Continuing on our adventure in eating fewer carbs...not because we're feeling particularly health-driven, but because I'm running out of white rice.
Waldorf salad. I realized I had half a head of butter lettuce left from Friday as well as some really delicious apples and a few stalks of celery, so I diced everything and tossed in a handful of raisins and walnuts with a little mayonnaise. It's not much, but it's colorful.
We seared up the last $2 lamb steak, and I tried a Chow tip for egg plants. I sliced a small eggplant into pieces a quarter inch thick, dipped the slices in a beaten egg, and coated in pecorino cheese and pepper. Then I put a few slices on a hot waffle iron brushed with olive oil, and cooked them until brown and crispy. I thought they were kind of a nice carb replacement, but J is still anti-eggplant. Oh well, can't win them all.

I may be wrong about this, but I bet if J had eggplants from a home garden he'd like them. In my experience, there is just a flavor that is absent even in farmers' market varieties that you get with the homegrown ones.
Like I said, though, I could be wrong. I don't like raw garden tomatoes any better than storebought ones.
