Tomatoes!

This is two day's worth of yields. :-)

I also picked two more eggplants to give away, and then raided my next door neighbour's Chinese greens for stir fry for dinner. I left the eggplants in a plastic bag on their front door, but then I ran into her in the backyard! She picked heaps of the greens for me, and then was amused when I said I stir fry them together! Dinner tonight was awesomely simple - a jar of sweet and sour and the left over cold chicken for one dish, and Chinese greens with oyster sauce, ginger, garlic and onions in the other with a big pot of jasmine rice. Just a fantastic meal. Really, we could have gone without the sweet and sour chicken!

I made a joke with DH that if the economic downturn really hits, then I would buy another 10 kilo bag of rice, and a few seed packets for Asian greens! The grow quickly, and are full of fantastic nutrition and don't take up much space. A few very simple ingredients later and tasty stirfries for ever.

I think tomorrow night I might have to think of something yummy starting around eggplants and tomato!

something yummy around eggplants and tomatoes

I like to make lasagna using eggplants instead of pasta sheets. Add some mince,m some stock and some cheese and it would be a great way to use both the eggplants and the tomatoes together.
