About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist

I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

Kale? It looks feathery, though I know it would feel much different to the touch.

  It is kale and it certainly isn’t soft and feathery to the touch.

    It’s looks like a variety I used to grow that had the nickname “dino kale” because the crinkly crest looked like something on a dinosaur.

    I’ve not heard that nickname here but I bet it is the same and I probably don’t know my kales that well. From now it will be dining on ‘dino’.

Fairies planted this, right? Send some right away, please, so I can confirm. Thank you.

  I have not found a way of cooking it that makes it palatable so I hope the fairies didn’t plant it. I think they spent their time on the passion fruit.

What an interesting plant, Irene! The leaves look like a hooked rug!

  And to me Noelle it tastes perhaps like a hooked rug would taste if one were to give it a go.
