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.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My dad had that and they seem to have solved it with an ablation. It took some time to get there though.

I'm sorry, Suzi.
Kat, I hope they get your dad's cardiac issues fixed soon.

It makes it more tender so nicer to eat raw.

So raw kale is less...floppy than other greens? Like, compared to, say, spinach or romaine, it it markedly more stiff? (I'm such a kale n00b!)

Yeah. If you don't massage it, it requires a whole lot of chewing if you want to eat it raw.

Intriguing. Also slightly intimidating. I usually don't have to take my food to the spa before I eat it.

I tend to go the direct route and get mad at the patient.
Crazy winds just kicked in. I seriously thought there was a miscreant in the alley, since I wasn't expecting it.
