Week 4
It was a good morning! First, I hangout with hubby while he practiced. Then went to collect another exciting basket from CSA!!! After that, some 'me' time at my favourite local cafe - the Runcible Spoon. Oh... Breakfast was so yummy... Pancake and mocha. Ahh... ^_^
This week is another basket full of goodness from our CSA share. There are turnips, radishes, two carnival squashes and a big GORGEOUS bak choi. There is also a bag of kales. If you had been following my CSA veggie adventure, you will know that there was a little creature in the last bag of kales. So far, I have not seen any. :-p Among all the different leafy greens we have tried recently, I think I like kale more than most others. Personally, I think it has a distinct but light flavour with a slight sweet undertone to it.
Last but certainly not least, there is one 'small' sugar pie pumpkin. 'Small' was the word my CSA lady used in the description in her newsletter. However, I do not think that is true. Ours is 7 pounds!!! Tackling this SMALL pumpkin will probably be a weekend long task involving pie, bread and/or soup and toasted pumpkin seeds.

Kale Chips - Take 2
Since we ate the last batch in less than 3 minutes, I made more this morning. I don't think I will see them this evening. ^_^
p.s. I can imagine this being a nice crunchy topping for soup or pizza etc. Also, if it is to be serve to guests or at a party, removing the stems before it is baked will make it more elegant.

Kale
I do not have a picture of the kale chips I made because me and hubby ate it all! So I guess that means it was good. Oh well... Maybe next time... But here is the recipe, it really really simple. And it tasted just like potato chips!
