I used this recipe, but even three eggs was much.

It took four plus hours for me as salting the water from the eggplant took two hours. I think it needed more time.

Other than the shape Id say she did well. I thought everybody put cheese in quiche. Kudos to her if she left it out.

Two tips: always peel any variety of eggplant, no matter what the recipe says and sweat the eggplant on a cutting board (not colander) for a full :60 unless there's a compelling reason why you wouldn't. This will make otherwise dry and rubbery eggplant into what it should be: tender and sauce-absorbent.

as much as I love eggplant parmigiana or eggplant with Chinese dishes, it might be more ev+ if I just outsource eggplant courses to others because its not like baking bread or things that my family will enjoy. Im not a huge fanatic and can survive weeks (months) without it whereas I cant survive weeks without any of beef or chicken or carrots or avocado or other vegetables.

Let me clarify
Eggplant: sweat it for 60 minutes. Could do 45 minutes if you're pinched for time. Cutting boards won't produce a puddle and lead to more even results than sweating in a colander. A light layer of moisture will accumulate on top of the eggplant slices, and you absorb it with a towel or paper towel. The eggplant should feel dry before cooking.

Mala noodles dressed up with sauted onion and crimini mushrooms, lao gan ma chili crisps, and green onion. Would recommend.
They were too tasty and I forgot to take a picture of the prepped noodles, so this will have to do.

Spousal birthday supper at Flour+Water, sf
slivered asparagus with white bean pure, pistachios, cured egg yolk
margarita pizza
Mint & artichoke pasta with walnut sauce
Cheese pasta with balsamic vinegar
chocolate budino (pudding) with side of espresso cream
olive oil cake with strawberry sorbet
bonus scoop of basil sorbet (really good)
amazing food as standard for f+w.
Costco? I have a box and don’t use the sauce package. Too much sodium :-)
so just the noodles, cooked with other things.

Yes, found at Costco a while ago and misplaced for a few months. Could probably make a lower salt version of the sauce with Sichuan peppercorns and chili oil. Noodles are pretty tasty either way, had a good chew for dried noodles.

Forgot to mention about the cheese , as assumed always cheese but did not know what she used . Did not want to embarrass this young couple further - already queried about bacon !
She actually added 3 cheeses - Gouda , mozzarella & red cheddar . Cannot tell from photo that it is 3 cheeses though you can sort of see that it is somewhat cheesy .

I have no plan whatsoever for dinner. There is nothing thawed, nothing ready to cook and no leftovers. We should arrive home at around cocktail hour so it’s possible it will be whatever nibbly things I find in the fridge and pantry. Tortilla chips and salsa, pita chips and hummus, sliced apple and orange, pretzels, unless I stop at the grocery store.
