Alright, I admit it, bikers make me nervous. I’ve never really known a biker or even met a biker for that matter, so where did these unfounded jitters generate? Probably from growing up in the 70′s. I blame everything on the 70′s. Well, after meeting Biker Billy at the Ocean County Bookfest (of all places) I am happy to say that my biker nerves were quickly tamed.

Every once in a while I like to turn over the kitchen to the man in my life, who happens to love Indian food. We cooked together the other night since I wanted to add fried eggplant (you all know my obsession with using all the eggplant I’m now harvesting) to the menu. It turned out delicious, so here you go.

It’s the time of year in New Jersey when those of us who garden are seeing the fruits of our labor and are up to our you-know-whats in eggplant and tomatoes. I was complaining the other day (to myself because no one I know really cares about these cooking dilemmas of mine) that so many of the eggplant recipes are so heavy. Most of the Greek, Italian and Indian recipes using eggplant that I know of all call for heavy cheeses or sauces. So, in my effort to come up with a yummy, “light” Eggplant dish, I give you the following. It really is very good, and if you want some eggplant, stop by my house. (Oh, and sorry the picture is so lousy. I am a lot of things, but food photographer is not one of them.) »» Grilled Flank Steak with Eggplant and Tomato Gratin

Peter and I set out on Saturday to explore the little town that lives in the big shadow of famous, crowded, touristy New Hope, PA. Yep, I’m talking about sweet, homey, quirky Lambertville, NJ. We were pleasantly surprised to find parking within minutes of entering town. Granted we had to feed the meter a fair amount of quarters, but after 6pm parking is free, so luckily, it wasn’t an all night concern.

Before the Summer is officially over, you have to try these beans. They go really great with the Baby Back Rib recipe I posted a couple weeks ago. I decided to take a picture of the different beans that go into the dish, because the “Butter Beans” can be hard to find. In the local Foodtown they go by the name, Limagrands and its the Superfine brand.

I planted Eggplant this year. I’m not sure why because I have very few recipes other than Eggplant Parmesan and Grilled Eggplant, both bore me to tears, so why do I have about 20 Eggplant ready and at the waiting?
