Is kale actually, possibly, the healthiest food with least environmental impact for humans?
A wise friend conjectures this may possibly be so.
We must not ever find this out, the potential consequences are too awful to contemplate.

A week ago I had the oppurtunity to attend the Cooking For Solutions Event held at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The discussions Thursday were insightful and provided much to contemplate. Over the next few weeks, as I find time, I will post on numerous topics that arose at the event.

Some thoughts on the Theology of Jerks. Earlier this week, there was some minor amusement over Christian scholar Richard Beck's claim, at his blog Experimental Theology, that Christians (presumably he means fundamentalists) are lousy tippers:
Take, for example, how Christians tip and behave in…

The cool thing about kale is you can leave it in the garden half the winter and still go and dig it out of the snow and it's still crisp and ready to go. Also the cabbage whites don't see to bother it that much.
Kale is actually quite tasty if it is grown in cool weather and cooked well; i.e, not overcooked. Kale is a good addition to a stir-fry. Just chop it up and toss it in towards the end.
The plant will overwinter in the Midwest if the winter is mild.
What I wanna know: Is it any good on pizza?

Kale is very nice in a stir fry, the first 17 times.
I think it would make a nice addition to an anchovy pineapple pizza.
For some reason kale seems to be the primary product of all community supported agricultural farms. We have thorough multi-state and multi-national anecdotal evidence for this.
It is tasty, good for you, grows like a weed in places with crap soil and poor weather and seems to need no care.
There must be something wrong with it!
DO NOT EAT THE KALE SOUP!
I think it's likely we'll find that kale consumes love from the zeitgeist as it grows.
Kale salad with some olive oil, tart berries and nuts is quite good. Like this:

You can mix things up, use olives (good ones), use sesame oil, etc.
Kale is basically cabbage, right? Some nutritionist discovered that you would be grand if you ate nothing but cale, bread, and potatoes. She lived on it herself for six months, no problem.
Mmmm, potatoes... but no garlic?
Wait!
This is precisely the sort of thing we are NOT meant to know!
Raw kale can be made into a kind of pesto if the tough/stringy parts have been removed. It's been over a decade since I made this in a cooking class, so I don't remember the details, but the sort of thing one can use as a base for improvisation.
And then there's always POKE!
poke pupu?
