"I didn't even know I was hungry" (The Food Appreciation Thread)

I have eggplants from my supervisor's garden. I'd normally cook them with pork mince and chilli and miso paste and such, but that'll probably entail going and buying the condiments, and I forgot I'm now in a cash-based economy and my bank card doesn't arrive for another week or so. Short of it, self-imposed limited funds for two weeks or so.

There are quite a few ingredients left in the house, of the non/slow-perishable variety. I have noodles, rice, and nothing non-perishable except for the eggplants and a couple of green bell peppers (also a gift from my supervisor).

Alternative moral of this story, even if you don't have a recipe idea: When at a technical college with a strong agricultural section, tell your colleagues you love fresh food. They grow fresh food. They will give you fresh food.
