I had the hugest eggplant, perhaps ever, in my refrigerator just waiting for the right moment to be introduced to the grill. This morning, in anticipation of an afternoon spent poolside in the Berkshires, turned out to be the perfect time to get those two together. I don't know if you grill eggplant, but you … Continue reading Grilled Eggplant – ground zero for good summer eating

How do you like those tomatoes?
Here in the DelSo we're neighborly. We like to share baked goods, pot-luck dinners and bottles of wine, and I love the sense of community we enjoy in our neighborhood.
