Hey Guys

Well it's Monday morning and I have been fighting with my internet!! However seems that nothing is wrong with it, guess it's me and this age thing!

The weekend was good, and I saw quite a good movie at Nouveau called Chloe with Liam Neeson who I rate as fairly sexy, and Julianna Moore I have always loved as an actress, quite an erotic movie, more a chick flick then for the guys!

We then ventured to Kalk Bay yesterday and had breakfast at the Olympic Cafe, they have an unbelievable following, their bakery must be one of the best in town, but the appearance and cleanliness leaves much to be desired, and when I am served my meal on a chipped plate, it freaks me out! However we had a delicious breakfast, but on venturing to the loo's I was fairly put off by what I saw, and wondered if the Health Department was to make an inspection, how long it would be before they were closed then down to clean up the joint?? Awh maybe we will try somewhere else next time!

AUBERGINE PARMIGIANA:

2 Large Aubergines, thinly sliced lengthways
2 TBSP Olive oil
3 fat garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 x 200 ml cartons fresh napoletana sauce (or your own homemade one)
4 roast red peppers roughly chopped
20 gr roughly chopped basil
150gr Taleggio or Fontina cheese, coarsely grated
50 gr Parmesan coarsely grated
salt and ground black pepper
ciabatta to serve

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 200*D (180*C) and preheat the grill to high. Put the aubergines on an oiled baked sheet, brush with olive oil, scatter over the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 5-6 minutes until golden.

Spread a little Neapoletana sauce over the base of an oiled ovenproof dish, then cover with a layer of aubergine and peppers, packing the layers together as tightly as you can. Sprinkle a little basil and some cheese over the top, repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of cheese. Season with pepper. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve hot with ciabatta and a green salad.

Enjoy
