No big surprise… I love this Kale salad. A few of you have asked me to share my recipe. So here you – go dear ones.
1/2 C extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 C freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 cloves, mashed or finely chopped
Pinch of pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Bunches of kale (about 14 ounces), ribs removed and leaves sliced into 1/4-inch shreds
1/2 C nice quality parmesan cheese (grated) If desired.
In a salad bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, salt and red pepper flakes. Add the kale and toss well to coat. Let the salad sit at room temperature for 10-30 minutes. Add the grated cheese, toss again. Enjoy. Cover any leftovers. I think this salad taste better the next day actually.
Also, I’ve been up to some serious knitting….
This is the poncho I knitted Kate for her birthday. Okay so…. I gotta say this was a whole bunch of knitting! I went ahead and knitted this up with the recommended yarn on the pattern. Which was Paton’s Classic Wool Roving. The yarn knitted up beautifully. My mister and I started calling it Cape Fear… Because the directions were a bit shall I say complicated… Also It took so long to knit… But with every stitch I learned… I loved … I prayed… I believed… So here’s the cape.
I love the detail!
Which, by the way Kate wore the whole beautiful time she was in Spain…
Well… except for this date….
She said she felt like when she was wearing it she was getting a huge hug from me. With every stitch.. I loved her dearly.
