“Salad of Kales*”

Baby kales salad

with raw radish tips-n-leaves,

onion and kohlrabi!

 

(*The ‘Salad of Kales” Tanka #346 completes the menu including vinaigrette…add tangerine juice and jaimica (hibiscus) tea with a couple of rehydrated hibiscus flowers for texture to the honey-mustard basic vinaigrette.  Gussy as you please. The baby kales included regular, Russian, Siberian, Dinosaur and, of course, the odd kohlrabi leaves as well…still no Romaine or Iceberg or butter ready…and so I suffer. Mightily.  Come, haul me out of this self-appointed briar patch, please, good sir or madam! Pretty Please…NOT! Hmmm. Wonder if lardon or bacon logs would add…pues, como no?)

“But It Sounds So Darn Good! Tennessee Truffles Opens Dors In Sanford”

add pickled ramps to

a fancy cream-corn side dish:

justifies a sawbuck?

“Simple Salad” Tanka 209

Watermelon cold

enough that it hurts your teeth;

feta; red onions,

 

lime juice, salt, crushed red peppers

and candied tangerine peel!*

 

*(canola or olive oil if you must; sub. basalmic {real! so use just a few drops, possibly mixed in with the lime juice?} if you like. I have yet to try oil-cured black olives – pitted if you like your guests – but with the feta cubes, why not?)

“A Meal Deal”

Been hunting for just

the right worm for my apple

to complete the meal.
