As promised, I have some cooking to blog about! I made some Eggplant Parmesan that actually turned out, but I failed to take some pictures. Now that I know what I am doing I'll get some pictures, or snaps as they are called here and blog about that soon (as there is more of that in our near future)!
Today I had lunch with two friends. It was wonderful to chat and learn about their go-to places in Bangalore. After lunch I went with one friend to a store that gets their produce in today. There was a good selection so I stocked up on some more veggies. We also went to another grocery store to look for the coveted lettuce (which can be hard to find here). They didn't have any; but I did find some figs!
My Mom talks about figs and how she would eat them when she went to visit her Grandma and Grandpa in Louisiana. There have been quite a few figs available at breakfast so I knew they must be in season. Also, one of the blogs I follow posted something about all of the things one could do with figs and I remember them roasting the figs with honey and serving them with goat cheese and crackers.
My mouth has been salivating since I got that idea so I didn't think twice and bought some!
This dish was rather simple to prepare. After washing them, I cut the tops off, quartered them, and placed them in a baking dish with the skin side down.
Then, I squeezed some honey over the top and finished it off with some fresh cracked black pepper. I remember the recipe said to use 1/4 to 1/3 cup. I didn't use that much, and after tasting them warm out of the oven I wish I would have used what the recipe recommended.
So, when I eat these I plan to put them on a cracker with some cheese and squeeze a bit of honey on top.
Tonight for supper I made a casserole that is complete with large amounts of tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and carrots.
Veggies: Check!
Fruit: Check!
Here's to hoping there are more balanced meals in our future!
