The Affordable Kale Act requires repeated trips to the Farmacy, but it is just 50 feet or so outside our back door, so it is not really a burdensome piece of legislation. As far as affordability, my goodness, the only cost was a few bucks for a pack of seeds and we'll eat on this until Spring. I took a picture of Tricia (the Farmacist) at the Farmacy, filling a 'prescription' with homegrown kale. (She doesn't always harvest vegetables with her pearls on. We were just coming in from church, when I took the picture).
Tricia: at the Farmacy |
She took it inside and washed it up and then put it on the cutting board and chopped it a little bit.
Chopping up some fresh kale |
Kale: The Queen of Green! |
After a stir or two, the side dish of kale is good to go.
While we were out in the garden, we also picked a few poblano peppers and Purple Beauty Bell Peppers.
We sliced them up and put them in a skillet with a little butter and sauteed them for a little while.
Ain't that pretty? |
After we poured the milk, fixed our plates and thanked the Good Lord for providing good food for us, it was time to eat. We had a nice Southern meal that consisted of peas over rice, kale, and sauteed peppers. Tricia made some cornbread to go along with it and I'm sorry to say I didn't take a picture of it. It was delicious, trust me.
A Healthy and Delicious Plate |
There were no 'glitches' in the implementation of our Affordable Kale Act. We also stayed well within our budgetary confines. I'd like to say deliberations were met with bi-partisan approval, but we have one in our constituency that isn't a big fan of kale. I think Benjamin will 'change his vote' sooner or later, though, after hearing some persuasive speeches from a statesman or stateswoman at our next Town Hall Meeting.
