Autumn is coming!

It's such a beautiful day! For the past three months its been about ninety degrees every day, but today it's seventy, the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and someone was playing a harmonica at the farmer's market.

I bought four storybook eggplants, never mind I have no idea how to cook eggplant of any kind. They cost twenty-five cents all together - storybook eggplants are quite small - so it can't be too much of a loss, and it might be delicious.

Also! Raspberries! There will be a raspberry tart!

And Starbucks had samples of pumpkin bread when I went there for hot chocolate. Mmmm...pumpkin bread. I love autumn.

Henri can get stuffed. :P The only meaning in life is what you make for yourself.

If you have the little Thai-style eggplants, you should be able to cut them thin and stir-fry them. Bigger eggplants are usually best cooked twice, once to make them squishy on the inside and once for flavoring. Toasting slices under the broiler with a bit of olive oil until light brown generally works.
