Garden Art



This is for Marlene (my sister)who wants to see pictures of some art I've made for the garden.
A bicycle trellis and a fountain, the front of which is a mosaic of glass shards and pottery.
Also, for Marlene, brother Dave and all you other eggplant lovers I am submitting a fantastic recipe.
Eggplant Pancakes
1 large egg beaten
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 lb Japanese eggplant (Japanese ONLY!)
2 scallions, white part only, sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Pierce the eggplant with a knife and roast under the broiler on both sides. The skin will buckle when ready. Remove eggplant and place it in a paper sack to steam.
When cool remove skin and seeds. Chop the eggplant flesh and add it to all the other ingredients mixing until well blended. On a hot skillet, sprayed with a little cooking oil, drop batter in silver dollar sized mounds. Cover the pan to create an oven so that the interior of the pancakes will cook through. The pancakes should be brown on both sides.
Serve with salt & pepper and more sour cream. Yummy!
