm not sure if it is because I like the challenge of finding the right 4 elements or because I am lazy.  Either way...

Here is a simple recipe for a delicious little meal/salad.  I have made it a few times for and with a few people and it has never disappointed.  For those of you with Top Chef taste but Hell's Kitchen skills, TRY THIS AT HOME!


VEGAN/RAW ENDIVE SALAD



What You Will Need

*Chopped Black Walnuts  
 *Belgian Endives         
*Goddess Dressing       
*Pitted Dates           



  Toast the walnuts.
Chop the dates. 
Chop the Endive.
(secret:  burn the walnuts a little - trust me)

            


Mix the toasted walnuts and chopped dates so the dates aren't too sticky, and arrange the endive in a large bowl.














Toss the walnuts/dates, endive, and dressing together when you are ready to eat it up!


ENJOY
