Kale Chips

IMG_5304_sm
Recently kale’s become quite a phenomenon, which is fine by me, even if finding kale chips in the snack food aisle still weirds me out.  It’s quite possibly my favorite green, not because it’s packing with all sorts of awesome stuff but because it tastes so good, particularly when it’s been dehydrated or toasted up.There are lots of kale chip recipes out there, but my favorite ones will always be the ones at Making Love in the Kitchen.  The idea behind making kale chips isn’t any different from making fries or any other sort of roasted goodness, which is a good thing because I’ve been bending the rules.  It’s a bit like playing a game of chicken, how much kale can I fit in one glass baking pan, at how high a temperature before the kale burns between checks (generally at 10 – 15 minute intervals).  The best results will always be at the original 300* with a thin layer of kale cooked until crispy.  If you’re up for eating mass amounts (or would like to have some leftover for tomorrow) heaping a 9x13 full of kale at 350* (375* if you’re not using glass) and tossing every 10 or so minutes means you’ll have three or four times more kale in about half an hour.

Teaser Tuesday - April 14th

"My mother would never let the hearth die in her home," Margret said. She felt Agnes turn to look at her, but didn't meet her gaze. "She believed that as long as a light burned in the house, the Devil couldn't get in. Not even during the witching hour." Agnes was quiet. "What do you believe?" she asked eventually. Margret extended her hands towards the flames. "I think a fire is a useful thing to keep a body warm," she said. - Burial Rites by Hannah Kent Teaser Tuesday is  hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading .

Teaser Tuesday - July 29th

Lack of perspective in literature (or in readers) often causes a contemporary condition I've heard referred to as "presentism"; that is, a disposition to judge all literature by the narrow standards of present time and present culture.  This leads to the phenomena such as the denunciation of classic novels such as Huckleberry Finn , on grounds that they deal with issues such as slavery, women's civil rights, ect., in a way not consistent with the notion of present-day political correctness. - "Presentism" The Outlandish Companion by Diana Gabaldon Teaser Tuesday is  hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading .

Earth Day aka "Green Love" 2008

Leafy Tree Pendant from OneElf Earth Day’s fast approaching and I’m super excited. My ‘hug a tree’ shirt’s ready and waiting and I’m impatiently counting down the hours. Yes I’m a giant geek, but it’s the one day where spreading the green love is totally socially acceptable. Although I will still try and refrain from yelling at people who chuck plastic bottles in the trash; I will not refrain from rolling my eyes at people who look at me funny when I remove perfectly good rolls of wrapping paper from the trash. It’s going to be fun. However since it is Earth Day I know everyone’s being berated with things like ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ and ‘turn the water off when you brush your teeth’. Important, yes, but I think there’s a bit of a bigger picture that gets missed in all that, so I’m going for something different. I’m not going to talk about it, at least not today. Today I’m talking about worms. Yes, I’m finally writing a real entry about something, and yes it’s about worms. ...
