Eggplant Lasagna

 Resurgence supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Classic fall day…  51°F cloudy skies…  blustery…  dropping into the high 30’s overnight…  squirrels 🐿 working overtime packing their little bellies full…  fattening up for the long winter nap ahead…  more and more trees…  bare limbs rattling in the wind…  dusk arriving…  their long eerie shadows resemble spirits flailing their arms…  the winds howling aaaooouuuu 💨 

Breakfast… coffee ☕️ and orange cranberry corn cakes for two…  also, cottage cheese with banana and berries for the hubs…  checking on the greenhouse… all is well… chilly but tolerable… the heat lamp keeping temps  5°F above outside levels… no frost zone 🌡 

Few hours of paperwork and calls then off to the kitchen…. Playtime 🙃

Meatless Monday supper tonite…  eggplant lasagna…  layers of roasted eggplant seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper… roasted on parchment at 400°F for about 10 minutes each side…  intermixed with ricotta cheese blended with an egg and parsley…  shredded mozzarella and homemade marinara… tomato purée seasoned with garlic, onion, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, cinnamon and fresh basil from the hubs hydroponic garden…  layer of sauce on the bottom… then… eggplant…  sauce… ricotta… mozzarella repeated three times finally topped with a layer of eggplant light sauce and loads of mozzarella and shredded Parmesan… baked at 350°F for 30 minutes… rested for 20 minutes before cutting and serving…  mmmmm…  so warming on this chilly night 😋

The thanksgiving rush is on…  airports ✈️ train stations 🚉 and roadways 🚘 all experiencing crowding…  hope your vaxxed 💉 and are t part of the post holiday surge #GetYourJabOn  very important when traveling to mask up… limit interactions…  sanitize those hands frequently and stay safe 😷💕
