I'm actually eating the leftovers for breakfast right now with some roasted tomatillo salsa. I had an extra poached egg and I just rewarmed it in a cup of hot water at the office while the kale/beans/potatoes were in the microwave. And it actually worked! Thanks, abby and sheldon!

Keep it up, you make me happy to be one of the few New Yorkers who truly find joy in using their kitchens.

But I guess having one type of kale in your diet is better than none, right? Hi Chuck - I agree! claudia - I'm surprised you don't have kale coming out of your ears from your CSA! When you get your hands on some, give this a try. Vicki - Oh, that sounds like a great combo as well! Sara - The ladle worked beautifully - it's going to be my go-to method for egg poaching from now on. The schnitzel with fried egg sounds yummy! Greg - I hear you. There was a stage in cooking where the color just popped, but the kale was still a bit crunchy so alas, I had to continue. Ah, well. :) erik - You know, I don’t really like the regular frilly kale as much as I do the dinosaur/lacinato variety. But I guess having one type of kale in your diet is better than none, right?

I know what you mean though - if only you could keep that vibrant green of the fresh kale after it was cooked it would look so much better. It looks absolutely delicious to me.

I had a Wiener Schnitzel the other night with a fried egg on top. Yum! Also - the ladle is a great idea. I've always followed Julia Child's instructions and used a saucer but found it very hot on my hand and difficult to manoeuver. The ladle will solve that! Things with eggs on top are indeed great!

This looks like a great dish. I can almost taste the slightly bitter kale, creamy peas and potatoes, all coated with egg yolk... beautiful!

The odd thing is Dino (aka Cavalo Nero or Lacinto) Kale is one of my favorite vegetables, yet I can't stand regular decorative Kale. Maybe I used it to garnish too many platters when I worked for the caterer? Sounds delish!
