Trader Joe's had some beautiful eggplant yesterday and so the plan was to make moussaka for dinner tonight. Rather than slice it by hand, I thought I'd use a mandolin that I purchased years ago but never used. So, instead of slicing BY hand, I sliced MY hand - took the tip right off my right thumb. For me, this meant a lot of blood, pain and discomfort and a potentially deformed thumb for the rest of my life. For my husband, it meant that he needed to finish making dinner (after attending to my wound like a pro).
He did a marvelous job. The dish was delicious, despite the disaster beforehand. The recipe we used was from page 514 of the amazing Gourmet cookbook. I'd love to provide the recipe for you, but typing is a challenge right now. Buy the book. You'll love it.
