Purple haze all around

Last night I made an eggplant pizza.
Mmmm.
{Here is a nice recipe from Epicurious.}
I varied the recipe a bit, but that is what I love about pizzas.
You can do whatever you want and it usually tastes delish!
The eggplant and basil were fresh from my garden. I bought a little Japanese Eggplant this spring from the Green City Market and it has produced lovely.
Another recipe I plan on trying comes from my friend and Chef Efrain Cuevas.
On Monday he had an amazing feast at his new loft for his closest friend.
I died when I tried the roasted eggplant and goat cheese spread.
He used several types of eggplant, garlic and a shit ton of goat cheese.
Put it in the oven and magic happens.
Oh, and I was lusting over his tomatoes and peppers he had just picked from his farm earlier in the day. Just look at those pear tomatoes!

Ah, foie

Okay, well seeing as it wasn't some sort of Armageddon at 12:34:56 today,
I suppose I'll give you another post.

My friend, Chef Efrain Cuevas, is in this month's Chicago Social.

Pick it up on newsstands or read the article here.
