I snapped some sugar snap peas right out of Jenn’s garden tonight, and it totally whetted my appetite for this week’s CSA basket. Add mushrooms, strawberries, spring onions and carrots, and there are some mighty fine meals heading my way this week.
But, this week also has a choice of kale or swiss chard - ooh, talk about Sophie’s choice! If this keeps up, I may make it far enough down Gloria’s recipe list to get to kale soft serve. In case you also got the Greensgrow newsletter, and were wondering how the kale chips they suggested last week came out:
In the immortal words of Fidel Gastro, why did I eat this? I felt like I was being punished for some past crime by my tongue. They tasted exactly as good as they look.
But seriously, folks. Can any of you recommend a place that makes really good kale or swiss chard? Like, good enough that a lifelong greens hater might be turned around? This is basically the method I have used to change my opinion on nearly all vegetables, so I’m all ears. Tell me where to go and what to order — maybe kale and I just need the right matchmaker!
