Made another batch of babaghanouj with homegrown eggplant and garlic. The environmental footprint is about 25 feet across the driveway to the side door of the house. I can use a very small portion and a half of a pita bread for part of lunch on my "fasting" days (during an alternate day fasting diet that has so far dropped 30 pounds). The combination of eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and the bread is satisfying in line with complex carbohydrates (the sesame tahini being similar to peanut butter when smeared on bread). Just a guess. Anyway, that and a hard boiled egg on the side and an apple is a nice lunch for a motivated dieter. (I'm about 10 pounds from my goal.)
