if you go by this film the 70's-80's ev scene was populated by more film makers than punk rockers. Lots of familiar faces and voices here out of our not-so distant past. On net flix. Recommended!

Kale, parmesan, pine nuts, currants, olive oil, lemon, salt. The key is cutting the kale very fine. I do some de-stemming first, and then roll the leaves into kale cigars. This makes it easier to chop. Then I put them in a bowl with some lemon juice and let it sit for a while. Not sure if that really works or not but the idea is that it softens up the raw kale a little more. Toast the pine nuts. Microplane parmesan. I just wing the proportions, but it's pretty easy if you just keep tasting. I use currants because they are small, but if I can't find them I just use regular raisons and chop them up a bit.
