Battle Kale
Every time I go to a farmers market, it's a live Iron Chef episode. What fruit or vegetable will be at almost every booth and in varied colors? This week's secret ingredient: KALE.

Next time I'll hit the preview button. Here's the same comment, with typos corrected for clarity:
ReplyDeleteI think of kale not as a flower but as a tobacco bed border. Every year, after Daddy planted the tobacco seeds in the beds behind the barn and covered them with "tobacco cottons" that were tethered to logs that formed the edge of the beds, he'd plant kale along the outside of the logs. Daddy, not Mommy, would pick the kale for a dinner dish: Mommy had learned to cook it the way Grandmom did: with salt, pepper, a square of bacon--and to an inch of its life.
Mom, your comment is so amazing and something I never knew and I am so glad I now do that I forgive your inability to use blog technology 100% correctly on the first try.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this! I was scared of the kale this weekend. I thought it was GORGEOUS, but I definitely didn't know what I'd do with it.
I want to try making kale chips: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/potato-and-kale-chips-with-lemon-mayonnaise-recipe/index.html.
