A yummy Dutch treat that now even my Canadian children will eat!. I usually harvest the kale in the fall, after the first frost or so, as then the taste is better, and will strip it from the big stems, put it in a freezer bag and while it's in its frozen state I crush the kale, to make it smaller and easier to eat and mash. My mother in law freezes it too after she's cooked it (blanched) it first. Afterwards she treats it the same I do. Once you've mashed the potatoes and kale, I stir a good dash of vinegar over it, and cut the sausage up. Make some gravy with it, and you've got a one pot meal that's hearty and delicious in winter times.......Maria Kievithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572826941353222447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-34969687839800850892012-05-19T20:11:26.806-07:002012-05-19T20:11:26.806-07:00Thanks to you & Sue for taking us along on you...Thanks to you & Sue for taking us along on your wildside walk!

Most of the river rats I am acquainted with are oh, about 5-7 yrs old and human! LOLKathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.com
