home from red lodge tonite. had a lovely weekend. on our way to billings we stopped at the rest area. the keys got locked in the car! we had to borrow a a cell phone from someone stopped at the rest area also. we called a wrecker company and they drove out and opened up the jeep. but it did not crush our excitement for the weekend plans. we kicked it off on friday nite with dinner at pug mahones. live craic was playing. it was super! justy and i enjoyed a guinness and we all had fish and chips, except izzy...she had irish cream tiramasu!
on our way home today we stopped in at brans to see her and little hugh. he is very precious.
it felt good to be home tonite. i was ready to make something simple. i took chinese eggplant and sliced it the long way. i drizzled olive oil on it and baked it on high heat until it began to brown and then i flipped it over and baked it longer until it was browned on the other side as well. while this was cooking i made a sauce. i took 5 cloves of garlic and sauteed them in the oil with one shallot. after a couple of minutes i added one can of stewed tomatoes and a couple inches of totatoe paste. i simmered this for about 15 minutes.
i placed the browned eggplant in my le cruset braiser, sprinkled parmesan on it, poured my sauce on, and added more parmesan. i put it in the oven for about 15 minutes.
very good and simple.
i just finished a beautiful Swedish foreign film; everlasting moments. a film about forgiving and adapting. it occurs in the early 1900's. i highly recommend it!
