there’s kale in my refrigerator.  which needs to be cooked & eaten.  so… I’m in the process of decluttering the house so that I can free up some head space and cook… be creative… and enjoy some crafting or something else along those lines.

Am thinking of preparing some kale for lunch, with a sprouted grain bread sandwich (perhaps turkey? roast beef?).  And some grains for the week… and some beans.  Maybe make some spinach brownies for breakfasts this week, too.

and bok choy, too.  I really liked it the few times I’ve had it.. t here’s something to be said for stir fry – got a wok at IKEA a few years ago, and just used it for the first time a few weeks ago.  Time to break that puppy in!

Ok – off to finish the declutter project, to prepare some grains, and think about holiday gifts, which house project I’ll choose next, and laundry.  Yes, must think about laundry.

    a wok is an absolute necessity! One tip though, if it is NOT a non stick one (which is mostly preferable to non stick), do NOT scrub it. Season the wok (video below) and you will end up with a non stick pan that will love you for life. Enjoy your wok. It’s a wonderful kitchen accessory! The messier and more burnt it looks, the better it’s getting.

    thank you for the encouragement & link! after watching the video, i remembered an old wok banging around in my basement (not a non-stick one). got it out, shined it up, seasoned it a bit (thus caused several smoke alarms to go off). it has a 100% round bottom, it doesnt’ quite fit on the gas stove burner, but if i can stay nearby it’ll be a success. i always use my iron skillet, but recently (b/c am cooking more greens) it hasn’t quite been big enough. will give this one a shot :)
