7 inches of rain in one hour
Comments (11)Oh my how scary. I am glad you are all ok! The only experience I have with floods is I arrived in Portland Oregon, moving from "no weather" San Diego, right as the floods of 1996 started. It was an eye opening experience. It was so heartwarming how everyone came together to help those effected. I was glued to the weather channel! The blackouts lasted all day. We would gather at the Tillamook hamburger joint cause that was the only place with power in the area. I saw people at the grocery store that said all they had was what was in their grocery cart! Mother nature can be very scary. Now back in San Diego I deal with fires and earthquakes. Keep safe everyone! Allison...See MoreCooking Southern Greens - Kale and Beet Greens
Comments (10)Lynn, I'm curious about how you cooked your kale if you've done it yet. I've never cooked greens in a "Southern" style, although I'm sure I would love them done that way. In fact, until very recently, my only experience with kale has been in Italian wedding soup, cooked by my DIL or her family during the last eight years (since their wedding). But after learning that kale is one of the most healthy foods for you I decided to cook it myself as a veggie. I have used curly (Lacinato) kale and the more flat variety. Each time I have cooked the kale fairly quickly, or not at all in the case of the kale salad that has become so popular. I've cut out the ribs when they were large, and with the smaller leaved kale from our Asian supermarket I've left the ribs in, and then cut the leaves in about 1 inch wide strips and sauteed in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and a little lemon for just about 10 minutes. It is tender and fully cooked. More recently I have cooked it with similar seasonings, except for adding a little sherry vinegar after cooking, in the pressure cooker based on a Lorna Sass recipe. A large bunch of kale was cooked in just three minutes under pressure. It came out tender but still a little firm. We enjoyed that too. You can find the videos showing her cooking kale by Googling Lorna Sass kale, I couldn't find the actual recipe online - just the videos and while I have another book she wrote on pressure cooking, I don't have the one that includes that recipe. I've also made the Tuscan kale salad where the shredded leaves, no ribs, are combined with olive oil, allowed to mellow a bit with the oil and then lemon and salt and pepper added. I thought it was good, but not necessarily meriting the rave reviews I have read about this preparation. One thing though, that salad holds up perfectly for days in the fridge - a real plus when you just need something to take out of the fridge and put on a plate. I think I will try to find a variation on that salad that I would find a little more interesting. So the bottom line is you can cook kale long and slow, or fast by sauteing or in a PC or not at all in a salad - it's all really healthy for you! So please tell us what you did.

Comments (52)We re about to hit the 7 month mark of no stove, with another 2 months until permits get approved for propane. Demo was in Nov, our punch list is long, our stove is in but not hooked up, our venthood does not work, parts of the counter have been missing for months and I need to paint so much it is overwhelming. I have painted approx half of what needs doing (the entire interior, minus our sons' room needs doing, including painting stained moldings and window trim and new primed window trim and moldings). Then, I get to finish a small section of exterior and paint the garage door. Once the interior is painted, and money allows, we need to rip up the dr and new den floor and put down new wood floors. We need to rip up our new kitchen floor for another one to be determined. Then, the backyard that got chewed up by machines will need fixing and we need a new fence (old ugly one had to get half torn down in the process). I expect to get the interior done in approx 4 months and the rest by Spring. We'll be right around the 1 year mark, if we are lucky! (I am not even thinking of how long until the bs....)...See MoreYeee Haaw! Another one gone......(last one!)
