Today I have been making eggplant pickles.

Before my husband died, I bought the appetizers at the markets and was happy with good cheeses, big olives and all sorts of nuts. After my husband died I did some math and decided to learn to make other appetizers that would mean less expense but would be as good. I learned to make pickles (as this one I just made), hummus, babaganouche, capapes, tiny sandwiches and guacamole. Today I used one eggplant I had to make eggplan pickle. Once my mom took me to a very elegant restaurant and they had this same thing with another name. I asked my mom to buy it so that I would learn something else. And discovered that the only difference from my pickles was the name (aubergnine caviar) and the price (only for the pockets of the very rich). I will have this on Sunday with crakers as part of the yummy things. Anita helped me a lot with the dicing of onions and eggplants. Do you make your own appetizers?
