It's a rainy, chilly day in Seattle and I'm eating miso soup made from your excellent recipe a second day in a row. If I do say so myself, it's better than any miso soup I've had in a restaurant - so thank you very much for the recipe! Deborah Hi Carolyn,

Nice to meet you! Though not a science nerd myself (I wish!), I am from a proud family of science nerds. And I know enough about medicine to realize that I am very glad that OTHER people go to med school, so thanks for doing that. See you around here again soon. Hi Veronica, thanks for your comment.

Wow - after following your blog for months and months, I can't believe I just read this page! I'm a Princeton alumna, too, so naturally I immediately got excited when I read this section! I graduated in 2010 and now attend medical school. Apart from being a science nerd and aspiring to be a doctor, I have always been fascinated with food, architecture, and interior design. So, your blog allows me to live vicariously through you! All the best, Veronica Hi Carolyn! Wow – after following your blog for months and months, I can’t believe I just read this page!

Any food writer should be proud of sparking a love affair, particularly with a vegetable, but when the star crossed pair includes a dark green cruciferous vegetable avoided by many in the over 30 set, & a 6.5 year old, then it is a feat to be recorded: Part I - (Nov '10) Sam comes to your house for dinner & is served meltingly unctuous kale with carmelized onions, blue cheese & walmuts( cider vineger & chicken broth also important umamai ingredients). Sam avoids walnuts, even in brownies & chocolate chip cookies- but inhaled the kale despite their presence. Part II - (Dec '10) Determined not to let the chance slip, and despite Dad's recent remark that kale is not his favorite vegetable - Sam's mom prepares mutipple versions of this dish - admittedly somewhat simplified ( carmelized would not describe the onions) Sam continues to inhale this dish. He likes it as a side or on top of pasta, and does not appear to notice the absence of blue cheese. Part III (Jan 13, 2011)Sam is a lover of pasta, and the times he enjoys his rice have increased haltingly - but mom is tired one day and happens to come across the exact amount of arborio rice for 2 people - one pot instead of two & the use of a leftover ingredient is so appealing....could she dare to serve risotto where the main featured ingredienn our leafy friend> YES! Sam, who has eschewed risotto in the past - is licking the bowl. Part IV (Jan 15,2011) Emboldened by recent sucess - Sam's mom institutes a new saturday morning ritual - vegetable prep. Sam is informed it is his job to help and he patiently tears leaves from our leafy curly friend of 2 & helps make kale chips - and LOVES THEM. Watch out smart puffs - a new competitor is on the scene..... Umami girl, thank you!!! Carolyn-
