Eggplant Caviar

So we had a great time on the cruise.  The only thing I was disappointed about was the amount of time we actually had to spend on the boat.  I would have liked to spend more time in our ports, especially Key West.  Theres a great place I have heard about from friends that we went to check out called Pearls Rainbow.  Its a lesbian resort that we will definitely be staying at next time we visit Key West.  The pictures on the website really dont do it justice, its a beautiful place.  But it was nice and relaxing to be on the boat at first and not have to think about work or anything.  And let me tell you, you dont have to think about anything.  They clean your room, cook your meals & wait on you hand & foot.  So for someone used to being so busy, it was wonderful in the begining.  But then after a while theres not much to do on the boat except eat, drink & gamble.  Not that I dont enjoy those things, but I did not want to drink much because I wanted to enjoy my vacation, not spend it hung over.  So we spent a lot of time feeding ourselves & the slot machines.  It was still great.  And the food was really good for the most part.  They serve 10,000 meals a day on that ship.  So for having to put out that many meals, they did allright.  We got up early every morning to watch the sunrise & they were the most beautiful I have ever seen.  By the time I got home I was desperate to cook something.  My brother had been bugging me to make some tuna for a while, so theres a picture of that dish here.  I also added some pictures of the food from the boat.  The midnight buffet was really cool.  There were a lot of classic French preparations like terrines & galantines, elaborate pastries and things we made in school but hardly see anymore.  So it was exciting for me, though Im not sure a lot of the people recognized the significance of it.
