Then suddenly an idea came across my mind to cook it in this way….by steaming it. Yup, that’s right. Steaming it retains it’s original texture and color, and with a touch of homemade sauce, you’ll have a healthy veg dish to go along with rice. Can you see the nice original purple color of the eggplant? I just love it!</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/875143514http://twohungrydudes.com/post/875143514Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:13:22 -0400<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6ayflhdb81qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>365 Days of Food</p> <p>#209 Garlic Knots (by <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/twohungrydudes">TwoHungryDudes</a>)</p> <p>I tried my first garlic knot in NYC about 5 years ago.  Haven’t had much luck finding any in the Detroit area until tonight.  New York City Pizza (fitting name, no?) sells these little knots of deliciousness.</p> <p>Dripping with garlic, butter, and herbs and dusted with parmesan cheese, these are the perfect partner to slice of NY style pizza.</p> <p>From <a href="http://www.nycitypizzeria.com/">New York City Pizza</a> in Troy, MI.</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/873743890http://twohungrydudes.com/post/873743890Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:42:57 -0400food365newyorkcitypizza<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5t244R9CD1qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Braised Pork Belly In Soy Sauce.</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/871590424http://twohungrydudes.com/post/871590424Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:15:11 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l68uwgCYVY1qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>365 Days of Food</p> <p>#208 Classic Spaghetti  (by <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/montage_man">JoeFoodie</a>)</p> <p>A simple dish elevated by seasonal produce.  </p> <p>Organic whole wheat spaghetti, roma tomatoes from the garden, basil & oregano from the herb garden, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and fresh cracked pepper.  </p> <p>Cooked in a cast iron skillet and topped with freshly grated Romano cheese.  </p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/868483438http://twohungrydudes.com/post/868483438Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:31:27 -0400food365<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l665biSohU1qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Dark chocolate chunk paired with coconut gelato at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.iorioice.com/">Iorio Italian Ice</a> at the Lansing City Market.
