The land of tobacco, Rand Paul and heavy eyeliner has grown on me quite a bit this press trip. This morning I hightailed it to Bowling Green to Crafty Hands as soon as I was finished with the morning press check. I bought some amazingly beautiful Mountain Colors Bearfoot in Marigold, some Koigu and a couple other gifty yarny things.
After Bowling Green I drove up 65 to Mammoth Cave National Park.
Oh, and yesterdays lunch.
But in February, I began seeing a recipe for baked kale chips flitting about the internet. I’m not sure where it started (or re-started, as I see folks have actually been making this for years), but I’m guessing with a Dan Barber recipe in Bon Appetit that month. His version used whole leaves and arranged them daintily in a pitcher; the more rustic version I’d seen on blogs (and hooray for that) was simple to de-stem the kale, cut or tear it up, toss it with a bit of oil and bake it until crisp.
