Eggplant with crumbed beef, tomato and mint
It's been an interesting week here in Wellington, NZ. The week started off with me loosing my voice, figured it might be alright after a night of sleep, but that definitely did not bring it back. By Thursday, I was told I had laryngitis, and was suggested that I probably should not speak much ... I mean c'mon seriously ... with a 16.5 mos old, that is highly impossible ... Friday comes around, I decide to leave work two hours earlier just so I can 'rest' my voice without the kid or the husband around, and then a 6.2 earthquake strikes ... aye aye aye ... so I pretty much drove home, walked up the stairs to the bathroom, the earthquake strikes, I walk down the stairs and headed back to the city to pick up the husband and daughter, went grocery shopping and headed home. Talk about an exciting end to this week. Glad that all is well in our city and everything is well
I made this recipe over a week ago for a week night meal, it was easy and quick to make and above all it tasted great. This recipe inspiration comes from Gluten Free Goddess
