The education of me


"It is not from ourselves that we learn to be better than we are."
*Wendell Berry

For a few years now I have been hearing and reading about Kale chips and how awesome they were. And I was skeptical - acutally more to the truth I was a non-believer. That changed this week. I love them. They are delicious. I ate pretty much a whole head of kale in one morning. Yay!

Also, who knew that bean plants were self-pollinating. I didn't. Now I do. A very cool thing to learn.

And finally, not so much as something learned, but something remembered...."Take it on the Run" by REO Speedwagon is a totally well-crafted song that I will always love. Like I said, I may forget some of the time, but somehow it always makes its way back.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

  1. I'm intrigued. I pretty much hear the word kale (or chard) and I tune out the rest. LA LA LA... I can't hear you... No thank you. Not interested. I don't care how healthy it is, I'll just turn my attention to this nice, roasted cauliflower or these sweet carrots now...

    I might take a taste if someone else has cooked it (just to be polite), but to actually go through the effort of cooking the stuff? (see above for my reaction.)

    hmmm...

  2. I really like that quote. It is true that we can learn a lot from other people. We can learn from other people's mistakes too. I think that is a important thing that people don't realize. We don't just learn from our own mistakes. We learn from other people's mistakes too.
