Cooking Again!

Well.... if you read my last post, then it said I was going to take J out to dinner tonight. But I decided to cook. Now here's a crazy story!! I get that way sometimes!!
*****
I have been following a website called the World's Healthiest Foods. The food of the week is Kale. I have never had kale, so I thought I would try it. So then I googled Kale recipes. I found this recipe called Peasant-Style Potato and Kale Soup. It sounded easy and good, so I printed it off. After work today, I stopped by the store and picked up the ingredients. Everything was pretty standard except for the chorizo and kale. I found chorizo. I have never cooked chorizo so I really didn't know what I was buying. It was the only package I could find, so I bought it. Then I went to the produce department and started searching for kale. No where to be found!! The recipe mentioned you could use collard greens, so that's what I bought.

I will probably never make this recipe again because prep time was too long. Peeling, cutting, chopping!!! The recipe said to cut the chorizo in half lengthwise and slice. When I cut the chorizo lengthwise, it started gushing out of the package. There was no slicing it!! I also cut the collard greens to big. It was too hard to eat with a spoon. Overall it was good and tasty, just not the best soup I have ever eaten!! But it had healthy collard greens in it!!!! That should count for something!!
