Roasted Kale

Roasted Kale: One of the Tastiest Kale Recipes You’ll Ever Find.

Or, well, not.

I have a subscription to a CSA that brings me tasty, mostly, veggies every week. Part of the reason the veggies are tasty is that I tell them which ones I want. Unfortunately, what with 12th night, last weekend I forgot to put my order in, and so I got the default “box o’veggies”. Unfortunately, at this time of year? That means, I got kale.

As many people know, veggies and I don’t normally exist on speaking terms, except with a rare few exceptions. Kale was not on that list. But there it was, taking up space in my fridge… so it was time to hit up google.

I figured I knew I didn’t like just “cooked greens”, as it were, and everyone swears brussel sprouts get better when you roast them, so when I found this recipe? well, I didn’t think it was going to be a winner, per se, but I was hoping for edible.

Not so much. To quote Nick: “There’s a reason “kale” rhymes with “fail”.

At least the potatoes were good (see next entry…)

Poppea Velvet from Silk Trading Company

So someone on h-cost posted a link to this company (click the picture) earlier today.

It’s completely unfair that to make a houppelande out of it (it’s 100% silk) it’d cost me something more than a mortgage payment.

I really ought to be able to dress myself in the style of my persona.

Even if my persona has scads of money. And I don’t.
