Yesterday, my assignment was to write about a beautiful farmhouse right down the road from where Jackie O lived...in the heart of New Jersey horse country. Tonight, I've been writing about the restaurant/cafe Table on Ten [on Route 10 in Bloomville, NY, in the Western Catskills] and its purveyors...oh, I am so dying to go there! They serve egg in a pan, celebrated wood-fired pizza, dishes I want right now.

Young Inez is the chef and her husband, Justus, built the pizza oven and even the beds upstairs, made from salvaged barn wood--there are a few rooms to stay in for the night.
There's even a microshop stocked with local products to buy, like raw honey, maple syrup, free-range eggs, beeswax candles. And it's in the mountains, to nourish my soul.
It was too far away to warrant a trip for this article, but it's so on my bucket list. Oh my! Good night.

- H. and I both slept very late today since Punchy was with Mimi and Poppy. Felt good.
- Bought two big bunches of purple [red?] kale to make kale chips, low-fat milk, avocados, blueberries for healthy eating. The old "crowd out junk food with healthy stuff" strategy.

How do you make kale chips? You said Punchy loved them so they must be great! I tried sautéing friilly kale in good olive oil and lots of garlic and found I didn't care for it's still-chewy texture versus, say, spinach.
ReplyDeleteI'm also pursuing the good to crowd out the bad.

Hi Nan. I'm on my phone now and can't paste link. Please go to foood52.com and search Easy Kale Chips. So simple! I made twice, once with rosemary olive oil and once with basil olive oil. I only used salt not the other seasonings. Bake on parchment. Btw don't worry about the pieces being too big. They shrink. I just very casually tear. Let me know how it goes! I made with green and with red kale. Love Alice xo
ReplyDeleteP.S. just made another panful, Nan.....a large cookie sheet. forgot to say, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top if you have it before serving. yum. love alice
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll give it a try, probably this weekend. I love roasted brussels sprouts and cauliflower so I might like this.
ReplyDeleteIt is surprisingly good even to a cookie fan like me ;)
