Becky – love your site. Just found it looking for heirloom beans. I’ve developed an obsession over heirloom beans as well (bianchettos cooking right now). Do you grow most of your own beans or buy them?

LOVE potatoes! As always, this all sounds wonderfully fresh and delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

I’ve resolved to stick with new ingredients this year, to cook with things I’m not familiar with. I get into the same-old-same-old rut. Red kale is a new one to me. Kale isn’t something I use very much at all, let alone red. I’ve heard how healthy it is though, full of micronutrients so I’m anxious to add it to my repertoire.

Oh, YUM.
This reminds me of one of my favorite Irish dishes — colcannon — which we always seem to make with kale instead of cabbage. Love the beer in here. But, then again… I’m from Milwaukee.

i just learned to eat all kinds of greens this year, like the chard and kale and watercress. even though you’d think with a name like mine kale would be requisite. now i’m always game to try a new recipe though for the beginning of the year while my resolutions are still strong i might stay away from potatoes and cheese. by february though i’ll be ready to try this one.

mmmm… this sounds like something that would be wonderfully satisfying made ahead and taken to work for lunch. Do you think they would re-warm via microwave well?
