Hi guys, lots of activities going on right now. So much to see, so little time. So far I got some lovely friends that voted for me. And I voted for them of course. They so deserve it. Not only because they are my friends but because I truly think they are awesome. Today I woke up with a dreadful mood, (hormones perhaps). But as the day progressed I couldn’t keep the bad mood because my Twitter bird was singing and lovely words were thrown my way. So I had no other option but to be happy and grateful. Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate the love. About these eggplants, I found them yesterday at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market and I couldn’t resist them, c’mon? How could I? They look stunning. That market always surprises me with some different veggies. And guess what? I’m always thinking of the different possibilities of some bumping (by chance of course) into…who knows? Maybe one day Brad Pitt will decide to go there and buy some fresh veggies and fruits for his lovelies. That would be awesome, right? I don’t know if I would keep my cool. I would probably throw myself to his feet and scream BRAD I LOVE YOUR WORK (sweet Face). On a second thought he better never set foot there. I want to be able to keep my dignity. LOL

I love this recipe… looks so gorgeous:) dont you just love thai chilies?
I absolutely love that first photo with the coconut in the background. The Thai eggplant are so pretty too. You have a talent for making the food look beautiful before AND after it is cooked. Wonderful dish. I may try it and substitute the Japanese eggplant from our garden.
oh these are so cute, I have not run across these here, but if I ever do I would love to make this.. super yumm…oh I love brad’s (work) too ..lol

I think I could handle Brad Pitt but if it’s someone else…… forget it 😛 I’d rather keep my dignity too LOL
I love your Thai Eggplant curry and the rice is cooked to perfection! Your photos have a very serene quality about them – looking at them makes me feel so relaxed……..
Hmm, the sauteed thai eggplants look delicious. I think they are much nice than standard round or japanese (purple) eggplants in terms of taste, but I’ve only used them in thai green curry…never sauted. and the photos are gorgeous!
p.s. I didnt see a contact button for you, but I was wondering if I could add your site to my blogroll?
WOW- those eggplants look awesome! Sometimes you have to buy cute food! I have some baby purple ones in my fridge right now that I think are going to have to get the same treatment! Yummmmmmm!!! Thanks for a great post!
Fantastic blog & yummy dish!!
Gorgeous, I love the photos and don’t worry I would do the same thing if I saw brad Pitt, and then I would cry later about how embarrassing it was. Best to steer clear of those situations you can’t emotionally control, right?
I LOVE Thai eggplants, alas they are never in stock anywhere where I live. I used to use them all the time when I worked in Thai restaurants, so I do love their flavour. If I ever run across any, I’ll know where to turn for a lovely, simple recipe!
I love thai eggplant but other than putting them in coconut curry I had no idea what else to do with them, thanks so much!
I am the greatest eggplant hater. But looking at your pictures looks like it might change. Beautiful and yummy
interesting !! I never knew there’s this kind of eggplants from thai. Never did I tried it. I only tried the regular purple eggplants. 🙂 Your pictures look lovely love. Love the thai scalpture thingy. However u call it 🙂
have a lovely tuesday love.
