palm realty wine food series: Eggplant and Tomato Gratin - 01/28/16 10:17 AM

 
I absolutely love eggplant. I pretty much love it any way that I can get it. I love the texture of the soft delicate flesh and the flavor of the eggplant itself, so I really don't care for a lot of different spices or herbs to mask the flavor I love so much. So, I have come up with my own version below. I hope you like it!

palm realty wine food series: Happy Healthy Human to Re-Open Mid December - 11/29/15 05:31 AM
Happy Healthy Human, an organic market and cafe, closed down in September much to the consternation of those of us that loved this little whole in the wall place.
Happy Healthy Human was the local place that I could go to and find oddball things like organic Kale, seed crackers or healthy, tasty, ready to eat organic salads.
Unfortunately, the front staff at Happy Healthy Human  were often slow, poorly trained and had very little personality  if any. The POS system was confusing and slow for the staff. Because of this, stopping in for anything  was rarely a quick in and … (2 comments)

palm realty wine food series: Skipjack Tuna is now available at Costco! - 11/16/15 04:10 AM
If you like tuna fish as I do, knowing what type of tuna to eat may be more important than you think.
When you buy canned tuna in the store, there are several varieties of tuna that can and are used in canned tuna fish. Smaller species of tuna fish are healthier for human consumption. This is because the larger species of fish eat the smaller fish and thus have higher mercury contamination levels in their bodies.
Skipjack tuna is the smallest of the tuna species, and therefore they generally have the lowest mercury levels. So, eating Skipjack tuna is generally thought to be … (5 comments)

palm realty wine food series: Brano's Italian Grill in Cocoa Beach, FL - 01/22/15 06:42 AM
I had lunch recently at Brano’s Italian Grill in Cocoa Beach.  Located at 3680 N. Atlantic Ave, Brano’s Italian Grill is centrally located in Cocoa Beach just south of the 520 Causeway which is also just south of the famous Ron Jon’s Surf Shop.  There are a lot of Italian restaurants on the Space Coast, and I do think that  Brano’s Italian Grill is one of the better ones!  When we sat down we were served hot buttery rolls that were perfect with a little grated Parmesan cheese on the side. I had the Eggplant Parmigiana and I was impressed!  I was … (5 comments)
