Selectatarian selection #1

Back in the fall, I was hangin' with my friend and his 5 year-old daughter, and he asked her, "Honey, what does a superhero do?" "He fights the bad guys" she answered like any 5 year year old. This friend of mine is a very enthusiastic canvasser for an environmental non-profit. Later, we asked his daughter "What does Daddy do?", she answered "He fights the bad guys!" Daddy's in the superhero business, working to keep poop out of water and pesticides out of schools. This super-cute exchange reminded me that we all need to do our part to stop the evil forces from destroying our world.

I always dread being asked "so what do you DO?" Although they are probably referring to my job, I'm tempted to answer "Oh, you know, I'm a superhero." which then requires a little explanation, since not everyone is as concerned about the corporations and politicians that are profitting from the destruction of life around the world. Luckily, I just started waitressing again, so I'll be servin' up BBQ with a smile by day. And at night? My superhero battery needs a little recharge.
Maybe I'll start with:

Raw Dragon Rolls

1 Collard Green leaf - stalks cut off the bottom (4-6 inches long leaf)
1 Tbs. Raw Almond Butter
3 Tbs. Kimchi - preferrably fresh, without the fish
measurements can be altered to cooks preference

Lay the collard creen, darker side down.
Smear the almond butter all over the leaf.
Add the kimchi, make sure to strain the liquid back into the jar.
Roll up the leaf (fold natural end of leaf over, then roll like a little sushi roll or burrito)

Mmmm. Enjoy.

If you let these sit in a tupperwear and then eat them as a snack in the park or at work, the juice from the kimchi does a nice thing to the collards.
