freaks of the day
Pepper with a giant neck goiter, tomato with a freakishly pointy nose, siamese squash freaks....
Since i've been bringing all these freaks into my house to photograph them, i've actually been eating almost strictly freaks, cause they are lying around... hope this has no adverse effects on my unborn children.

It's Tomato Season!
Many thanks to Demeter, Greek Goddess of the Bountiful Harvest, that we have so far not suffered from the dreaded late blight that is decimating tomato crops ruthlessly throughout the Northeast. Indeed, the wet and relatively cool summer has not been entirely kind to our tomato crop and it looks like the yield this year will be significantly less than last years prolific bounty, but today I am canning my first batch of tomato sauce out of the leftover cherry tomatoes from Saturday's market. That is, the leftover cherries and the freaks no one would buy!

Eggplants can be real freaks
Sometimes eggplants like to grow noses, as this Japanese eggplant readily demonstrates...
Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables and one of the most versatile. Click here for nutrition information.
Baba Ganoush:
Roast eggplant (3 large will yield about 1 Quart) at 350. Chop off the green tip and STICK WITH FORK to puncture skin so they don't explode…. When cool, CHOP COARSELY and place in food PROCESSOR skin and all. Meanwhile, sautee one large onion in olive oil til transluscent, add a few large cloves of diced garlic and cook through. Combine eggplant flesh, garlic and onion, 7 – 10 sprigs of parsley, salt, pepper, 1/3 cup tahini, a liberal sprinkling of CUMIN, a dash of cayenne, Juice of one lemon. Blend til smooth.
Serve with toasted Pita...

TRUST YOUR NOSE, DOG
carrots love to be freaks
NICE LEGS! Work it ladies... the one on the right should probably hit the gym, although i can totally sympathize with having a long torso, its, like, impossible to find one piece bathing suits that fit.
