My middle son won a trail race this week and was awarded a large bag of kale as a prize. Not knowing what to do with kale, I turned to the one recipe I had heard about over and over on the internet - kale chips.
They came out thin, crisp and salty and ... absolutely disgusting. My mother and I both agreed these are inedible. Ugh! Nasty!
My son, however, who won the kale (seriously, who wins kale???) rather likes the kale chips and my youngest son, who likes very little, thought the kale chips weren't bad at all.
I just hope that if he wins the race next week that something else is ripe from the garden.

These did not end my search for the perfect brownie. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm looking for brownies with that nice shiny top that crackles and a fudgy interior - basically brownies just like those from a box.
These brownies did not satisfy. They are much too thin - about 3/4 inch. They are not nearly chocolatey enough. They just don't have the right taste.
They are decent tasting but they don't end my search and they're not even close to the best cocoa brownies I've ever made.

Mother's Day breakfast (a day early) made by my 14 year old son.
I found this version of baked french toast better than others we've tried. The toasting of the bread meant that there were nice crisp edges and a custardy under layer. Most of the work can be done the night before which makes breakfast come together very quickly the next morning. In the time it takes to bake the french toast, one can fry up an entire pound of bacon.
Served with a side of crispy bacon, this was a wonderful Mother's Day breakfast.
