I cooked all week, making food for the Per Bastet Publications room part at Imaginarium and I forgot to take pictures of the food!
So here’s this.
One of my favorite kitchen “gizmos”, as my husband calls them:

He doesn’t care for eggplant, and I love it, so I bought a wee little one at the farmers market and fixed it for myself.
I cut it in half and smeared it with olive oil and sprinkled it with Jane’s Crazy Mixed-Up Salt. I grilled it on one side, then flipped it, so it would have that lovely grilled criss-cross.



SO GOOD!
I’m posting at Fatal Foodies about sad glazed carrots.

Now I like pizza, Lesley does not. But now I am diabetic on insulin, so, pizza is something I avoid. I shall survive!
Hey, where did the little happy sad etc buttons go?

October 15, 2019 at 9:38amThat “toy” is an indoor griller, Pete. Like the George Foreman, only cheaper. Which leads me to the happy sad etc buttons: They were only testing the product, apparently. Now they want me to pay for my readers’ emotions. I’m like, “I’ve been paying for my own emotions all my life; they can pay for their own. DELETE PLUG-IN”.

October 15, 2019 at 2:43pmIt’s a contact grill. Shoulda posted a picture of it with its mouth open.

October 15, 2019 at 6:46pmI only like eggplant in certain situations. This looks like one where I might enjoy it. It would depend on how smushy it is inside. I don’t like a gooey texture

October 16, 2019 at 7:49amYou would NOT like this!!!!! It’s meltingly creamy inside. Swoonworthy to momgoths, cringeworthy to dans.
