JIA-CHI

Spent the day figuring out how Marcel the Shell would be built.  For dinner, walked over to Kevin’s for dinner.  After joining the CSA for the sole prospect of getting eggplants, Kevin was disappointed after 10 weeks of no eggplant.  Finally, on the 12th week, Kevin got 2 eggplants.  He had us over for dinner to showcase his mom’s recipe for her eggplant parmesan, noted as kevin’s favorite dish EVER.  I prepared pasta, rachel made bok choy, gen made garlic bread, and victo made fried rice.
