Benefit dinner for Kelly Funk and John Feree

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 23:42:49 +0000

It is with great sadness that I write this post asking folks to provide what ever support they can for Kelly Funk and John Feree of Seldom Seen Farm (http://seldomseenfarm.com/). John worked at Blue Moon and so is special to us. He and Kelly, his wife, have been farming in Indie for a couple of years now and have been doing fabulously well (for small organic veggie farmers). Kelly, a metal artist and new mom, was struck by lightning on July 8th while harvesting and, so far, has not awakened. The prognosis is mixed. There is hope and her wounds are healing. The Indiana Slow Food chapter is holding a benefit dinner for Kelly on August 22 (http://www.slowfoodindy.com/). You can provide support by attending the dinner, giving a donation (http://seldomseenfarm.com/?cat=22) or by simply sending positive energy through what ever means you feel comfortable with.

Psych-out weeds or blowing smoke?

This year we bring out the big guns to blow mulch. We do this with crossed fingers hoping the mice won’t pick up where the weeds leave off. Blue Moon ‘Rust Watchers’ will note another choice piece of Jon’s used-steel-collection.

Whether or not you call it Dinosaur kale, Black kale, Lacinato kale, or Tuscan

kale you are going to want to try this recipe from bonappetit magazine:

preheat oven 250
rinse kale leaves, dry and cut lengthwise in half to remove center ribs
coat with olive oil (about 1 Tbl per 12 large leaves) by tossing in bowl
add salt and pepper (alternate or additional seasonings work too -chili’s, tamari, lime)
place in single layer on large baking sheets and bake until crisp (about half an hour)
cool leaves on a on cooling rack if you have one
