Stir fry eggplant

         Not much today. I tried a new recipe. And it's so easy I won't need to follow the recipe next time. Someone gave me a homegrown organic eggplant. It's not certifiable because they can't swear that all the neighbors don't use pesticide or have weed killer in the runoff. However, I didn't want to buy special cheese or spaghetti sauce so I looked around for the easy recipe and came up with stir fry.

         Now I think this might be a little healthy. You wash and chop up the egg plant. Add chopped garlic cloves. I added 3 because that's all I had. I minced it by hand. I used onions that we grew in the back yard, and I know they are not organic even if they are homegrown. I also used homegrown basil. There's no chemicals directly on it or the soil, but things are in the air in this neighborhood. I added a pinch of black pepper and stir fried in olive oil.

         The verdict: delicious. We loved it. I sprinkled soy sauce in it just before serving. It was fast, had a quick clean up, and went well with rice. We'll do it again.
