does your hubby take the central stem part out of the kale leaves?

i tried making kale once. i did remove that part, because it was very hard and fibrous. after cooking, the kale was very chewy, even without it - i can't imagine with! maybe i didn't cook it long enough... but i cooked it a long time.

thank you for sharing. both the soup and stirfried with garlic sound good even though it doesn't come prewashed here, nor the carrots... bit more work but i am used to that. i must try the soup some time.

tonight we had fish filet that mom sauteed, and quartered fennel bulbs which i steamed then lightly toasted with garlic. we also had plain soup as a starter (broth with a broken up fine spaghetti).
