Blogs Of Note

Well... it's no more flying under the radar as Blogger has deemed Rubber Slippers in Italy worthy enough to out me in the spotlight [makes like a stupid deer caught in front of the high beams]. I'm blushing posies, and thanks to word from Kat of Our Adventures in Japan, I now feel obliged to show the world that I am not only about sicilian tree experiments.

Let's skip the generic stuff! My profile doesn't do justice on what Italy has become to me, or what the blog is all about, so please enjoy the following image-linked posts. Now I go to prepare the big meal for the inlaws....ciao a tutti!

Sicily rules - the eggplant tomato tree is born

Sicily is abuzzing. After reading an italian article on an eggplant tomato tree, the first delicious picture in my head was pasta alla norma and by now, the world famous caponata. Eggplant and tomato grafts were added to the rootstock of solanum torvum or Devil's Fig which makes this a completely non-GMO experiment. The speculation is that this could be a beginning to the solution to world hunger, but the mere idea of harvesting two for one has me thinking in terms of "space-saver" "watering efficiency" and all the caponata that my stomach desires. Isn't that wild? I just want to know where and when I'll be able to get my hands on one of these...
