November 1st, All Saints, Rolled Eggplant

Rolled, stuffed grilled eggplant

Mix together ricotta, chopped mozzarella and grated parmigiano--don't ask me how much--do it by eye for 12 large pieces of grilled eggplant. Stuff and roll. Place in an oven-proof Pyrex dish. Cover with tomato sauce and basil, and some more mozzarella and parmigiano. Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes. YUM!

After I prepared this I read this quote by Eugene O'Neill. "Keep on writing, no matter what! That's the most important thing. As long as you have a job on hand that absorbs all your mental energy, you haven't much worry to spare over other things. It serves as a suit of armor."

O'Neill wrote 50 plays, including The Hairy Ape (1921), Desire Under the Elms (1924), The Iceman Cometh (1939), and Long Day's Journey Into Night (1941).

Today is the 1st of November--the feast day of All Saints, and the beginning of NANOWRIMO--so start writing your novel and keep at it for a month. I'm adding to the one I wrote a few years ago in the shortest month...February. The important thing is to write something on it every day.
Good luck to all of you who try it.
