toe MAY toe, toe MAH toe

Some of the people I work with are very patient and sweet to listen to me gush about different meals I make. They usually lead to good, quick conversations that I really appreciate and help me to think further into the choices I’ve made.
Co-worker: It must be really hard to grocery shop and find the sort of foods you need to eat. Where do you shop?
Me: I just shop at the normal grocery store. I go to the health food store to get a lot of things in bulk just because it’s cheaper.
Co-worker: So, you said last night you made a version of Eggplant Parmesan…I guess it’s just about making the type of meals you normally would eat and just learning to substitute out certain ingredients?
Me: (thrilled) EXACTLY!!!
It's the little things, isn't it?
Dried Tomato Skins

Tomatoes are a precious food to me, so when I get the opportunity to use fresh tomatoes to make my marinara, I hate throwing out the skins. Instead, I lay them out, dry them in the oven and grind them up to use later as a garnish or mix with olive oil to create a tomato paste.
