The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution. Paul Cezanne

I love the garden, often when I can't think of what to have for dinner I go there for my inspiration. Tonite it was steamed, young carrots drizzled lightly with butter, and eggplant parmesan. The layers of tangy, freshly grated cheese, sauteed, sliced onions and eggplant, a garden-fresh tomato puree poured over all, with a final sprinkle of the cheese on top, and oven baked, was perfect for the later summer dinner we enjoyed on the patio.
