I'm supposed to like you. I know you're so very good for me, all dark green and leafy. But you're bitter and tough. That makes me unhappy.
But you won't win, kale. I will keep finding ways to trick myself into eating you. And trick the kids into eating you, too. Maybe I'll even convince them to like you. Stranger things have happened.
I've got one more trick up my sleeve now. This peanut soup with chicken recipe we tried tonight? The kids ate it up. Loved its peanut buttery taste and the almost-sweetness of it. The Boy even said he liked "the green stuff."
So, kale? So far this summer? Me: 1; you: 0.
