St John in Raleigh

Post by pipanale »

So, I'm ogling a dazzling display of eggplants this morning at the State Farmer's Market in Raleigh. We go just about every week all year round. Best place to get produce in the Triangle and you're supporting local farmers.

Anyhoo...the kid has on her Wayward Sailor shirt.

The guy selling the peppers that are making me swell with glee (not to mention a mountain of roma tomatoes that look to have been sent to Raleigh from God himself) says to us "I have a Wayward Sailor Shirt too".

Awesome.

Needless to say, we chatted for a while about St John and all its awesomeness. As we left, loaded with eggplants ($.99/lb for all varieties) and tomatoes ($1.25/lb) we told him he had sold us on coming to him for our produce needs.

Funny how a shirt can drum up business.

What do you make with all the eggplant? I love it, but can't get anyone else excited.

Nothing yet. They're in the fridge. I'll probably take the long Japanese eggplants and just grill them whole. We split them length-wise on the plate and drop on olive oil and salt.

The rest will be a creation of my making at some point this week or over the weekend.
