I walked into the grocery store today and noticed that eggplants were on special.
Memories came back to me of sharing the grill with my dad, charring my beloved combination of eggplant, asparagus, red onion and sweet potato alongside his steak. Then I remembered roasting entire baking sheets full of eggplant for shared weekday lunches with my mom. And I thought of all the fantastic Mediterranean mezze we've discovered together, one of my most favorite being baba ganoush.
And then I got hungry and decided to forget my original grocery list and instead buy some eggplant to roast in the oven, which I tossed with spinach and hummus. Sometimes you just need a little taste of home. For the sake of good memories.
