My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

I recently had a chance to see the amazing Samurai exhibit at the British Museum, which includes an overwhelming display of intricate armor.

Helmets sported dragon figurines and goblin motifs, with spiky scary emblems everywhere. But nestled near the back of one display, a more familiar shape caught my eye. Could it be? Yes, indeed! 

Behold the mighty aubergine! All quake before her mighty vegetable-ness!

Dear ones, in a world of copycat dragons,

let’s dare to be the eggplant. 

Original.

Nourishing.

Glorious.
