An Evening's Dine

The easy and beautiful little meal . . .

• Slice thin some fresh eggplant and rub a bit of olive oil onto it with your hands.  Then some salt, pepper, sweet marjoram, and hot curry powder sprinkled on top of the eggplant.  Place all these on a sheet pan (sprayed first) and into a four hundred degree oven for about twenty minutes.  Finally, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on top and continue to cook an additional several minutes.
• The ciabatta bread from the frozen section at the grocery.  Follow its directions and heat it up in the oven along with the eggplant.
• The dipping sauce.  Stir around some chopped garlic, salt, garlic powder, and basil into a pretty bowl of olive oil.
• The asparagus.  Place it into a small pot of boiling water, turn off the burner, and let the tender little things cook for just about three minutes.
• The fruit.  Mango and strawberry with a dollop of non-fat cottage cheese.
• Wine.  A Cabernet Sauvignon.
