Thanks for explaining that massaged kale is actually a legitimate food preparation technique - I think the phrase made me think of people massaging kale in the fields as it grows, like that one breed of Japanese cows.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

Wagyu kale! That is a great marketing idea.

That Oklahoma thing makes me think I should talk to my kids about it, but then I think probably 8 and 11 is too young for the nuance of who is allowed to say the n-word in what contexts, and also too young for the horrors of lynching. I dunno. It's hard to know when you're keeping them in a bubble, and then it's hard to know when it's too much too young. I read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry in 5th grade and honestly I think I never got over it (it is appropriate for that age but maybe I was too sensitive?)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Windsparrow, I tried the egg salad/avocado thing (thanks, Steph!), and by the time we finished it up (about a week later), it looked AWFUL. I seem recall that earlier (day 2 or 3) it wasn't bad, though. Though mine looked odd from Day 1, just because you don't expect green in egg salad. I suppose I'd recommend home experimentation in your case to get a feel for how "weird" it looks before exposing any likely picky eaters. (To be clear, it only looked awful, still tasted fine).

For what it is worth, I knew about lynching when I was five. I also knew about Harriet Tubman, Mary McCloud Bethune and John Brown, and had heard "Strange Fruit". Then again, my upbringing was not average, and I'm not sure I turned out alright. My first creative work was inspired by my parents raising money for Angela Davis's defense fund. It was an embarrassingly bad poem. And while I have mercifully forgotten most of it, I do remember comparing Davis to Joan of Arc, and rhyming "Angela Davis" with "Only the people can save us".
