Kale Chips Are Going Mainstream

September 9, 2010
Labor Day 013

Look what I saw at Whole Foods on Monday: I guess kale chips are mainstream now.  I was tempted for about 5 seconds to try them, but then realized I can make 3 to 4 times the amount for the same price. In fact, the price of kale chips was partially why I bought a […]

So maybe this experiment of photographing the lunches I  bring to work with me may continue a bit longer than the initial reasons I started to do this (see here for background) Contents of lunch + […]
