->  RH> I skipped the farmer's market this week.  The corn I got there last
->  RH> week wasn't as good as the corn from a local supermarket chain this
-> 
-> Much as I'd like to get corn, I'm not, so as not to tempt Steve and
-> possibly trigger a migraine.  We got a big round striped eggplant this

I'd forgotten about those.  When I get headaches, they're sinus or
MS-related.  

-> past Saturday that I'll be turning into eggplant parmesan shortly.  The
-> little ones we got last week were peeled; dredged in flour, egg, & bread
-> crumbs; then fried tonight.  Steve probably had about 2/3 of the total
-> amount. (G)
-> 
I just got hold of some of the little white ones in the markdown bin.  No
clue what I'll do with them yet, but they're my favorites.
 
-> -> some ripen to red on the vine.
-> 
->  RH> Red peppers are much better, and roasted red peppers ... nom, nom.
-> 
-> He said that they (red peppers) get all wrinkly; he'd tried leaving some
-> on to ripen one year.  Said it wasn't worth it--but we'd buy red if we
-> could get them at a decent price.

I don't like the green ones much.  
 
->  RH> Cooked spinach isn't food unless other ingredients are added. 
Onions
->  RH> and garlic come to mind.  Throw it into some ricotta cheese and
fold
->  RH> the whole mess into an omelet and you might have something.  Plain
->  RH> spinach .. ecch.
-> 
-> Cooks weren't that creative at college. A spinach lasagne or quiche
-> might have been good, had the cooks known how to make one.  Plain
-> spinach is best with pepper vinegar--a taste I acquired on my first trip
-> to NC but on collard greens.
->
I'd take a crack at that.  It sounds good.  
 
-> 
->  RH> UConn wasn't huge, but it began as an agricultural school.  They
still
->  RH> have about the largest agricultural science department in New
England.
-> 
-> Surprising, not all the state is asphalted over or has a multi million
-> dollar house on every corner. (G)

(LOL)  Stereotype alert!  The only part of the state even close to that is
Fairfield/Greenwich.  Those bits of the state are just New York 'burbs with a
different ZIP code.  The rest of the state isn't even close.  There is too
darned much asphalt though.
 
->  RH> Sam wasn't a rocket scientist, but he could spot a soft touch at
fifty
->  RH> paces, no doubt.
-> 
-> That's why he bonded so tight with Deborah the first night we had him.
-> She let him into her room--he settled down, went to sleep and woke up as
-> her dog, whether she liked it (most of the time) or not (there were
-> times he was a bit trying.................).
-> 
He knew a good place to crash when he found one.
