Another Italian dish that I’d never even heard of that Tiger made for dinner (see this for the correct pronunciation). Basically, it’s seasoned flank steak rolled around hard-boiled eggs and cooked in the crock pot in tomato sauce (or gravy, as she insists ;) ). She served it with pasta and fresh steamed asparagus. I passed on the egg (eggs are one of the many things I don’t like, for the most part) but the rest of it was delicious!

“Melanzanas” are eggplants in Italian. This is a delicacy that Tiger made that’s an old family recipe. It’s basically pickled eggplant with some other vegetables and spices added. The only eggplant I’ve ever had before was Eggplant Parmesan. That wasn’t my favorite, but I thought that I’d at least try this.

It appears that eggplant is unlikely to ever show up on my “favorite foods” list ;)

Last Sunday Tiger made a favorite of hers that her grandma used to make, the recipe is here.

I have to admit that I was a bit hesitant- I’m not very fond of eggs. But this was very good :) We had it without any meat and I thought that it needed some salt. Adding some bacon, breakfast sausage, or ham would probably do the trick.

I won’t say who claims that I’m a picky eater.

OK, here goes…
