Chocolate and kale (probably) do not mix
I'm currently trying some "snacking chocolate."
You know, as opposed to "eating chocolate," "licking chocolate," and "decorative chocolate." It's okay. The thing I like best about it so far is that it's salty; I love salt in sweet things.
But it resembles the choc-kale-late we saw on our trip to Oregon and makes me wish all over again that we'd bought it! Yes, I know it would have been terrible! But it would have been an experience we'd never have forgotten.
Which brings me to the fact that gishwhes this year has banned kale and all mention of kale, and ... I'm relieved, because kale is disgusting. There, I said it! It's got all the solidity of lettuce and none of the humidity, beauty, charm, or flavorlessness.
gishwhes this year also has porcupines. I don't know, don't ask. Still, the commandments are always a hilarious read--check them out, if you dare. (You'll find out all I know about the porcupines, too.) SpringLea was our commandment maven; she kept us straight, alas. I tell ya, if my team's annual new team members would just read the damn commandments instead of asking the group about basic stuff that's fully covered there (duration of videos, etc.), we'd all have so much more time for completing items! They make the rules hilarious to hold your interest; it's not like they're a chore to read, but people just as a general rule eschew the reading of instructions. My eventual dream for my gish team is to have a team of fifteen people as awesome as my core team members who've returned every year. We'd have the best team ever. Someday, maybe.
What's going on in y'all's lives?
