Eggplant two ways, scoby jerky, and fall gardens

Fried two ways ( oven baked and wok fried).  Stir fry with onions, bell pepper, cashews, and a homemade sauce.  



Oven baked was tossed with cilantro, tomatoes, mayo, and Greek yogurt and dill.   Otherwise known as Mother-in-law's Tongue. ( in a deconstructed kind of way).  



Stir fry eggplant is similar to tofu,  which I always fail at making.  The MiL's Tongue tastes like a potato salad. 

In the garden news,   I got a few sweet peppers and some kale from the two keyhole front yard gardens.  No extra water, just compost added every other week.  It helped that we had lots of rain from the hurricanes in the gulf.   

Fall garden seeds planted about two weeks ago.  Three different squashes, Brussels sprouts, lettuce varieties, radishes, and some broccoli.  Squash seedlings have already appeared and a few other seedlings from the rest of the 
plant seeds I through out in the dirt.  

I also tried my hand at some kombucha scoby jerky.....  It's tough, but doesn't really break down.  I think I dehydrated it to high and to long.  Oh well, you got to fail a few times to learn something new.
