Eggplant dip

Here's the first thing I've actually cooked in quite a while.  There's a supermarket chain called S-mart, which has pretty lousy prices and there isn't a great deli, bakery, meat department, or anything inside so I don't go there too often.  Sometimes I go in if I don't feel like battling the crowds at WinCo for one item or to use the BofA atm inside.  The one great thing about S-mart though is that they have a little cart full of discounted veggies and fruits that are somewhat beyond ripe.  I bought 4 avocados once for 69 cents, it was the greatest thing ever.  Yeah they were a little brown on the inside but it was still tasty.
Anyway, I saw some eggplant going for sale, but I don't cook with it very often and don't run across it at restaurants too often.  The only idea that I could think of was making baba ganoush, so I grabbed one, roasted it with some garlic and blended with some tahini I bought a few days later (8 bucks a bottle!), lemon, and parsley.  Toasted up some whole wheat pita chips and everything good to go.

Prosciutto and butter sandwich

Here's another sandwich that I first had at 'Wichcraft in Vegas. I mostly got it because it was the cheapest one there. Every sandwich was like more that 7 bucks and this thing was maybe 4 or 5. The combination is good, can't complain about prosciutto and bread and butter are one of my most favorite things in the world. I think supposedly it's sort of a play on the classic ham and cheese sandwich. Whatever I guess. I found a recipe and the people at La Brea bakery also have a sandwich like this. They had an optional scallion and parsley oil to drizzle on top which I made for fun.
