Zuppa Toscana and fresh baked bread - you may have had this potato sausage soup at Olive Garden. I chatted up a disgruntled cook there once and he jotted down the recipe on a napkin for me. Let me know if you would like to impress your significant other with some "fine Italian cuisine" that's pretty simple to throw together. Because smothering it in bacon and sausage is really the only way to "enjoy" kale.

Did a sundried tomato sausage and super mushroomy arrabiata tonight. Spicy spicy.

Looks.... er, ahh... how do I put this???

Looks can be deceiving, right?

 

[JD3000]

Spicy spicy.

Would have looked better tossed in pasta.

Let me live.

Hey, you could be a chef at one of those dine in theaters! You know, where all the lights are turned out!

 

[JD3000]

I avoid the theaters you frequent on general principle.

Floors are beyond gross and the clientel could be put into the deplorable basket.

Yeah, nobody wants to see you and PeeWee Herman dragged out of the theatre in handcuffs, again.

...the only way to "enjoy" kale.

The wife and I often try to find an edible use for kale... which is extremely easy to grow and often is still green, popping right out of the snow clear into December. But, we have rabbits... those goofy things snarf it down like it was free peanuts at a sports bar. We mostly grow it for them. I tried to describe the taste to someone, and all I could come up with was that it tastes like soap. Don't ask me why I can make that connection.

...it tastes like soap. Don't ask me why I can make that connection.

And that stuff just won't cook down, you can boil it for an hour and it will still slap your glasses off when you try to take a bite.

 

[JD3000]

Cabbage looper has a field day on that stuff.

Let 'em have it IMO.

 

[JeffGu]

Yeah, wife made a salad with some on there... might as well make a slushie out of Tide Pods....

 

[JD3000]

I like leafy greens but that stuff is dreadful.

Spinach lasagna, yes.
Kale lasagna, beat the cook with a toaster.

 

[JeffGu]

Mmmm... lasagna.... with piles of cheese in there... and a plate of crawfish alfredo...

Start cooking, I'll be there by six.

Ash Wednesday.
balsamic glazed salmon.

 

[FreeFallin]

I just made these...

 

[FreeFallin]

Disappear.

 

[JD3000]

Made some wings and Samoas disappear just now.

 

[FreeFallin]

Samoas are gone in the name of cultural appropriation, now they are caramel delights.
Never let the people of Samoa be stereotyped and associated with delicious coconut chocolate cookies, I guess.

 

[JD3000]

Ridiculous

 

[JeffGu]

I'm going to buy me some of those mint cookies, if one of those Sexually Amorphous Scouts come around selling them.
