November 15

Remember that former supervisor issue I was having at work?  Today my actual supervisor witnessed it firsthand, so now it seems the former will be staying clear.  Problem solved.  A much more peaceful workday. *sigh of relief*

Got home and watched the DVR.  Found kohlrabi (my new obsession) at a farmers market in Portland, so today I made the apple & kohlrabi slaw that I am in love with.  Sooooooooo good.

If you haven't had kohlrabi, it's a veggie that's related to cabbage, but tastes a bit like broccoli.  I am fascinated by this vegetable that is bred.  Here is the yummy recipe I found:

• One bulb of kohlrabi
• One Granny Smith apple
• 2 teaspoons brown mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt
• Pepper

PREP / ASSEMBLY:

Cut the kohlrabi into matchsticks. Quarter and core the apple. You can peel it if you want, but I didn't want to. You can cut the apple any way you want, really - I went with a very rough julienne and didn't care when some of them turned into chunks.

Then just whisk together the dressing in a medium prep bowl, adjust the seasonings to your taste, and toss the apple and kohlrabi until it's thoroughly coated in the dressing.

Started feeling pretty drowsy, so I went ahead and took a nap mid-afternoon.  Didn't want to get out of bed when I woke up, so I didn't.  In fact, I didn't get out of bed until right before I had to teach voice lessons.  One more lesson to teach tonight and then heading to bed.
