Couldn't get a good picture using just my computer as a camera, and with the wrong lighting, and clicking the "3-2-1-cheese!" button with my big toe, but I thought I'd show you anyway, because it's unbelievable. You see, I am a cooker of kale. Kale is a regular lunch item for me, and I steam it the night before, or sometimes I'll do something else with it. Usually just steamed in a bit of water, though, then sprinkled with plum vinegar. Today I thought about how variety is the spice of life, and I boldly bought PURPLE kale instead of regular kale. And the steaming water turned the craziest green I've ever seen. Not vegetable green at all. Not kale green. It turned spearmint green. Green like the emerald city. Green like jello and easter egg dye. A crazy and lovely green. And dude, I'm tired. I had to get up early and wait for my phone to ring with news of school being canceled due to ice. I had to lie in bed before my alarm and focus on my phone. Kids were already off but teachers had to work. I had to lead a training at my old jr. high school and was NOT enthused. "Ice, ice, baby," I said to my phone, but the call never came. The ice barely even came. It's coating all the trees and had encased my car, but hadn't made the roads bad enough for the phone to ring. So I had to go through with it, my long and belabored day, then lackluster spinning class, and yet despite being this tired I still managed to rouse the energy to take this picture. So that should tell you what a lovely, super-special kind of green this is.
Not kermit green; closer to glowing alien green when the lighting is a little dim.
