I shut down my little community garden plot this week, in anticipation of winter and the garden closing date. It’s been a strange year for that plot; a terrible season for tomatoes though my herbs did quite well as did the kale and chard. I didn’t harvest much of the kale over the summer, rather, just left them to grow. And grow. And grow. This week I harvested nearly 4 pounds of beautiful Tuscan kale from plants that were the size of small trees. The leaves were gorgeous – big, dusty dark green, crinkled just so. I brought home a gigantic bag and no real plan. There’s soup and pasta dishes and sautéed batches, of course. And there’s salad. Hmmmm. Kale Salad. Yippee.

I’ve done it again. Overscheduled should be my middle name. In an effort to corral all my lists together, I decided that I needed to work more efficiently and call upon the kindness of friends. With 12 gingerbread houses looming on my horizon, I needed to make 18 batches of gingerbread pronto. Listening to my home KitchenAid wheeze and cough on a single batch, I decided to call my friend Alekka and use the giant Hobart mixer in her shop. Two big batches and 20 minutes later, I was done. 18 nice, tidy, saran wrapped packages carefully placed in a large box. The trade-off? Lunch. Alekka wanted, of all things, lentil salad. Fair enough. Except I didn’t make her lentil salad. I brought her kale and wheatberry salads instead.
