She is from Andhra and she makes stuffed eggplant. The spice powder she uses is marvelous and I am sure it had peanuts in it. I never got a chance to ask for the recipe from her, since I always just asked her to make it for me. Next time I talk to her, I have to remember to ask her for the recipe. Eggplant Poriyal is sort of similar to stuffed eggplants, except the stuffing is not inside, but as a coating....

I can’t believe I’m writing another ‘last goodbye’ post. I feel like I just wrote the one for last year! This year has undoubtedly been a blur. But there’s so much to be grateful for. This year we completed all the projects we’d planned on doing in the house when we first purchased it. My kitchen is finally done. Although we didn’t rip out the floors or install new cabinets, the subway backsplash and the framed double-paned window we did install breathes so much new life into my kitchen....

For another classic sandwich recipe take a look at our Croque Monsieur. Some classic combinations are hard to beat. They’ve stood the test of time and survived. BLT sandwich is one of them. But just because the traditional recipe calls for bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiched between two slices of bread doesn’t mean there is no room for improvement. And I believe my real maple syrup glazed bacon is one upgrade this sandwich needed!...
