Playing around

with hourglass blocks.  These little guys measure 3.5", and will finish at 3".  I figure I'll need about 400 of them! 

This is not a real layout, just me playing around with them.

Yesterday's eggplant dish proved to be adorable, but not very tasty.  Both the Hubz and I found the eggplant very bitter.  I love the idea of the little eggplants, but not the taste.  I did find another recipe that I might try.  The other possibility is to use Japanese eggplants, which don't taste bitter to me.  We shall see.
