The turkey looks so juicy and tender and those potatoes sound amazing! I had a delicious kale salad that sounds like what you've described at a restaurant in Asheville. Kale can be truly delicious if it's prepare right. If it's not massaged then - BLEH!! It's gross! <br /><br />Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-43412701728748089882019-01-02T05:51:19.421-05:002019-01-02T05:51:19.421-05:00Wow!

I'm not a fan of kale too, but I've recently are delicious kale crisps. And I think I need to find some nice recipes for kale meals.

Isn't it fun to take classes on things that interest you, and better yet, things you can learn to bring such joy to others? You have been "partayin'" down this holiday and bravo to you! <br /><br />Thank you for visiting my blog; I am having a BLAST learning about my new camera, that quite frankly, is a superior instrument in the hands of a lesser photographer such as myself. Yes, that photo on my post is with my new camera, and I can see a huge difference in the sensitivity to light and shadows that I am after. The resolution is marvelous.<br /><br />Jeanie, here's to a good and BETTER 2019 on all levels, for all of us.Castles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-25730657530544818362018-12-30T03:20:08.358-05:002018-12-30T03:20:08.358-05:00Sounds like you had a wonderful evening, Jeanie, a...Sounds like you had a wonderful evening, Jeanie, and the food sounds delicious.

I use lots of salt when I boil potatoes for my potato soup. But I learned I'm using too much water and all the salty water is heading down the drain, or being saved for veggie broth.<br /><br />My grandmother made mincemeat pies every year at Christmas. They were delicious, but didn't look like the chef's tart. I bought some prepared mincemeat once and about gagged it was so bad. The real deal is the only way, in my opinion.<br /><br />Thanks for this very informative post. BTW, you are right about parsley in tabouli, so I can understand how much kale you would need.
