Especially the basil lemonade. This comment was so very You...it made me miss cooking with you, as well as being in the same state as you.

Oh luscious. Then take a piece of toast, put a piece of fresh basil, top with either a) a piece of yummy cheese (used to be my office's favorite snack!), or b) some of the roasted onion or eggplant. Minimum mess, maximum flavor. When does the vagabond streak end?Neenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669218258335429493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148911658254893074.post-863619556714432762008-07-30T18:54:00.000-04:002008-07-30T18:54:00.000-04:00An inappropriate dream about chana masala, eh?

Really!!<BR/><BR/>Well, the Oranges - Jeanette Winterson (a favourite) - would go into a salad with fennel and olives.<BR/><BR/>Tofu, into a miso soup or the silken, wobbly stuff into a lemongrass and coconut milk broth. <BR/><BR/>Eggplant - it's a series of essays/stories, no? Alone In The Kitchen With (said) Eggplant - grilled over an open flame then mushed into a garlicky babaganoush. <BR/><BR/>Onions - sounds familiar - sliced and caramelised. By the tonne, for a vegan pizza with rosemary (from the garden) and potato slices. <BR/><BR/>Basil - yes, it's the beautiful children's novel from the 1960's which I used to sell hand over fist to willing young readers - why, pesto, of course!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524429760235996360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148911658254893074.post-38755940157211506542008-07-30T05:35:00.000-04:002008-07-30T05:35:00.000-04:00The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E.

Take the eggplant and slice it thickly and lay it on a grill or on an indoor grill pan. Grill it with plenty of coarse salt and peppy until it’s tender and browned. In the meantime, take some regular, crappy, store-bought balsamic vinegar and put it in a small saucepan (non-stick preferable or you’ll be cleaning the pan for awhile). On medium-high heat cook the vinegar until syrupy and reduced by half. Spoon the reduced vinegar over the eggplant and top with lots of julienned basil. Really good atop some arugula.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
