so i'm trying a new diet for my migraines; i'm visiting a homeopathic healer. (before i hear any nay-saying, i'll let you try out migraines everyday - when you're in pain all the time, you'll try ANYTHING.) :-)so one of the things i'm supposed to get a lot of is greens - and also seaweed or kelp. now, i've had seaweed before, with sushi. i didn't remember it as well as i thought. or maybe the rice and other flavors kind of covered it up.
but i'm meant to 'snip sea veggies' onto soups when i eat them. i can do that, right? this is just about at my cooking level. so i've got my miso soup, and i take the dried seaweed out of its package.
(to understand what i'm talking about in this little conversation, best to take a look at the link up there; nori on wikipedia.)
spencer asks me, 'is that hashish?'
i tell him, 'yes, but it's mine'
'for medicinal purposes?' he asks.
'of course!' and we both laugh.
the laughter stops when the sea veggies hit the soup, because holy cow that smells bad. i'm not a good enough writer to think of a good description. spencer has the luxury of being able to leave the room, me, i've got to eat this horrid smelly soup now.
in more cheery news, it really smells worse than it tastes.
and in another case of my sister coming to the rescue, she's given me a great way to use it: making rice balls. will need to give this a shot.
