If you love kale like I love kale, which is quite a freaking lot, then you will love this recipe published in this week's Seven Days newspaper. It's at the end of an article about local Eat More Kale guy, Bo Muller-Moore. As printed in Seven Days:

Lesbian Kale Sauce
Submitted by Holly Rae Taylor
This originated with Anya Schwartz — who probably got it from some hippie cookbook — but I came up with the name, so I think that counts for something. I've never actually seen it written, so I'm kinda winging it here.
Mix together:
5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
5 tablespoons tamari
2 dashes sesame oil
3 tablespoons water
1 nub ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tablespoon wasabi
½ cup toasted sesame seeds (toast the seeds with a pinch of sea salt; sprinkle some seeds in the sauce and the rest on the kale)
Adjust everything to taste
Two perfectly acceptable ways to enjoy Lesbian Kale Sauce:
1. Dip steaming hot steamed kale directly into sauce, one fork- or chopstickful at a time
2. Pour sauce over a big beautiful bowl of steamed kale, toss, and serve!

The Lesbian Kale sauce sounds mighty tasty, but, yikes, that's a lot of wasabi. I don't think my girlfriend and I are quite that hardcore. But I'm definitely going to keep this in mind next time I buy kale.
I have no idea what you'd do with a Lamborghini Superdo.
I showed my ex the car picture and she immediately knew it was a Lamborghini, without seeing the text. "The lines," she explained. It reminded her of the time she rode in her brother-in-law's Ferrari. The engine is in the back, behind the seats, and she said it was like having a wild animal behind you. And at 110 mph, the animal wasn't even breathing hard.
God, I love kale.
Sonya, I do tend to overdo it on wasabi. I'm not sure if that makes me hardcore or just a glutton for punishment. Enjoy!
Hey, Anonymous, sounds like you have a really cool ex!
I don't know if it was reading the previous comment on the hairy woodpecker post or the heady combo of lesbian and sauce in a title (major points for that one), but I completely misread the text "376 pound-feet of torque" the first time around as "376 pound-feet of tongue".
We don't really cook in our household, but somehow Margo's misreading has made me very, very interested in kale sauce.
