Kale....it's the new "black"

There is no doubt for this market chick that the singularly most sought after, photographed and talked about "super food" or in this case "super veg" is kale.  

As a photographer this vegetable is sensational to capture due to the various life forms it can take whether it be edible or decorative or even as the "drink".  

The adage "if it's green then it must be good for you" takes on an entirely new life form.  Kids are drinking, adults adore it, gardens love it, nutritionists can't sing its praises highly enough.

What is it about this nature's wonder that is (to the market chick's mind at least) has it at Number 1 for however many millions of consecutive months of the vegetable chart.

So as not to be left off the bandwagon the market chick felt duty bound to partake in the celebration known as Kale...... et voila!

Fungii

Fungii....mushrooms even!  They taste sublime and nothing but nothing is more intoxicating and mouthwatering than when fried in butter, scattered with a bit of chopped parsley (flat leaf please, none of this curly business!) to be consumed IMMEDIATELY!

Then there is the world of the exotic.  We taste them when we eat Chinese cuisine (amongst others) half the time without realising it!

Admittedly there are times when the 2095 chick wishes she was a bit more brave in trying them within the domestic environment and given the variety now available at market, this fear should be overcome sooner rather than later.

Photographing them is pure bliss.  Each shot is perfect.  You can't NOT take a bad photo and as such the hommage to the fungii begins
