Dear Friends,
This drizzly Monday Memorial day as we're harvesting for this weeks deliveries, my family remembers my father, Daniel, and his two brothers. All 3 were aviators in WWII and all came home to the country they loved.
Remember those who served before.
Remember those who are no more.
Remember those who serve today.
Remember them as we eat and play.
Remember our protectors-
who are not home today.
Remember them all on Memorial Day.

In talking with a new shareholder, she shared with me that kale wasn't one of her favorite greens and this week is the last cutting of the new kale/brussel sprout greens. Although Red Russian kale is our favorite, we did enjoy growing and trying a new one.
If you like your kale in salads, here's an easy recipe:
Raw Kale Salad
(Massaged)
1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped small
1/4 red onion or 1 shallot, chopped
Good olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Grated Insalata ricotta, 1/2 c
Salt and pepper
Sprinkle some salt and 2-3 T of oil over the kale. Plunge your hands in and massage for a couple of minutes until tender. Add 'onion', lemon juice, cheese and salt and pepper as you like.
Fast, easy and tasty.
I'd say a day like today is a good candidate for a chili stew! We like to add chopped kale for the last few minutes of cooking for a tasty and nutritional boost.
