desperanceSo I made khasi momos for dinner tonight (from Andrea Nguyen's Asian Dumplings), and they were a great success. Traditionally they should be made with water-buffalo meat, but that's thin on the ground here in Sunnyvale, so I used bison. Just sayin'.
On a more serious dietary question, though, Karen and I have both watched this TEDx video from Dr Terry Wahls. Now I have no problem with her general eating-greens-is-good-for-you thesis, and I am fully prepared to believe the science behind it; but this is eating-greens-is-a-miracle-cure territory, and I have more trouble with that, mostly because I am suspicious of miracle cures in general and fad diets in particular. Her own experience is interesting but insufficient on its own. On the other hand, the internet isn't full of howling voices calling her a quack (or if it is, I can't find them). But neither is it full of peer-reviewed clinical studies confirming what she says (or if it is, I can't find them). Does anybody know anything about this? Because it is relevant to my interests...
