Possession of Excessive Greenery

No, I haven't fallen off the map, I've just been busy doing mostly normal things of doubtful interest to most. Like spending $30 on pickles at the Harvest Fair. Once I saw those Victory's Garden jars, I was like, "How much money is in my wallet RIGHT NOW?" And damn, that thirty dollars just flew right out. Right, now I realize that I can no longer ( Read more... )

They really are the best pickles ever. We went out and bought a case. If Victory Gardens came to town every week, we'd probably wind up spending half our disposable income on pickles.

I have a shockingly delicious kale tip: make Kale Crisp. Wash it, and chop it to bits the size of, oh, your thumbnail. Throw it on a baking pan (with edges to prevent loss) that has been coated with olive oil, sprinkle it with salt, and bake it in a 400 degree oven, stirring and watching it carefully as it steams away, and after a while (depends on how much you have: a big head may take twenty minutes), it becomes a delicious, crunchy texture. Not chewy at all, super-snacky. Astoundingly righteous for a vegetable I usually consider only appropriate for ornamenting displays of raw fish.
