Own grown Asian eggplants picked this morning for the pasta sauce with artichokes and crimini mushrooms ( which grow up to be Portobelo's)

This menu is not your typical Vegetarian menu as I have incorporated a sort of sauteed vegetable sandwich which will be topped with shaved Parmesan.
Sort of a Vegetable Sloppy Joe.
Also both entrees are made in a large deep skillet (actually a wok), and then the pasta is baked at clients home and the vegetables for the rolls are heated in a skillet again at client's home and goes with the toasted artisan bread rolls.I love these warm vegetable sandwiches and they are much fresher flavored than a panini.

You made add salad greens but really why bother?

The fruit crumble is a whole wheat version of a popular English dessert, crumbled shortbread over poached fruit in a thickened fresh fruit sauce and is fabulous with cream, custard or ice cream.

In Los Angeles today we are still coping with very high humidity and temps in the high 80f's so  not many people are sleeping as much as they should as most places on the west side don't have air conditioning as they rely on the ocean breezes, so a lot of drivers are bad tempered, better to eat healthier especially now.

Have a great weekend!
