About a month ago Michael saw an episode of Food Wars on Travel Channel that featured the Juicy Lucy/Jucy Lucy burger, a Minneapolis creation with a devout following, and he knew instantly that he had to make it.

We planted three eggplants in May, but sadly they were overtaken by flea beetles, a really nasty little pest that devoured the plants.
