(smile)<br /><br />In the health food store in our area they have bags of kale chips - like you mentioned but these are small bags, salted kale chips with Parmesan cheese and they are almost $7.00. Me thinks it would be easier to learn how to do that than spend that much money.

My biggest peeve with recipe writers is the use of bunch, medium, large, etc. It's meaningless unless you live in the same area they bought their ingredients--a medium onion here is equivalent to two onions on the East Coast.<br /><br />I love that everyone's making kale chips. I discovered them by accident when some kale (and cabbage) stuck to the side of my roasting pan.

I use them to dry vegetables, use them to wipe down counter tops after cleaning. Can use for just about anything. They wash and dry just fine. But I use just one per chore. Also use one next to the sink to put washed dishes on to drain. Takes up less space then those drainers.<br /><br />Thanks for this recipe gem.<br />SunnySunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00150047286932837379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-48768823300271595082010-03-02T12:56:49.232-06:002010-03-02T12:56:49.232-06:00Here's information about paper towels and napk...Here's information about <a href="http://www.care2.com/greenliving/paper-towels-and-napkins-vs-cloth.html" rel="nofollow">paper towels and napkins</a> ...Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-80580561400396359252010-03-02T12:55:43.084-06:002010-03-02T12:55:43.084-06:00Bo ~ Do and let me know!

As I recall it reminded me somewhat of really good roasted nori. Have not tried it with the acid added. Cait - thank you for the info on macular degeneration. It runs in DH's family. We already eat a lot of spinach so its good to know that might help but it would also be good to add another dark green to our diet. We tend to get stuck on the same things all the time. Kale is on our next shopping list for sure.

Dish towels do the job, can be dried and re-used without washing (it was only water, after all) and no resources have been wasted. In my house, paper towels mop up grease spills and that's about it. Why waste the paper, the packaging, the transport?<br /><br />Just something to think about.<br /><br />Right now, as a gardener, I am awash in winter kale so appreciate another yummy way to use it.Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-29174972666756061912010-03-02T10:11:30.635-06:002010-03-02T10:11:30.635-06:00Can you fix the nutritional value for this? - it&#...Can you fix the nutritional value for this? - it's missing some numbers on my end.

The list ends for food highest in lutein for those with macular degeneration is green beans. Not a carrot in sight. <br />Macular degeneration is a nasty piece of work. <br />My Dad has it and has finally come to accept the fact that he is legally blind. It wasn't easy for him to get to that decision. I try to eat spinach as often as I can, and I love cooked spinach with lemon juice, salt, pepper and butter. Nothing else. Just pop those on top of cooked spinach and I am in heaven. Kale isn't available in my little town population of 2,000's local grocery store. <br />Thanks, THIS is something that sounds soooo good.<br />Huggs, CaitCaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880529623050125631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-58934823629999882172010-03-02T09:17:52.920-06:002010-03-02T09:17:52.920-06:00These are a regular at our house, at least in the ...These are a regular at our house, at least in the winter when the CSA box often has bunches of different kales. But I've found that kale can be quite salty on its own, so I've stopped adding any in the cooking process. Sometimes we use sesame oil instead of olive oil, for a different flavor. I don't add acid either, though we do make a kale salad with chopped kale and a balsamic or lemon marinade - let it sit an hour or so, add olive or sesame oil and seasonings to taste, plus any other ingredients - yum!Karen, SoFLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-58170333742480081202010-03-02T08:26:41.078-06:002010-03-02T08:26:41.078-06:00Very unsual!!!
