Since buying a juicer, I find myself with a lot of kale in the fridge. Today I decided to see what a kale salad would taste like.

I cut up some kale leaves into little shredded strips, added equal portions of carrots and tomatoes. Then added a diced avocado into the mix. Finally, topped it all off with lemon infused olive oil and sweet balsamic vinaigrette.

I left the thick center stems of the kale leaves out. The leaves are tough enough without trying to chew through half a tree branch.

After all that, it tastes pretty good. Probably because the other ingredients hide the kale taste pretty well.

From our condo in the Kauai Beach Villas http://www.riversidealohakauai.com/ we walked out to the beach bright and early to watch the sunrise. Jenn and Nicholas look pretty happy for 7:00am in the morning. Must be the 2 hour time change.

Nicholas loved the beaches in Kauai. His favorite beach was in Poipu because he could walk out into the water without a giant wave knocking him over.

Nicholas is ready to go for a walk. It’s cold outside so he bundles up. Then he walks around saying, “hat, hat, hat.”

Nicholas is growing up so fast. He got his first haircut about a month ago. Yesterday he got his first junk mail. I’m not sure where he’s submitting his info, but I guess we’ll have to pay more attention to his internet usage. You know, now that he’s 1.

I guess I should be glad it’s just junk mail. At least his email account isn’t filling up with spam.
