Kale-do you know what it is?
« on: August 10, 2017, 04:21:26 PM »
There has been a kale fad going on for awhile.
Unfortunately my wife caught the kale bug and likes to make salads with it.

Let me give you some advice about Kale.

I made a deal with my Wife.

I will eat fresh Spinach, as long as she never buys one leaf of Kale.  That stuff is simply nasty.  Good fresh Spinach is not bad.  I am talking the small leaf variety.

Most people don't know to cook spinach or kale. Both of them are delicious when you add fish, shrimp, chicken etc to them.

Garlicky beans and greens is best with kale.  :)

Would you be willing to work for hire for negotiations with mine?  Kale.  And Avocado.  Just don't understand the obsession with either.

Fresh spinach (or even canned if it's washed and drained) sautéed in a skillet with butter, garlic, and crushed red pepper seeds is awesome. Always ate spinach with vinegar until I cooked it that way. Kale is ok steamed with cracked pepper and vinegar. Now Brussel sprouts.......bury them in a shallow unmarked grave.

This is how it werks.  1) Get sum kale seeds.  2) ask wife where she wants the kale plant. 3) plant kale 4) pick kale and give to wife. 5) repeat step 4 until wife never wants to see kale again.

Chocolate Dipped Kale

Heat up some chocolate until it is a liquid.  Swirl the kale around in it coating everything.  Place on wax paper put in freezer to harden and cool.  Take it out of the freezer, hit it with a hammer so the chocolate pops off.  Eat the chocolate, throw the kale away.

Anything tastes good with enough ranch on it.  The cruciferous vegetables are extremely healthy.  Eat as much as you can, especially raw.  Kale is similar to cabbage in its texture and toughness.

Kale, spinach, cauliflower... I like them all if they're prepared properly. As hgtonyvi said, most people don't know to cook spinach or kale. Or nettle, which is a good substitute for spinach...

There's an old recipe for making good food: Take one lbs butter and a litre of cream, plus the normal amount of ingredients for four. Sauté the ingredients in the butter and add the cream.

Another good recipe is the Lappish Loon Soup, as told by the Sami huntsmen:

Take one loon. Put four litres of fresh water into a kettle. Heat to boil. Cook the loon in the water for ten minutes. Throw the water away.
Put three litres of fresh water into the kettle, add a handful of grass. Heat to boil. Cook the loon for five minutes. Throw the water away.
Put two litres of milk into the kettle. UHT, pasteurized or cow milk, whatever you have.  Heat to boil. Cook the loon for one minute. Throw the milk away.
Put one litre of good clear spirit into the kettle. Let the loon simmer for a few seconds. Throw the loon away.
Enjoy the soup.

Like any man needs another Wife to deal with. :)

I don't get the Avocado either.  When she makes guacamole I have to suppress long lost thoughts of what it was like to change baby diapers.  *shudderzzzz*

Don't understand how anyone doesn't like good guacamole.  That is good stuff.


2 ripe avocados
1 ripe medium tomato, pulp removed and diced
1 jalapeno, chopped fine
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt


Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Mash and mix to desired consistency
