Recently I have been reading a blog where the blogger* eats kale just about everyday. That made me curious as to what kale was really like. I tried to buy some Wednesday night at Publix but they were out. Thursday I went to a different Publix and found the kale.
I decided to open the large bag of pre cut/washed kale tonight. I planned on sauteing it in butter like I do with fresh spinach. I tried a chunk of raw kale. Very interesting. A combo of broccoli cabbage, and spinach to me- lots of fiber chew too. I put half the bag in the pan to cook. B (my 4 yr old) kept hopping around the kitchen after repeated warnings that I was cooking and he needed to vacate the room. I was looking at him and picked up my large container of sea salt and flicked the half lid open. I then went to do a quick shake (while still looking at him) and realized that it hadn't felt quite right. Looked down and saw this
OH FUDGE! I opened the side that you do when you want to use a measuring spoon. Whoops! I might have yelled out CRAP as well. I debated on if I would chuck it or try and save it. I scooped out all the sea salt and kale and tossed in a strainer to rinse. I then cooked the frozen pepper mix I had planned to use for dinner. Thin sliced the pre-cooked pork chops I made Thursday night. Then tossed them into the peppers to heat. Hubby's meal was the sliced pork and pepper with a side of cheesy zesty broccoli (frzn Green Giant- he loves it and it is a better side than starch for him) Mine was the same but with the kale added back into the pan. It was still quite salty but I ate it anyway. I figure it will make getting my water easier tomorrow. HAH!
* Please note the blogger is NOT a sugar coater. Put on your big girl panties before you read her blog.
I HATE when that happens!!! Unfortunately being klutzy and absent minded...I find it's a good thing I don't like putting salt on many things, and somehow I still manage to spill it all the time...
