Well, Sena served the cranberry kale salad today, along with a hearty vegetable soup. If I had not known that the kale was in the salad, I would not have noticed anything unusual about it.

In fact, the salad was pretty good, although truth be known, the kale was mixed together with so many other veggies and Dijon salad dressing, I wouldn’t have known it was in there.
So, I’m obligated to share the article about kale I read yesterday when I was complaining about kale salad. It’s chock full of vitamins but has hardly any calories.
Sena got a couple of items at the grocery store that made me raise my eyebrows right off my head. She bought a jar of Miracle Whip, which is good. But she also bought a bag of kale which came with a packet of Dijon dressing (as if that would help!).
She did this on purpose. She bought both of these items with a clear mind—a clearly diabolical mind. I’m fine with the Miracle Whip of course, although she tends to use a lot of other mayo-type products first so it tends to sit in the pantry for a while.
But the kale is a new abomination. And who came up with cranberry kale? It’s a cruel joke. And she’s going to mix it with Dijon dressing? I think that’s against federal law. I know kale has health benefits, but I think that’s offset by a number of negative factors, such as it tends to turn you into an extraterrestrial.
Articles exist that make you think that you can prepare an edible dish using kale, but that is just a government plot. There’s a section on the web with the heading “Is it better to eat kale raw or cooked or burn the stuff?” Look it up.
According to an article from the Mayo Clinic, kale used to be just decorative garnish, which I think was OK. But then people started thinking it was real food and chased after it like zombies hunting for brains.
If you can put Dijon dressing on kale, you ought to be able to put Miracle Whip on it. On the other hand, that would ruin perfectly good Miracle Whip.
