It's the year of the kale, so I will preserve atleast some of it as chips. Online there's fancy destemmers. I found my funnel and gave it a try.  Works perfectly. If you need a visual, here it is:  

Work smarter, not harder.

Oooh! I'm going to try this! I always just use my fingers, and it never works as well as I'd like.

Great idea!  I do something similar to de-stem herbs and foraged greens like lambs quarters for smaller plants -- I use a colander and just pull them through.  :)

Such a great idea! This is fantastic!  Little hacks like this are a joy.

I choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.
