Getting TOPYcal


Fix my shoes... and my life.

Oh hi, my Gorman clogs need a new sole. I'm also have doubts about my career choice. Is this really what I want to do with my life?

On closer inspection, these are loafers.



A few weeks ago, the frantic search for brown loafers began.
Somehow, the need had subliminally been planted into my head.
Alike most situations of footwear desperation, one can never find exactly what they want at the given time. Too small, wrong colour, too much akin to a boat shoe, too expensive.
But I think I have finally uncovered the (reasonably priced) treasure. Said treasure is to be delivered to me via air mail in around 2 weeks.

This song really struck a chord with me. Maybe 'cause it's Aussie, folky, psychy, proggy and all that junk that equates to a seriously good jam. Maybe the soulful vocals, strings, light & shade.
Anyway, is good!

I want a boy to dress in Dad Style. Stylish, yet comfortable. Smart, yet practical.

Eggplant.

I can't eat enough eggplant. Gotta have it day and night. Lucky it's such a versatile vegetable. I precook my eggplant in the sandwich press. Is there anything that appliance can't do?

Eggplant parmigiana

Ingredients (serves 8)

  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 4 small eggplant, thinly sliced, salted
  • 700g jar Italian tomato pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped
  • 140g parmesan cheese, grated
  • 180g cherry bocconcini cheese, torn in half
  • 1 cup fresh white breadcrumbs

METHOD


Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a 5.5cm-deep, 20cm x 28cm (base) baking dish. Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan over high heat.

Spray both sides of eggplant slices generously with oil. Grill eggplant, in batches, for 2 minutes each side or until charred and tender. Remove to a plate. Spray with oil.

Place one-third of the eggplant over base of dish. Top with one-third of the pasta sauce, basil, parmesan and bocconcini. Repeat layers twice with remaining eggplant, sauce, basil, parmesan and bocconcini. Top with breadcrumbs. Spray with oil. Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbling around the edges and golden. Stand for 10 minutes. Serve.

I think I might even get to see it when I go to Norway this September.
