Spicy Basil Eggplant With Dates and Cashews.
It has garlic, ginger, and orange pepper. A whole cup of basil! I have dates my friend brought me from his recent trip to Dubai, so I'm excited about using them.
I guess you can't call it a salad, but a vegetarian or vegan entree? Will serve it with couscous or quinoa.
Pomegranate kombucha.
Dessert: a couple truffles and chilled decaf.

Dinners from one's own garden. Doesn't get any better than this!
We went to the Butcher Brothers today and scored a beautiful full rack of pork ribs. They are slow cooking on the grill and Ill put Stubbs barbecue sauce on them when served. Corn on the cob and cole slaw. Iced tea.
Enjoy the weekend!
