Lebanese Eggplant Boats & Mango Lime Sorbet

Quarantine supper tonite...  Live from NYC...
🎵 Rain rain go away...  come again another day...  painting house will have to wait...  so rain rain go away... 🎶

Today was dreary and rainy...  humid but cooler than the past few days.  After the days office work...  filing...  paperwork...  yawn...  there was no playing in the garden since everyone was still damp from yesterday...  so off to the kitchen to experiment...

Bought a big bag of overripe mangos at the market on Tuesday...  after last nights supper we still had mucho mangos...  so today it became sorbet.  So simple...  four ingredients...  mangoes, sugar, lime juice, salt...  I couldn’t help but taste the purée as it loaded it into the ice cream machine...  soooo yummy.  Haven’t had any frozen yet...  tomorrow for sure.

Special thanks to Linda Kiger Smith for the Lebanese eggplant recipe...  it was beyond delicious...  fabulous flavors made the best possible use of our first two eggplants from the greenhouse....  today’s cooler temperatures allowed the oven to do the work without heating up the kitchen...  Served it alongside some toasted bread gifted to us by our lovely neighbor and accompanied by a delicious Pinot Noir...  the hubs eyes lit up when he tasted it...  this will be made again...  the spice combination is already rattling around in my head for more applications....  wonderful 💞😷

Tomorrow we are donating two lawn and leaf bags of linens and curtains to a local family who’s son just returned from deployment...  is getting married and moving out of state.  We are so pleased to be able to help this marine veteran get on his feet with his new wife.  👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨
How was your day?  What on your plate?  Thoughts?
