Thursday 22 March - Back After a Long Break

Had rather a long break, Bob being away with work means that meals consist mainly of soup and bread, and then a birthday for George, who reached 13 meant several meals including chips that couldn't possibly be blogged about! Plus, we also had the loss of our cat Derek, who had to be put to sleep earlier this week, RIP our lovely Derek

Back to trying to be interested in food, after a long drive I returned from work to attempt a Parmigiana. Instead of frying the aubergines, they were brushed quickly with a bit of olive oil and quickly put in a hot cast iron pan.

Then we made a thick tomato, garlic and onion sauce  - cooked down for about 40 mins. This was layered with the aubergine slices and some low fat mozarella and grated parmesan

This was baked for half an hour, and served up with a green salad, and some bread that we had made last week and frozen - warning, let it cool a bit before digging in!!
