Grilled up a fuck ton of eggplant for the week. Now mingling with EVOO, lemon, cracker peppers and parsley for at least 24 hrs.

Sounds good-do you serve it as is, or do something with it?

In a sandwich is the classic, but can be just like that, on the side. Great for topping crostini or pasta.

I had maybe one of the best pastas of my life a couple of weeks ago. The eggplant fusili on this menu, I was devouring it it was so good. This place is one of the trendiest, busiest Italian spots in the city.

I cant for the life of me understand why one would not want to be at the forefront of a Zeke/Jonas movement.

Hilarious. I tried searching for a picture someone maybe posted and instead found a video of the chef preparing it! Enjoy.

I can tell you it involved blue cheese both internally and externally to the human body.

I assume this refers to a bowel movement, in which case it’s entirely understandable why no one would.

Im guessing when you eat dinner you need one of those compartment plates so your bland foods dont touch.

No, I just need to put a vegetable on the plate so that you don’t touch.
Pretending to like eggplant. Almost got me.

we needed a new wok.
I went online, Canadian Tire had a great sale, $200 cast iron Paderno wok on sale for $50. fantastic. order it online. boom. Mrs. Wayward approved (I sent her the product page and she gave it the green light)
then, I go to pick up the wok. it's not really cast iron and turns out it has some sort of non-stick coating. Mrs. Wayward specifically did not want anything with a non-stick coating. ooops. so today I returned it (my responsibility as the Crappy T is right next to my office). part of me wanted to try to sell it for like $100 on Facebook or Kijiji but honestly just couldn't be bothered.
anyhow, turns out Lodge makes a cast iron wok, imagine we will get that now instead.

Yeah I think I'm going to buy a smaller cheaper non stick with the notion that I'll have to replace it yearly. I've bought more expensive and cheaper non sticks and there doesn't seem to be a big enough difference between the two to justify the expensive pan. Also going to give my cast iron a real proper seasoning which should lead to me using it more than I am currently.
