We had a colder than expected (by me, anyway) night last night (35F/2C) & ended up with a light frost. Plants outside are ok, but, because I did not have any supplemental heating on in the greenhouse, the eggplant seedlings were NOT happy. They recovered as it warmed up, (pix are 1 hr. apart) but I fear long-term productivity consequences. We shall see. It's still going to be a while before the tomatoes, etc. can go out to play!

Today for lunch, I made some ratatouille bruschettas...
For dessert, homemade mint tea jelly with crème fraîche.
Enjoy your meal! 😛

Indoor growing update. It's all getting bigger. The peppers need to be spaced out, and I need to get a tray off the bench into the tent so they don't dry out so fast. Hibiscus is greening up and growing new leaves, the top of it looks good too but you can't see that. ;)

The other day in one of the magazines, there was a story about an incredible Afghani eggplant dish. And we do like an eggplant in our family. The writer was going on and on about how great it is but no recipe. I saved the story and went on a search. What did I discover? It was one of the dishes I made for our radio station dinner but did not get a chance to try — I have such hard time eating when cooking for big groups. Made it again for a smaller gathering and finally had some leftovers on the day after. And it was so so good!

The recipe for Borani Banian comes from the excellent book Pakistan by Maryam Jillani. I love food from this area of the world and this book is a treasure throve with ideas.

Here, fried slices of an eggplant are sandwiched between tomato sauce flavored with garlic, onions, Kashmiri powder, turmeric, and mint and yogurt spiked with lemon. Sounds simple but when it is put together it is crazy addictive.

The trap has been set. Will my photography buddy, @petedotnu, try to call me out on this #skin photo? #Aubergine skins; they count, and they taste good when roasted in the oven. #CheesebeesPhotoChallenge2026Week15 #food #eggplant #peel

How we love the eggplant and its versatility. This recipe sautés the eggplant until it is golden and then immerses it in a tangy, spicy tomato sauce before serving garnished with herbs. It is the perfect side dish or dish to eat just with rice for a light lunch, snack or supper.

Some aubergines (or shall I say eggplants?) from a year ago to practice shine! I added the green background on a whim and really like the contrast.

Diese Auberginen habe ich vor etwa einem Jahr gemalt, um Glanzlichter zu üben. Der grüne Hintergrund war eine spontane Entscheidung, der Kontrast gefällt mir sehr.
