When I don't have fresh tomatoes I use canned plum tomatoes. Nothing pre made in a jar!<BR/><BR/>Eggplant rollatini does taste a little like eggplant parmigiana but the ricotta adds a slightly different flavor to it, and I think it's easier to make. <BR/><BR/>It's a fabulous vegetarian dish!<BR/><BR/>I use "Miracle Grow" potting soil in my containers -- fresh soil every year -- and I do have to say that containers need watering every day if it doesn't rain, but it's worth the effort to have fresh tomatoes!<BR/><BR/>Jillian -- thanks! I'll coming over to look! :-)<BR/><BR/>Dana -- the shamrock china is either Belleek or Royal Tara --both made in Ireland.<BR/> <BR/><BR/>Oh -- and sorry I ahd to put the "word verification" back!

Loved your collection of little china pieces--the ones with the shamrocks caught my eye. My husband's grandparents on his mom's side were Kiely's--very Irish. I have a little piece of the shamrock china you have--it came from his parents house. It was glued back together and I don't know the history on it (who it belonged to)--sure wish I did.

I can see lots of tomato sauce being made from your bumper tomato crop, and I see lots of watering again there! I love to bake, but too have to make restrictions due to my ever expanding double waistline!

I never heard the tip about weighting the cut up eggplant down draining away the bitter juices. That is a great tip. <BR/><BR/>The pictures of your pot-grown tomatoes are inspiring me to give that a try next year. I have plenty of dirt...clay soil with tons of rocks, so hard I can't even dig in it usually. My best and only flower bed is one ex husband made with dirt we bought. <BR/><BR/>Check my blog later.
