I'm over kale

I detest the way my mother-in-law says "swiss chard" in her sing-songy way so much that I can't even be in the same room with it anymore

I discovered this week that there is more than one way to say swiss chard (with or without the sing-song).

Does she say swiss SHard or swiss CHard?  (SH as in shop, CH as in chop)

I could not find a French translation for "Swiss chard".  Enough said.

I have never once successfully made kale chips despite multiple tries. They either come out soggy or burnt...no in between.

I do like those salty seeweed snacks they sell at trader joes though.

Never tried this.

I also love Swiss Chard. I typically use it any way that I might have otherwise used kale. With the exception that with chard, don't add any more salt!

   She says SWEESS (very hard "I") chAHrd  with a Spanish/French accent and a certain tilt of her perfectly coiffed head.  And if she weren't your mother-in-law and you didn't hear her talk about other people in her way then you'd think it was very cute.

Thanks.  I could not find it in the online dictionary that I use.  I did not put in more effort.  But this seems right.

Today's salad has way more raw kale than I was expecting.

I'm bumping this topic because I have to admit I am currently eating a salad with kale and it is delicious. I massaged a happy ending into the damned kale with olive oil.

Oh, and I chopped it up into small pieces to make it easier to eat.

I have not tried to make kale chips.  But we have made spinach chips with spinach leaves that were too far gone to eat raw, but not yet too gross to eat at all.  They were yummy.  But sort of a pain in the ass.  I don't remember what the boyfriend did beyond oven, olive oil, and salt.  I forget things like temp and time.

I used to love the seaweed snacks but at some point I started to taste an iodine flavor in them and I can't "untaste" that. So now every time I eat them, that is all I can taste.

DH was addicted to them but eventually they caused him major gastro issues.

I had the most delicious kale salad at lunch today: kale, currants, parmesan (I splurged), marcona almonds with grilled shrimp on top.  yum

[witchypoo]

i had a lurvely kale salad for lunch - curly kale and kale, shredded raw red beets, cubed and roasted yellow beets, chopped filberts, blue cheese, and ginger dressing.

[Rejaneration]

I like kale.  And collard greens. And swiss chard.  I pretty much like it all---except iceberg lettuce.

I adore swiss chard tossed into soups.

Massaged kale is a revelation. My friend makes a kale salad with a lemon and olive oil massage, and puts toasted chickpeas in it. Even 14 year old boys go back for seconds, it's that good.
