Tomorrow is the CSA pickup
So *today* I'm frantically trying to use up everything from last week's CSA that I haven't used up already. At the very least, I want to get rid of my kale. Kale for breakfast, kale for lunch!
I have one bag of kale left, and I decided to save time in the evening by spending time now ripping the stems off the kale. The stems are in a bag in the freezer, waiting for me to get gardening gloves so I can clear a path to the compost (I haven't been out there that much, residual angst over the foreclosure thing, which looks like it's resolving nicely although honestly, it's like pulling teeth to get information from my mother) so I can toss them in there.
The kale stems are most definitely half the kale by volume, and more than that by weight. And I have to wonder - is there anything I can do with just the stems of the kale? Because this is ridiculous.

In striking down Kentucky's ban on gay marriage, a federal judge Tuesday rejected Gov. Steve Beshear's argument that the ban is needed because only opposite sex couples can procreate and maintain the state's birth rate and economy.
