Ada and the girls spent another day preserving food for the winter in the courtyard of our house. Here Sharon is learning to prepare salata-de-vinete. (salad of eggplant) If anyone is intrested she will share the recipe! The eggplants are smoked on the grill, peeled and allowed to drain. Then chopped to a pulp, packed in jars and processed. When you are hungry in the winter, you open a jar, MAKE mayonnaise and mix it with the eggplant along with salt and onion. Spread on a piece of good Romanian bread and you have a meal!
