Kale & Sunflower Seeds
Kale is an extremely healthful leafy green and a more sophisticated cousin to spinach. However, I find kale to be a little bitter for my taste. I just read about "dinosaur" kale, a variety of kale that is sweeter and nuttier than regular kale, nicknamed "dinosaur" for the texture of the leaves.

Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.
