fun with a pound of baby eggplants

[bronze_ribbons]

(1) Rinse. Throw dodgy ones into yard for dog to chase.

(2) Boil. Store overnight in fridge.

(3) During dinner, mention throwing eggplants at dog. Smirk when the BYM says, "Well, that explains -- wait. Huh?"

(4) The next evening, peel.

(5) Puree with 1/4 cup yellow onion and a big dollop of leftover pesto.

(6) Layer a casserole dish with leftover colcannon, leftover roast chicken, leftover fresh mozzarella, and a cup of ricotta cheese. Spread eggplant mixture over top. Bake at 375 F for about twenty minutes.

(7) Spoon onto plates and serve with a tomato-spinach salad.

(8) Aim "at least I cooked" look at the BYM when he genially observes, "It looks like hell."

It tastes fine, though. Comforting, even.

True. That would have required having pasta in the pantry, though. (Bad enough that we were out of croutons, crunchies, and beer...)
