Truer words were never spoken. I do NOTHING but love eggplant and have a recipe from Tomwed for it that I really like.
2 eggplants diced 5 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion chopped finely 4 clove garlic sliced 1 teaspoon sea salt 5 large tomatoes – skinned and deseeded 2 tablespoons tomato purée 1 cup water 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 2 tablespoons fresh mint – finely chopped 1 can cooked chickpeas – drained PREPARATION Add the eggplant to a large baking tray and toss them in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Roast on for 30 minutes until browned. Add the remaining oil to a large pan and add in the onion, fry on a low to medium heat until soft and slightly browning. Add the garlic and cook for a further few minutes. Next add the tomatoes, tomato purée, paprika, eggplant, and chickpeas. Cook for approximately 20 minutes. Add water if needed. Finally season with salt and the fresh mint. |

When I got my house it seemed right and I couldn't put my finger on why. About a year later the light bulb went on. It's the same as the library--the wood is the same, the counter the same, even where I stand at the island is the same. You think that would have occurred to me sooner. That's the kind of nothing story I like to write out. |

Here's another nothing story.
This morning I could not find the remote. I did the usual, removing the cushions, moving the sofa, looking on every flat surface, but nada. Once in 1978 I lost something I needed and could not find and I went through the garbage and found it. What a curse that turned out to be. For the last 40 years at least twice a year I loose something I need and after looking "everywhere else" I go thought the garbage. It's never there. The sofa I checked is a sleeper sofa, bed feature hasn't been used in years. I checked again. Somehow the remote slipped in the folded mattress. |

Sorry to let you NOTHINGS down today. I'm really feeling under the weather today and just didn't have much to say or energy to post it. Thanks, fw, for always being there to start out the day and to tomwed - love your stories, keep them coming along with your funny quips. It will help to keep things upbeat in lieu of the news today.
Upon hearing K's news, I feel we owe it to him to keep things going around here while he is out on an important and courageous mission. So proud of that NOTHING. Sending prayers his way for him to return home safely and quickly. Also prayers for his wife and other family members, that they are free of worry and find peace in the only One who can provide it at times like this. So carry on with any and all NOTHING in support of our Kommander...... |

So good to hear from you. You will be NOTHING but missed around here. Hopefully you will have an occasional opportunity to pop in and let us know you are okay. If not, we'll be here to greet you when you get back.

Just take care of yourself. You’re NOTHING but a Badass in our eyes. I had several uncles who were firefighters in the city, rough stuff.

One night there was a big spaghetti fund raiser at the HS after a golf match. I forgot who got the proceeds but it wasn't the golf team. So I ate with my friends and my team ate with their friends. After dinner one of my players said he was in trouble. [His dad was a great guy and had 6 kids. Everyone in that family golfed. I coached 4 of his kids that went to public school.] So my player [Tim, son 3] said he lost his retainer and his father is going to kill him. [I knew the dad, and the most it would be was a you let me down speech.] Tim told me he removed the retainer and wrapped it in a napkin. A cute junior girl who was on clean-up came around and maybe she put it in the garbage. Tim and I went through 4 barrels of spaghetti dinner clean-up before we found it. He washed it off and put it in his mouth. ooops--truth be told i forgot about nothing Last edited by tomwed; 08-03-2018 at 09:10 PM. |
