We've all heard about the demise of the newspaper, what with the internet and Kindle edging out good, old-fashioned newsprint. Still, there's nothing like hearing that thud of the paper hitting the pavement, going outside to retrieve it and bringing it inside to unfurl and read with a nice, hot steaming cup of java. Lucy and Ricky did it, Ozzie and Harriet did it and, I am convinced we will continue to do it for generations to come. For 50 cents a pop (or a buck for the Sunday edition) it continues to be a great bargain! In a recent edition of my local paper (The Miami Herald) I found an article about new sports bras (I still need one), an article I want to use as a blueprint for a future article, an article to blog about (vacations are good for you) and a recipe for eggplant pizza. And that was all in one section! There are often coupons for department stores, craft stores, or sports stores that can save you a bundle, not to mention the Sunday circulars with their plethora of clip crazy coupouns. Your newspaper can actually save you money in the long run. And just like Netflix, it's delivered right to your doorstep. What could be better? The recipe for eggplant pizza, of course. (Disclaimer- I haven't tried it yet.)
Eggplant Pizza
1 Eggplant
8 oz jar marinara sauce
8 oz shredded 2 % mozzarella
8 oz turkey pepperoni
Peel the eggplant. Cut it into 1/4 inch slices. Cover each slice with marinara sauce. Top with three or four slices of pepperoni and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Apply Pam to a metal baking sheet and place eggplant slices on it. Bake 10 minutes in a 300 degree oven. Makes about 5 slices of "pizza".
