What to do when a (very) poorly-timed home renovation means that you simultaneously have no kitchen and are late starting the spring veggie garden?

Step 1. Pull up last year’s kale that over-wintered in your garden to make room for the new seeds.

Step 2. Stem, wash and chop

Step 3. Put on the smoker about an hour after the potatoes that you already have going there

Step 4. Stir in fun butter and cook on 225 degree smoker for 15-20 minutes until soft

Step 5. Don’t include pictures of the meat you were also smoking to keep the online vegan trolls from coming after you.
