Toss the following together:

• Finally chopped kale
• 1- 2 tablespoons of EVOO
• Juice of half a lemon (or so)
• Teaspoon of chili poder
• One Half teaspoon of salt

Quick Note on why I LOVE technology...

I am currently working on a case study for a finance class that involves quantifying the network effect, as well as viral growth and user retention for Facebook. With a plethora of sources on the internet, I was not concerned about whether I would find the metrics I was looking for... but admittedly, was a bit worried about how long it would take me to narrow it down!
