Get ready for National Kale Day on October 1st!

I have a daily alert for everything published on the web containing the word "kale". To be honest, I do not have time to check that alert during the growing season, so when I peeked at that inbox this morning (I did so with a bit of guilty pleasure), I saw daily messages starting last April. Thus it is fair to say that kale is still a "sexy" food, i.e., it is going strong in the media! 

I have copied the list of articles from yesterday's daily alert, omitting (I hope) all those messages that contain the word kale as someone's last name or something else a bit odd or irrelevant. 

I have been told that National Kale Day is coming up this week, Wednesday, October 1st. So here is a full list of ideas of food to make using kale. In fact, I have been using delicious and nutritious kale "in everything" for years and years, and it now appears that the world has caught up with me! 

Here you can see I love kale so much that the front of our farm's business card has kale as the base, even though we are a garlic farm! Just for fun, you may read more about our farm at our farm's website www.dyerfamilyorganicfarm.com.

All Hail Kale! Enjoy your kale-a-bration! Yum, Yum!

Where kale is (and has been) more than decoration on my plate!
