Chiffonade seems hard to me! But I might try
... 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 have never felt so alone. This afternoon sucked balls.
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.
Oh, Suzi, I am so sorry.
I love kale. We usually get dinosaur or curly. Chiffonade is NOT the same thing as a chifforobe.
I also believe that tiny strips of kale makes it sufficiently not so bitter. That with hot viniagrette usually does it. NOM.
Grace has a social studies project we have to do this weekend. So I called my mom to set up a skype (Grace has to interview an old person, essentially). My mom then tells me she is driving between hospitals because my dad is having heart problems.
Um. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Had I not called she wouldn't have called me.
Also it's easier to be irked by my mom than to worry about my dad. (Atrial firbrillation not being helped by his pacemaker/defirbrillaton).
Yikes, Kat's dad, get good cardiac care! Kat's mom, tell Kat these things!
Suzi, that blows. I'm sorry you were so let down.
Finally, I need to ask, since I am a non-kale-eater: why does it need to be massaged? (I have been eating a lot of spinach in smoothies, though. I feel like Popeye.)
