That is wrong on so many levels.

I will gladly bail him out Tuesday for that hamburger today.

Congratulations to Rick and Helen at Meadow Creek Dairy. They earned it. Their cheeses are extraordinary.

I have an embarassing story about kale. My grandmother used to cook it fresh from the garden all the time, but once when I was a child I swallowed half of a huge kale rib while I was still chewing the other half in my mouth. I gagged and my mother thought I was choking, so she picked me up and attempted to turn me upside down.
Needless to say, I survived. But ever since then, I've liked my greens cooked to a pleasantly pork-scented mush. So I say boil the &$@! out of those kale greens, and throw a ham hock in there while you're at it.
