I forgot:
I made Alton Browns eggplant last weekend. the second one he does in the video with the slices covered in sauce and broiled. They came out looking just like Altons, but I really didn't like them. The sauce sucked! My husband agreed. So, they might be better using just a good bbq sauce.
The biggest challenges of gardening are using up all your veggies...
To that end, this weekend I made a spinach casserole, which I was informed wasn't a casserole but a souffle (think spinach quiche without the crust). It got the thumbs up from the husband (he's such critic).
