Eggplant and Potato Curry

I made this for dinner last night with the last of our eggplants from the farm share (which is now, unfortunately, over for the season). I served it over brown rice and it was delicious! A few deviations — I didn’t use fennel seeds as I didn’t have them, used curry powder instead of the ginger, coriander and cumin, and added some banana pepper along with the jalapenos. We had enough left over to freeze, and I’m looking forward to having it again when it’s quite cold outside.

It would be funnier if it weren’t so uncomfortably close to the truth.

McCain is Scared (But Pretty)

I’d just like to point you to this story, after the years we’ve endured hearing the Republicans mock John Edward’s pricey haircuts.

Next – McCain pisses off Letterman, who has no problem telling us how he feels about that. Now he’s canceling debates and “suspending” his campaign, something his people are trying to spin as a “maverick” move. Give me a break. (And by the way, every time someone calls McCain a “maverick,” I think of Charlie from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, cutting the brakes and screaming, “WILDCARD!”)

New Dress

My mom and I found this adorable Isaac Mizrahi dress at Target the other day (it’s much cuter in person than online). My brother doesn’t know yet, but he’s giving it to me for my birthday. It’s supercute, and I got size L for loose, flowery comfort. I’m thinking of wearing it to my birthday party…bare legs and maryjanes, maybe? I think it will also look good in winter, dressed up with tights and boots.

Tom’s Essay

Suzanne Vega blogs about Tom’s Diner — how she wrote it, the myriad remixes, and what it feels like to be the “mother of the mp3.” A great read. Bonus videos after the jump.
