Recipe For Kale Pesto Recipe
If I could have any undercover job in the world I would choose to be a traffic officer. I don’t want the tedious chores like directing traffic, manning roadblocks or speed traps and checking drivers’ licenses. I want to be a real undercover traffic officer, the one in the unmarked car, who stops the idiots on the roads. Every morning I would be able to stop a lot of cars. We travel on a major road into work each day, and the speed limit is 80 kilometres per hour. However, most cars and trucks disregard this and travel at least at 100 kilometres per hour, if not more. I would also be able to stop the trucks and vans that pull into the road without regard for the traffic, and the people who go through red robots. In the afternoons I would stop all the people who do not know how to use a traffic circle. For some odd reason, people assume that if they are on the major road they can just go! Well, I would stop and tell them “no”, that is not how a traffic circle works! So, if you are in doubt about how to go around a traffic circle carry on reading! As you enter a traffic circle remember to look right (if you drive on the left hand side of the road). You always yield to the right. If there is a car to your right then wait for it to pass you, and of course stating the obvious, if there is no car then go! And be decisive. Once you are in the traffic circle you must move. In a small traffic circle indicate as if you were at a normal intersection. In a large traffic circle such as the ones we get in Welkom, or that you find in Paris, indicate when you enter the circle and when you exit. These large traffic circles might have a priority entrance. Also, in a traffic circle where there are two lanes keep in mind that the outer lane as you enter is for turning left and going straight, and the inner lane as you enter is for going straight and turning right.
Now that the traffic lesson is over, let’s turn to a simple recipe lesson. Kale Pesto is easy to make. I have an abundance of kale in my garden which at present is feeding the caterpillars. I am looking forward to a garden full of butterflies soon! I keep changing my mind about where to put my vegetable garden and I have decided to go back to my original plan of having a pavement garden so that I can share my abundance with people who walk past our house. In the meantime, the kale is in the ‘old’ garden and the dogs just love walking through all the plants
