Steamy Vegeta

I've been such a big fan of Dragon Balls eversince I was a bored 10 year-old living in the small town of Duenas. RPN Channel 8 was the only channel airing it. Goku, Bulma, and the rest of the Z fighters always lightened my weeknights. This group of fighters was gathering the seven dragon balls which have been scattered all over the universe by the dragon, Shen Long. It wasn't an easy feat because the fighters had to go from one adventure to another in order to gather the balls. Goku of the Saiyan race, dubbed as the best fighter in the universe was always one step ahead of his enemies who incidentally also wanted to claim the dragon balls. 

Enter Vegeta. I am not very sure now if Vegeta was in the Dragon Ball series or in the Dragon Ball Z. But man, he's just the guy you love to hate. He's your ultimate coldhearted villain who would do everything just to get what he wants, in this case, the dragon balls. He's the bad guy alright, but he's also my favorite character in DBZ! His bad guy image is just so darn sexy. :)

I was surprised, though, that Vegeta ended up with Bulma. Who would have thought?! They're from two opposing poles. Bulma, after all is one of the good 'guys.' I realized, however that the two have a lot in common. Their compatibility comes from the fact that they're both hot-tempered, egoistic, and good-looking. You attract your own attractiveness, so I guess it's logical that they ended up with each other. 

Speaking of steamy Vegeta, steamed vegetables are going to be part of my daily meal this opening in June!

Everytime I'll eat, I think I'll always be reminded of steamy Vegeta. ;)

Lettuce and Cauliflower Bhaji (Indian dish)

I can't seem to get enough of cauliflower. It's rich in Vitamin A and dietary fiber and it tastes good whether it's boiled, steamed, sauteed, and even raw (though I still have to try it that way). Its name is from Latin caulis which means cabbage and flower. It is by no means pretty although it is a flower, but we have to give this vegetable credit for being such a healthy delicacy.
