Name: Eggplant Salad
Ingredients: 3 md Eggplants -; (abt 1 lb ea); 5 Garlic cloves; crushed; 1/2 md Onion; chopped fine; 1/3 c Fresh parsley; 2 md Tomatoes; chopped; 1 ts Marjoram; 1 ts Oregano; 1/4 c Olive oil; Juice of 1 lemon; Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste; Salt; to taste

So when we call pain a problem, we claim we do not deserve it. We are even prepared to scuttle God to maintain our own innocence. We will say that God is not able to do what He would like, or He would never permit persons such as ourselves to suffer. That puffs up our egos and soothes our griefs at the same time. “How could God do this to me?” is at once an admission of pain and a soporific for it. It reduces our personal grief by eradicating the deity. Drastic medicine, indeed, that only a human ego, run wild, could possibly imagine.

INSTRUCTIONS

Grill the eggplants over an open gas flame or under the broiler until the
skin is a bit black and charred, place them on a baking sheet and bake at
350 degrees for 45 minutes. Allow to cool, then peel, discarding the peel,
and chop the eggplant. Place in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and
toss. Chill before serving.
Comments: This is a relish/salad/sauce-type thing ... and I cannot do
better at describing it than that. It has a smoky flavor because the
eggplant is charred over a burner.
