Seeking eggplant recipe ideas, as I have one limp eggplant in the fridge and 8 eggplants growing in hydroponics (which may produce a massive amount of eggplant).

So far my repertoire includes 2 dishes:

  1. Eggplant Parmesan (Italian)
  2. Eggplant in Garlic Sauce (Chinese)

(the family hates eggplant, except me, so we never eat it 🤔 )

@ai6yr I've literally had people come up to me at parties & tell me this was the best thing they've ever eaten in their life.

@ai6yr

I've made this so many times that I've lost count. It used to be my favorite thing to take to parties. It's a Julia Child/Simone Beck recipe from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, v.2. I wrote it up a long time ago & added glosses & pointers.

@ai6yr The hardest thing is making sure the eggplant is cooked enough.

Also, every once in a while, an eggplant will just have very little flavor. It's the only recipe I've ever seen by Julia Child where she recommends MSG if the flavor isn't quite as much as you think it should be.

It's also a nice recipe to turn into a garlic bomb. 😆

@ai6yr I was just told a few minutes ago that the one in Durham is closed. I guess they all bit it?

A map I saw on here earlier made me want to post this. I made it one day for the hell of it. #US #birds #stateBirds #cardinals

This is… poignant.

I don't know if there's a geolocation community out there or what, but maybe @ai6yr would know? No idea if this person is elsewhere besides Twitter.

What I was really doing earlier was wondering about replacing a hammer I used to have in my kitchen. I now have a, um, "correct" tool, but there was something satisfying about using an actual hammer to, say, flatten cutlets. I was looking at weights of these:

I may buy one, or I may not. I already have a dedicated hammer for crushing ice, so why not another? ;) #food #tools #cooking

@ai6yr Holy shit. Dishwashers etch stainless steel & glass, & actively eat away aluminum, so that's impressive!

@ai6yr I'm glad I read the alt text. Otherwise I would have thought the dog was grabbing the top of the fly on a pair of jeans.

No movie quiz today: heat went out at my house. Have it back up to 60 inside, but the central heat won't be looked at until midday tomorrow. I'll try to get last week's answer out later.

In other words, no Name This Movie. Wrong Answers Only tonight. 📽️

Anyone have any Hurricane making advice? This is for the cocktail, not a cyclone. :) I'd prefer not adding to my over-extensive liquor collection, but I'm happy to buy or make syrups or other inexpensive items. I imagine I need passionfruit. ;) I live in an #alcohol control state (#NorthCarolina), so ordering a particular booze can be hard. Cheers! 🍸

Hey gang, we have a new family member. His name is Buster. He's a 35# cattle dog mix rescue, and today is his & our gotcha day. He's already about 2. We're very happy. We hope he is too. He's working on destroying his 2nd toy. 😍

@darth, I tagged you elsewhere, but I was wondering if you think this is a good buddeh? ;)

Buster, a tan & white cattle dog mix with a pink nose & pointy ears. He's sitting on some bark mulch & has a leash & harness on in sort of a 3/4 view.

Buster apparently feels well enough to participate in the ritual soiling of the clean bedclothes. #dogs #BusterP
