Thankfully, Eggplants are easier for me to grow than pumpkins. They are so pretty, and we all love to eat them... the white ones are really beautiful, but we've decided that they don't taste as good as the purple ones. Been preparing them in the usual ways, grilled, alone or with fresh mozzarella or fresh ricotta, on top of just picked tomato, and arugula... and, the traditional way that Mom taught me... thin layers wrapped around an herb, cheese filling, topped with a light tomato sauce and baked...everyone's favorite. It's so satisfying to step into the garden and plan a meal around what is ready to harvest, combining two of my favorite pastimes.
