kale

My neighbor brought me some garden tomatoes. Delish.

I offered him some kale in return.

"Kale?" What's that? He asked.

"Um. It's a leafy green, full of vitamins, very nutritious. Like cabbage," I explained, ineffectually.

"I'll pass. Here, take these tomatoes! I just had a pop!" he said.

"A pop?" I asked, thinking, I don't think he means popsicles.

"A pop! C & C!"

Oh, that's some kind of alcohol, I thought. No wonder he's so friendly and expansive.

The tomatoes were delicious. I had them for supper.

Recipe:

Saute garlic in olive oil. Add a bunch of kale, chopped finely. Add crumbled red hot peppers and a handful of walnuts. Saute.

Cook pasta: whole wheat linguine, perhaps, to al dente. Strain and add to kale mixture. Saute, add parmesan cheese. Yum...

That was supper, except for parm. I'm off the parm. I crave it, think how much better everything would be with parm. *sigh* It was a very good supper. Kale.
