I didn't say it's likely but constitutionally, that's not a problem at all.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 03:24 (eleven years ago) link
Afaik, there's nothing that says a PM or premier needs to be a sitting member. (Just double-checked with a constitution nerd.)
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 03:28 (eleven years ago) link
Seriously, in general, I wish people were more open to the possibilities offered within parliamentarianism. It's so unimaginative that the sitting leader of the party with a plurality of seats always becomes PM/premier and I think it actually undermines parliamentary democracy a little.

You may as well toss that Solanaceae in the rubbish bin. It would do as well there as anywhere. In fact I am suspicious of the entire Nightshade family, including the Tobbaco plant and Tomato as well. Only the potato has my permission to love itself.

i do like the small japanese eggplants tho
I like eggplant but it has to be cooked correctly, which isn't as intuitive as it should be, so maybe I hate eggplant.

eggplant is def a harsh mistress

when not done well its gross, but it can be so sublime
i went to the fall apple-themed menu at cabane à sucre au pied de cochon last week and one of the dishes was this aubergine pancake... impossible to describe but fuckin cuhrazypants
WHat of the seeds, the seeds? are they not an offense to the mouth?

ha ha. are you sitting at your keyboard running knives over unwanted aubergines getting mad about subpar vegetables? no i mean i'm aware they exist, but like i have never texturally tasted them or felt them interfere with the eating of an aubergine. they just seem fine.

i just think you need to grill one of these guys, throw it in a sandwich or eat it on toast with mustard, let the good times roll

I bought some of those marinated, grilled eggplant slices you can get at any deli (in this case La Maison des Pâtes Fraîches). I made a basic tomato sauce then threw the eggplant slices in the food processor. Dumped them into the sauce. It was the richest, tastiest pasta sauce I've made in a long time.
I've been trying to replicate this at home by roasting eggplants in the oven. I can't seem to do it. I can't seem to do much of anything with eggplant at the moment.

if you have a grill, you can grill them until they totally collapse (err on the side of overcooking), then let them cool a bit, peel them and get rid of the juice that leaks out, then chop em up like crazy or blend them, add lemon juice salt pepper tahini, and you got yourself a baba ghanouj.

I guess we should make a newthread "HELLISH EGGPLANTS COME ALIVE"
― Sweet Yin Yang ☯ (Latham Green), Thursday, 6 September 2012 13:29 (eleven years ago) link
you know just to justify derailing the mtl thread into aubergine territory, i cooked w/a few of the little (japanese? i think they're canadian but i think i've heard the lil baby aubergines called japanese before (maybe itt)) aubs yesterday, grilling them, & they were kind of a little bitter. just putting it out there that, factoring in regional supply variety, ymmv.
would def grill instead of roast, if i were you, fields of salmon; roasted aubergines are amazing to make into sauces but more as a weird smulchy disappearing ingredient than as a solid eggplant component. i slice; salt; sweat for awhile; brush w/olive oil & some spices (smoked paprika/sumac/i haven't found smoked paprika in montreal yet/what is up w that); & then grill for ten minutes, turn over & grill for ten more. getting tahini involved sounds like a real good idea too.
