Lunch

Preparing lunch for the family can be both fun and exhausting. Fun because you get to experiment on different kinds of dishes when you get bored with meals you are already used on preparing. Exhausting because when you don't know what to feed them it is tiring to think of meals that everyone would like.

Lunch today is that time. Fun and exhausting!

My helper left for the province for a few days. I am now in charge of the kitchen. I always welcome this but today I went blank on what food to prepare. I went to the ref to see if I can recycle some leftovers. None. Opened the vegetable section, viola! Eggplant! I checked the freezer next, fish. Hmmm. So, what can I do with fish and some eggplant within 45 minutes?

First, the eggplant. I laid the sliced eggplant in an oil-coated baking dish. Coated it with Italian sauce (I was planning to use tomato sauce but all I have is Italian sauce), minced bacon and mozzarella cheese. I was able to do 2 layers of these. I pre-heated the oven at 450 degrees, placed my eggplant dish and baked it for 20 minutes.

The fish? Good old fashioned fried dish. I seasoned it with salt and pepper and some garlic powder and fried it.

Lunch was ready in exactly 45 minutes! 

Oh, I just love it when a plan comes together! :)
