Gracious and
merciful
Garlic, supreme and only One:
please listen to my story and let your indulgence cover the
faults of this world of sinners. |

I was home after 10 hours hard work in the coal
mine - a hundred feets unterground - only wanting to
cook a good italian dinner for my friends.
I wore my tipical italian cooking dress... the complete parmigiana
recipe was in my head from the beginning to the end.... |
|
|
 |
|
| ...but surprise!
Unequivocal signs of autonomy in my kitchen! - some fried eggplants
laying in the pot. ..and many already in rounds, but too
thick! |
|
|
 |
|
Ok ok, no panic. I can imagine that the
man with the strange haircut had no bad intentions. He just
wanted to be lovely and help me.
That's why he has already washed, dryed, cutted and fried the eggplants. |
|
 |
|
Remember! The next time,
pare and slice the eggplants into 1/4-inch rounds.
Fry in really hot extravergine olive oil
on both sides until golden brown.
Then drain on absorbent paper towels. |
|
 |
|
Ingredients: tomatos for
the sauce, a lot of eggplants (2 pro person) garlic and onions for
the tomato sauce, olive oil extravergine, feta-like cheese and olives
to entertain your guests and keep them
alive during the long time cooking - and many many parmigiano cheese..
In some wild, uncultivated countrys,
you can find the parmigiano cheese ready to use in little plastic
bags. It's ok. |

"In my studies of astronomy and philosophy
I hold this opinion about the universe, that the Sun remains fixed
in the centre of the circle of heavenly bodies, without changing
its place; and the Earth, turning upon itself, moves round the Sun."
Galileo Galilei
if you think you create a new universe every
time you are cooking - then your Ego may have some problems... |

|
When the little fried egg-planets are brown,
remove them from the oil and they are ready for the stovesitter: |

Parmiggiana is a ciclic hierarchical
concept: from the bottom to the top oil tomato sauce eggplants
parmigiano tomato sauce eggplants parmigiano tomato sauce eggplants
parmigiano. |

"Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a
prime mover, put in motion by no other;
and this everyone understands to be God." - Thomas Aquinas.
Well a little bit of faith it's not bad, but you are supposed to
check that God does not burn your parmigiana!
Also i would say have Faith for 20 minutes and then open your eyes
and check it up.
|
|
 |
|
Well done! This is a good exemple of parmiggiana,
now you must wait 10 minuts and eat it. |
|
 |
|
Very soon you will discover that your beautiful parmigiana
will be enough for two or three persons.
So don't relax too long and go on cooking for the other guests...

"The second half of a man's life is
made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first
half" - Fyodor Dostoevsky.
In the second half of the evening your
guests are able
to do a good job independently from your conduction.

After 2 hours on frying I can sit down, drink wine
and look at the guests at work.
A persistent smell of fried eggplants will follow me for one
week.
The people down in the coalmine will find it not so fine. |
|
 |
|
If it's really late and the guests absolutly want
to eat before the sunrise, then it's possible
to use directly the tomatoes from the box, without preventive cooking.
It's more decadent, but it's ok, after
hours of work, fried oil in the air and wine, nobody will note this
little escamotage. |
|
 |
|
After 3 hours frying eggplants, every single cell
of your body will supplicate to have a
stop.
This means it's time to eat. |
|

Time to eat....

"Men first feel necessity, then look for utility,
next attend to comfort, still later amuse themselves with pleasure,
thence grow dissolute in luxury, and finally go mad and waste their
substance" - Giambattista Vico
Be luxurious and enjoy the substance
