What are eggplants? Eggplants are fruits that like to pretend they’re vegetables (and we’ll play along and call them a vegetable for this Ingredient of the Week). They’re thought to go all the way back to prehistory in India. It made its way around Asia, then travelled to Europe and North Africa via the Mediterranean Sea, where it was thought to cause insanity and death. It finally made its way to America, where it was used as a table ornament until the 1900’s, when people finally got their act together and realized the beauty that is a perfectly crafted eggplant parmesan....

I’M BACK!

So yes, like I’ve been saying, I am dieting. I know you’re going to get bored of this conversation, but it’s happening. Sorry. But luckily it’s grilling season around here. And strawberry season too.
