THE ZUCKER GALS DID IT AGAIN... ONE FABULOUS MEAL

WE WERE IN VERMONT, THE DAYS WERE STARTING TO GET SHORTER, THE AIR WAS AROMATIC WITH HARBINGERS OF FALL SCENTS.....

SUNFLOWERS WERE RELEASING THEIR SEEDS

EGGPLANTS WERE DISPLAYED AT THE FARMERS MARKET IN ALL THERE GLORY

JORDAN AND I WERE USING THE SEASONS BEST, IN QUICK EASY AND DELICIOUS WAYS... JAPANESE EGGPLANTS SIMPLY SLICED, SAUTED IN OLIVE OIL WITH SALT AND PEPER.  SHISO PEPPERS WERE ADDED AT THE LAST MINUTE TO BLISTER THE SKINS.  JUST BEFORE SERVING CHOPPED GARLIC WAS ADDED.

ALL SMILES 

THE NEXT DAY JORDAN TOOK ASSORTED GREENS AND SAUTED THEM, ADD CREME FRESH , SALT , PEPPER AND GRATED FRESH HORSERADISH AND TOSSED ALL TOGETHER

BZ GRILLED TWO DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF THE FAIRY EGGPLANT

A SCREEN WAS ADDED TO THE GRILL SO THAT THE BABIES DIDN'T "FALL THRU THE CRACKS"

FIRST COURSE WAS TOMATO SOUP WITH BASIL CREAM
