Then my hubby and I walked into a health food store deli and the girl working there talked us into trying some of their kale-avo salad. A whole new world opened up. Now we actually plant in on purpose and look forward when the next batch is ready. Check out this post with a link to the recipe. Make sure you watch the video...it's all about the smooshing.<br /><br />http://everyday-gifts.blogspot.com/2009/04/kale.htmlCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385861572824976867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-37241068569150497182009-03-13T15:10:00.000-07:002009-03-13T15:10:00.000-07:00yep, I enjoyed the installment.

I love garlic with greens, will have to try adding pasta the next time I make something like this.

But ...Alice - I have no idea - I've never tried it! But you know I will.<BR/><BR/>Junie - Yeah, it's not the most earth shattering of tips, but to me, it kinda was. <BR/><BR/>This method, for me, removes all of the aggravation so that I can save my energy for figuring out what to do with all that kale. <BR/><BR/>;)<BR/><BR/>jen - Right, but then you've sullied a knife AND a cutting board. And potentially mangled the clove.<BR/><BR/>That's my problem anyway. ;)<BR/><BR/>Decca - Should I not tell you that we had the leftovers tonight and that I fried up some bacon and mixed it with the pasta and that it made it extra good?<BR/><BR/>No, I shouldn't. Because I know you have bacon in the house.<BR/><BR/>Good thing I kept that to myself.<BR/><BR/>Wendy - What IF that's all I was saying? "Hey - here's how you use a garlic press!" That'd be awesome. People would think me retardo.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like your kid is a Pick-o-Matic. That's what Bubba calls me. For my grody picking issues. I like things to be smooth! What's my problem?<BR/><BR/>Also, this shit better be in CI. This is the best cooking tip I have!<BR/><BR/>Jemima - See! There is a good reason for this to be a tip - no stinky garlic fingers or cutting boards! Thank you for validating me. I feel better now.<BR/><BR/>Thimble - Do you really like kale that much? Good for you. I never touched the stuff until it was forced upon me by the farm share. Now I like it, but I don't have your, ahem, passion for it, I guess.FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-15331881143940434852009-03-05T12:38:00.000-08:002009-03-05T12:38:00.000-08:00Forget the garlic...it's a Kale recipe!!! {Don't ...Forget the garlic...it's a Kale recipe!!! {Don't tell...I'm deprived..I don't <I>have,</I> a garlic press.

I tried it last night and it was awesome!!! <BR/>For me, the most obnoxious part of peeling garlic with a knife/my fingers was always how my fingers smelled really garlicy even after a whole night and several washings...No garlic smell today!<BR/>You are my non garlicy smelling fingers hero Finny!Jemima Jones Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166031427030581781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-19334018844374604382009-03-05T08:59:00.000-08:002009-03-05T08:59:00.000-08:00Fan-freaking-tastic!

But then, oh wait, you threw that curve ball of genius. I fully expect to see it in the next issue of CI.<BR/><BR/>Joey, however, will be sad because she actually likes to pull the skin out of the garlic press. (She's a very tweezer oriented girl. If you give her anything small to pick at, she's a happy kid.)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-641345640931927252009-03-05T00:26:00.000-08:002009-03-05T00:26:00.000-08:00I have GOT to stop visiting your blog when I'm hun...I have GOT to stop visiting your blog when I'm hungry.

I do appreciate the garlic tutorial as I never quite get it right and spend an inordinate amount of time dreaming up new bad words to say. Now I can take care of the garlic in as calm a manner as possible. Oh, and thank you for the recipe, too.Junie Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561131734782279400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-24065492896327654142009-03-04T17:40:00.000-08:002009-03-04T17:40:00.000-08:00I always thought the best way was to just crush th...I always thought the best way was to just crush the clove, skin and all, in the garlic press and separate the skin when you throw the crushed clove in the pot rather than the separate smashbefore crushing... but that's just me!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708820677455557422noreply@blogger.com
