Yep, look at that strained manic look on his face. That's simple enjoyment if ever I saw it. This is the night I made him ditch his chicken pasta to savour this little eggplant dish...

He was pleasantly surprised (again) at the awesome flavours of this meal (two for Jess, nil for S). This dish was just brown rice with Tomato-Chickpea Curry in Eggplant Shells (The New Vegan Cookbook, Lorna Sass).

So now it's on. The challenge. Thanks to these two dinners he has succumbed and willingly agreed...bye bye meat and dairy!
