Wandered over from the Substack Writers at Work office party, and I'm so happy to be here! Food is not only sustenance but comfort in difficult moments, and your recipe sounds like it's made for that. I'm a newbie to kale but already a big fan (kale salads, kale chips, kale chaat, etc.) - will add this to my repertoire too!

that was a kick in the stomach, and blasted the wind out of my sails. just when i have a sliver of hope for our country, i read something like this and it is such a sickening gut punch that requires more kale and cream than exists on this planet. the sheer ignorance and hate and fear and I don’t know what, I’m choking up and shaking and on the verge of tears reading this and longing to be sitting in your kitchen being fed something heartwarming and nourishing and comforting to coax me down from the ledge. The cruelty that has been so viciously unleashed to wreak havoc on the most innocent (as we’ve seen), the most sensitive, the most seeking, the most confused, the most fragile is heartbreaking. I just want to scream a fire breathing dragon kind of scream that stops the insanity if even for just a moment so we can all catch our breath.
