(Enough With The Gardening Already)
Fri Feb 27 2009

Oh all right.

How about this instead?

[album 65561 Farm Box February.JPG]

Yippee!
The delivery guy just came with all my bounty. He was a new guy. I like him. He gave me the wrong box and came back to exchange it, but I like him anyway.

I am going to make Krispy Kale with that bunch of kale in the lower right hand corner. I think I have mentioned it before, but I'm telling you, it's one of my favorite things now.

Wash a bunch of kale.
Let it dry off.
 Cut the center stem out of the whole length of the leaves.
Cut into pieces, medium sized.
Put them in a bowl and drizzle a very modest amount of olive oil and toss to coat.
It doesn't take much.
One Tablespoon should be plenty.
Spread the leaves out on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Sprinkle kosher salt on them.
[Really use kosher salt. It is too easy to salt too much with regular table salt because it's so fine.]
Bake at about 375 for 10 minutes or so.
 Might have to go 12. Depends on your oven.
 Don't let them get brown or anything.
When they are crispy, take them out. 
They are delicious. 
The healthiest 'potato chips' you have ever eaten.

Okay, I have to go now, I have a date with a bunch of kale.

(I TRIED to set the tone for something different, and here we are with vegetables. . .and recipes. I cannot seem to distract her. The little flibbertigibbet.)

    I have once a month delivery. Keep watching for a box on the patio, just any day now. Maybe today.

    Kale. I've never known what to do with it. When I got some in a box, I gave it away. And box choy.

    I think I'm going to go "Mostly Fruit."

    Isn't the produce just the Best?!

    I have some "Green Bags." They really work!! If you don't have any, you might want to watch for an offering on TV or on the 'net.


    Bless

    I adore crispy kale but it's hard to get decent kale here. I'm considering growing some this year. Those artichokes look really yummy. Don't forget to eat the meat in the lower part of the petal (I'm sure you know this but a lot of people think the heart is the only edible part).


    P.S. Dear (),
    It's not your fault. She's just built that way

    Just look at those artichokes!
    You never get them that tightly closed at the store.
    I'm drooling over here...

    Give it up ( ). She is a homesteader at heart.

    I have to go play with my new needles and yarn now.
    Thanks again for the petable yarn. :o)
    Love, Tiggs
