Then one day, what do I see in the garden but an incredibly healthy eggplant plant, rising from the soil like the very phoenix! There must have been a small second plant in the pot when I planted it, and it finally found its moment to shine. It has flowers now, but it's a race against time--we could get frost any day. But isn't that a lesson to never count nature out?<br /><br />Re the codes, I dislike them, too, and I don't really have anything to do with them, they just come with the Blogger program. In spite of them, the robots still get through....<br /><br />Broad bean paste is a little harder to find than the soy bean chile paste; either will work.<br /><br />WF: Nice to hear from you. I've never had eggplant and fish, not that I can recall, but it would be a good combination. Bengali shrimp and cucumber sounds fantastic.<br /><br />Hey, Angie, thank you for the offer, and I will be in touch. I have been keeping up with your progress on the farm--you two are really keeping busy, and everything is looking great!<br /><br />Cheers, all~ BrettTrout Caviarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236671377889601457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190698551624574472.post-4251410060063483132012-09-09T11:55:35.392-07:002012-09-09T11:55:35.392-07:00Hi Brett,

Otherwise, eggplants has never tasted bitter to me. But then again, I don't buy them in winter....<br /><br />Eggplant, olive oil, garlic... can't get any simpler, and hardly any better. But thank you for sharing the Sichuan pork & eggplant recipe... and the introduction of a new-to-me ingredient: broad bean paste...<br /><br />PS - It's lovely to read your gardening and culinary journal at your new place.Sylvie in Rappahannockhttp://www.laughingduckgardens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190698551624574472.post-65674409141219977632012-08-24T07:16:55.979-07:002012-08-24T07:16:55.979-07:00Well, "dabbler," you must have missed th...Well, "dabbler," you must have missed the invitation.
