Kale is an extremely healthful leafy green and a more sophisticated cousin to spinach. However, I find kale to be a little bitter for my taste. I just read about "dinosaur" kale, a variety of kale that is sweeter and nuttier than regular kale, nicknamed "dinosaur" for the texture of the leaves.

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers,
Planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the mantra, peace on earth

Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.
