When Life Gives You Eggplants…
This week has been a bit of a whirlwind, with rehearsals, our fall Pax Christi Chorale – Blest Pair of Sirens show, work and life. It is in these busy times, that we often need to pause and take stock, maybe over dinner. When we showed up for the rehearsal with the orchestra, for Sunday’s performance, our dear friend Lois stopped us on the way in. “I have something for you.” She reappeared with a bag with beautiful Sicilian eggplants and asked if we could make something out of them. The utter joy that Lois displayed, when she presented me with these gorgeous aubergine globes, that she procured from a farmer’s market, warmed my heart. The menu had been roughed out, but we do love a challenge. Shawn immediately thought of Eggplant Caviar, something I had never heard of. This should be interesting, especially with very little prep time.
