Portabella and Eggplant Gratin

According the the Blogger stats this is my 1000th post. 

I thought I had 3 more to go but we will go with their numbers. 

Fittingly tonight I made a dish that I had when we were recently on vacation. I made the Portabella and Eggplant Gratin that I had at the Four Seasons Resort. I loved this dish so much I emailed the hotel and asked for the recipe. And they sent it to me!
I followed it exactly and it was just as good as the first time I had it. Yes I fried the eggplant!

And tonight I ate at my Dad's house and he devoured his piece of the gratin. The aide who was with him said he had to save room today because I was bring him Eggplant Parmigiana. I can not wait to make this from my sister.

Short Ribs with Caramelized Onions

When we were at the Four Seasons we tried their Short Rib Fondue one night with some drinks. This is a photo of what we had. It was taste of heaven.

When we got home I wrote and asked for that recipe along with the Eggplant Parmesan recipe. They sent me both of them!

This was my version. I did not add the cheese but we did have it with toasted Italian bread. Not the same as theirs but pretty darn good!

With the upcoming storm I decided to use a small dish of Baked Macaroni from the freezer as a side dish. Really hoping we do not lose power!

Hope everyone is safe during Hurricane Sandy.
