The kitchen was the most interesting part.<BR/><BR/>PJ, we have been under sunny skies for 10 days or so. Ouf!<BR/><BR/>Emm, the eggplant halves were well cooked. The anchovie was just the right saltiness and a good counterpoint to the tomato and eggplant, along with the cheese. It's a great recipe. I wish we had more eggplants coming in the garden, but I think they are about finished for the season.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-46423520594388164392008-09-24T03:56:00.000+02:002008-09-24T03:56:00.000+02:00Well, d'uh.
