Whoops. Forgot the most important part: pack it in jars and then cover it all with a light vegetable oil (I use sunflower).

Peel and halve the eggplant and then cut it into thin slices. Layer the slices in a big bowl or pot, sprinkling salt (I use the chunky non-iodized pickling salt) and white vinegar over each layer. Stick a plate on it and something heavy to press down, cover it with plastic and let it sit for 48 hours (make sure all the eggplant is covered with the vinegar).

After 48 hours drain it through a strainer, pressing the eggplant a bit to crush it down. Pack it into pint-sized jars or tupperware and add 1 clove of crushed garlic, a teaspoon of dried oregano and a half-to-one teaspoon of dried chili flakes to each jar. Store it in the fridge and wait about a week for the flavours to permeate before eating. It’ll keep for several weeks in the fridge (my Italian friend’s mom makes this and they say it’ll keep for a year but I always eat it within a month). Eat it on a nice Italian or light rye bread.

I am your opposite – cause I LOVE eggplant.
Love it.
One of my most favorite eggplant dishes is baba ganoush. Just bake and puree with a few spices, and you have a good hummos like dip that freezes really well too.

Here is a link to a good recipe:

Since it is from “fat free vegan” if it isnt creamy enough add a little mayo to your puree.

Enjoy!

I can answer those questions for you: no, no, no, no and no. I’ll warn you though, when my feet hit the floor on my 30th birthday they did seem to hurt, noticeably.

It has been so long since this post that I married the lobster roll, had three kids, and divorced it.

Ok, I was seriously contemplating going to wellfleet (DRIVE IN)/camping sometime before the summer was over…but I think your post just put me over the edge I like lobster, that roll looks good, and I LOVE crushed ice in my soda.

Why don’t MORE places have crushed ice?

Those look delicious! My girl made some today – our favorite recipe is from Heid Swanson’s cookbook, Super Natural Cooking. I gave it to her as a Christmas gift because she had been salivating over it for a while. One of the smartest things I’ve ever done!
