Here they are again: little glass containers full of lunch. The sweet potatoes were purchased along with persimmons (!) from the same farmers who grow the baby eggplants (Thai eggplants) that look like mushrooms in the upper round bowl. Carrots and cabbage are from Wholefoods, due to lack of imagination.
Dressing on the mung bean and eggplant salad was better than the eggplants. Bummer. (They were bitter.) I’ll read something about those vegetables before I buy them again. And here’s the recipe for that dressing:
2 cloves garlic
3T balsamic
1T rice vinegar
2T toasted sesame oil
1T barley miso (I used brown rice miso)

I was just reading about this Brazilian eggplant called jilo. Apparently it can be quite bitter, so much so that 'jilo' is slang for 'really horrible'.
