It going to be simple here tonight and for the next day or two as
well.

I opened two large cans, 9-ounce size, of Albacore tuna, added several
chopped boiled eggs, celery, celery seed, two shallots, and at least a
tablespoon of snipped chives. Then I decided to open two regular size
cans of Albacore tuna and added those to the bowl as well. A dash or
two of lemon pepper and mayonnaise. The snipped chives were added as
I didn't think those two finely chopped shallots were quite enough for
such a large bowl of tuna.

This will be shared with two of my neighbors.

I have a regular Wednesday night "date" with my "daughter" (a young woman who worked for me at the restaurant and calls me her other mother). She lives downstairs and we get together once a week for dinner and a tv show.

I had sous vide a top round steak, cut into serving size portions, and had that in the freezer. I seared the steak and got a nice crust on it. We had it with a nice baked potato with all the fixins and a Fresh Express Sweet Kale Salad.

I've come to really like Fresh Express' Sweet Kale salad. If you haven't tried it, do. It's quite good.

You shouldn't have posted all this. Popeye is probably already

I looked that up. Sounds worth trying to me too. I wonder where
in the grocery store would you find that? Maybe on a
refridgerated shelf in the produce section?

Since you're money conscious, wouldn't it be better to buy fresh kale
and make your own?

Kale is extremely easy to grow. Fresh from your garden is the best.
And kale plants are very ornimental.

I do buy fresh kale occasionally but for a mix (with dressing)
like this product, I'd try one first to see if it's worth
making my own later. Or maybe just buying it rarely?

It's a commercial mix. Probably has some extra chemicals
added.

I grow kale because D. prefers the young leaves and all we can buy are
the older ones.

I always steam it for him.. I might show him what you both do with them
and see if he fancies it

Yesterday, I wanted to make kalua pork. I chopped up some taro leaves and stuck that on the bottom of my pot. The pork was laid on top. Unfortunately, the I couldn't find any liquid smoke. That's the breaks. I cooked it on low for 3 hours or so. It was seasoned with Hawaiian salt - that's all. We weren't able to eat it last night but perhaps we'll have it tonight. I might fry the pork in a hot skillet with some garlic and a hit of vinegar. Hoo boy!

Do you eat taro leaves? What do they look/taste like?

The leaves are eaten as are the corm of the taro plant. The Hawaiians considered the plant to be a sacred one because of its life-sustaining properties. The taro leaves taste a little like spinach. The leaves and corm have to be cooked a long time to make them edible. I suppose that's the reason that taro is not more popular in the US and UK.

Aha, so they do have a vague inkling about the health benefits of
plants.

My understanding is that you could boil kale leaves and get something similar. If you boiled kale and coconut milk until it's really soft, you'd get something that your average Hawaiian or Samoan would like a lot!

My understanding is that you could boil kale leaves and get something
similar. If you boiled kale and coconut milk until it's really soft, you'd
get something that your average Hawaiian or Samoan would like a lot!
