Certain foods can bring back powerful memories. I picked up some eggplant at the farmers market, and since I had peppers, onions and olive oil at home, I decided to make eggplant rumanish (Rumanian eggplant), a staple of my childhood

Really touching - glad you have such a clear memory of your mother to recall.

(BTW, after I mentioned my father doing "Romania, Romania" with his friends as a party turn, someone sent me link to a recording by its originator, Aaron Lebedeff)
