Charlotte, I did not think I would like this either. Make sure you try all of the varieties of kale because there really is a difference in taste and texture. Another thing that improves the texture is to apply lemon juice and massage the kale first as a sort of tenderizer. Of course you could always make a salad with cooked kale, but if there is hope, try that tip first. 101 Cookbooks' Raw Tuscan Kale Salad Recipe Review |

In Arlington, VA, there is a year-round farmer's market, but the pickings get a tad slim in winter. I try to buy seasonally at the grocery store, but that does not always equate to local--I indulge in avocados and certainly citrus and pomegranates!

I wish HGTV would just add some gardening shows. They can't do a whole channel when they cannot even do one show on the channel they have. Urban Dirt TV The Gardenist |

I concur with the tough love but especially with the vegetarian Mexican suggestion. It is easy, and more important, easy to fill with vegetables. I became a vegetarian at 12 and now at nearly 40, veggie burritos (add sweet potatoes), quesadillas (add spinach and corn), and tacos (lentils make especially good taco filling) are still nearly weekly menu items for me.

While I adore the aesthetic, it is mostly about scale. Living in a small house, I need small furniture, and MCM fits my style more than the much older pieces I would need does. Poll: What Do You Love Most about Mid-Century Modernism? |

Do some reading up on the subject at the Natl Center for Food Preservation website http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/, then peruse one of the many canning books (some have been reviewed here) for a recipe that appeals to you. In order to be canned in boiling water, there must be sufficient acid in the recipe. That is why there is an emphasis on using tested recipes. How Can I Best Preserve Red Chili Sauce or Paste?
