Eggplant and pepper goodness Our garden is producing lovely eggplants and peppers, so I finally experimented with ajvar:

Will try an eggplant ikra also, to roll in some of the wonderful tomatoes Bill is producing:

Next year we plan on a TON of eggplants. Shopping at the Lebanese markets (mostly Neomonde, but have added another one in the Method Rd neighborhood) has really grown our appreciation of these veggies that I fell in love with solely because they are so beautiful.

I got a heated tortilla press to make flour tortillas or rotis (or, it turns out, very thin pitas) - it works wonderfully. So with flatbread and pepper/tomato/eggplant spreads, what more could we need? Well, besides onions and garlic; I need to add those to next year's garden plan, too, I guess.
