kale

I'm on this weird kale kick.

What's your favorite recipe? Micah likes it juiced with ginger. I like a kale fritatta: sauteed in olive oil with garlic and happy (free range) eggs. I read a recipe online: spray with olive oil and bake into crisps. I had kale salad from Whole Foods last week, chopped and doused with sesame dressing.

I love the dense curly greenness of it, in this cold white winter that is Maine. I like the price, bought a bouquet of kale at Whole Foods for $2. Bought a showcase armload today at local grocer for $1.47.

You can think vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber, OK. Boring. Or just go with the crunchy deliciousness. The intense green in a season of grey and white. Kale.
