Sauteed Kale

Sauteed Kale

Take one very large of kale and remove stiff stems and roll up and cut into bite sized pieces. In two tablespoons of olive oil, saute one onion and four minced garlic cloves (add garlic the last minute). Add cut kale and saute till wilted. Next add one tablespoon each of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and sorghum syrup. Add a teaspoon each of dried garlic, dried onion powder, dried thyme, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking till kale is very wilted and ingredients have melded well. Quite tasty and easy to make.

Snowball Viburnum & Azalea 'The Robe"

Snowball Viburnum & Azalea 'The Robe"

We limbed up some trees and have planted
four viburnum and three azalea.
The azalea is vibrant red with variegated leaves, and.
the viburnum plants are putting on some flowers.
What a nice display they make.
One of the azalea is a bit wilted
hope we can get it to recover.
Every Spring we splurge on a few plants
for our garden. The landscape improves
and only splurging once a year saves our budget.
We are now in a severe drought in Georgia.
Please send rain, we need it.

Roasted Radishes

Roasted Radishes

Roasted radishes seems crazy, but
you know how I like to experiment.
Cut both ends off beets, slice into wedges,
toss in olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
Roast in baking dish at 425 F for 30 minutes till soft.
If you prefer, drizzle a little sauce over the top
Enjoy!

Brasstown Bald

 
Brasstown Bald

It was a warm and pleasant day
so we took a trip to Brasstown Bald.

It's the highest point in Georgia.
Too bad the restrooms didn't work, and
the elevator to the top been out since last July.
Elderly and handicapped need that elevator.
It was a beautiful clear day and
4 states can be seen from that vantage point.
Happy Sunday.
