I make a good eggplant chutney - the eggplant from my garden. It's a mix of vegetables along with ginger, brown sugar, vinegar, cumin, etc. Can also go another way and use it for caponata or ratatouille.

I do not care for the sugar in chutney.

I am not a sweet guy LOL

You know? I bet it is delightful.

This week’s soup: yellow split pea soup with ham.

I should have soaked the peas first, but everything I read said there was no need. I started it on Sunday, and the peas are just now getting tender.

But, it sure is good.

Next time, I will soak the peas, then put them innthe blender tomake a paste. Biting down on a hard pea is like chomping on a popcorn old maid.
