My knife skills are abysmal, -t, so if it turns out well enough when I do it I'm sure you can. I usually do a chiffonade because it's easy and efficient!
It's a real burden being right so often.

I wouldn't bother massaging kale if I were going to cook it, but it's kind of the only way to eat raw kale, isn't it?
I made a massaged kale caesar salad (with raw-egg homemade dressing) a few weeks ago that was just gorgeous. And my sister makes a massaged kale salad with avocado and sunflower seeds and maybe apples in it that's really wonderful. I do love kale.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I really am fine with non-massaged kale salad.
...is there a downside to getting a professional to do it?
Lack of self-sufficiency and accomplishment! Also waiting an unknown number of weeks for it to be finished. After walking away and going back, it actually may not be as bad as I thought, so maybe I will do the second coat in the morning after all.

Chiffonade seems hard to me! But I might try.

As long as you don't worry about everything being neat and even it's pretty easy!

That's a good point. Maybe I'll give it a try, if not this batch of kale than soon.

... so that's what you call it when I do that! I didn't know it had a name. And it's really easy, -t.
I never think to massage my kale, I figure cutting it up into thin strips is sufficiently tenderizing. Seems to work although it's never as good as the kale salad I had at Monk's Kettle last month. Man, that was awesome.

I'm sorry, Suzi.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sorry, Suzi.
I'm never eating kale, just out of sheer contrariness, now. It's gotten too big for its leafy green britches, wanting massages.
