I'm always surprised by how much time passes between our posts. Lately I've not been home during daylight hours, biking off to work at dawn and returning after dark. I have a few more months until that changes! On the whole, though, the passing of seasons is delightful. The weather has warmed up again and we're having brilliant sunshine. Tough on the root crops in 'cold' storage, which are sprouting, but nice for us. We've been eating kale almost non-stop - it's so delicious now that the first few frosts have sweetened it up. Tonight I had roasted portabella mushrooms stuffed with kale and salata ricotta cheese. Delicious. Our most wonderful recent kale success was a nice potato/squash gnocchi tossed in sage and kale butter. The trees themselves:
We have so many kinds of kale: Wintorbor, Red Russian, White Russian, Rainbow Lacinato, and some of the more common varieties. The collards are also doing well, and we tried a few parsnips last night but they're still starchy and would benefit from a few more good frosts.
