Put the slices in a microwaveable Pyrex bowl, cover with Saran but leave a vent, and microwave the slices for 12 min. on high. Let the slices cool, then drain off the water. In a casserole dish carefully layer the pre-cooked eggplant slices with your sauce of choice and shredded Parmesan. Place a layer of the cheese on top. Bake the casserole at moderate heat, e.g., 325 until the cheese on top is crusty, say 30 minutes. Then enjoy the most tender eggplant dish ever.
STAY SAFE EVERYOONE!

Dr. Fauci is the only gov official telling anything near the truth about the Corona virus. This is big and we ought to be in full "pull out all the stops" mode as the World Health Organization official said the other day. Meanwhile we have the orange lying criminal sack of shit president lying to us on a daily basis and no one near him has the balls to say "no, that is not true." This could go down as one of the greatest US governmental scandals ever. Who knows how many will become infected and die because of criminal lying and obfuscation by trump and company?

However, as the campaign progressed and I found out more about what he actually advocates I was disheartened. In the face of obscene wealth inequality and people unable to afford basic healthcare, the Mayor's positions on social justice issues came up severely lacking. Perhaps he will grow and if he does he has a great future, I'm sure. But I'm not sorry to see him gone now. We need candidates willing to support real economic and social justice. Such a candidate we have in Senator Sanders. I'm proud to support him and I'm confident that he can and will beat the criminal president if the nomination is not stolen from him. At age 71, I've lived long enough to have put my body on the line as I did in the 80s and 90s AIDS crisis and in the battle for gay rights and before in the 60s and 70s for an end to war and for social and economic justice. I expect no less form the candidates who solicit my vote. Mayor Pete came up short this time but I have hopes for him in the future.

His key positions, Medicare For All, taxing the wealthy, and free education are exactly the prescriptions for a more just society that are needed in our country. Senator Warren has articulated progressive positions on many issues, but her campaign seems to lack the necessary popular support. Mayor Pete is a real disappointment to me. I had hoped that a fellow gay man would be more progressive, but his positions such as opposition to Medicare For All are terrible, and his red-baiting of Bernie Sanders is disgraceful. Joe Biden's time has come and gone. Bloomberg is simply trying to buy the nomination and the presidency, and there is no one else in the remaining field that has a realistic shot at winning the nomination on the first ballot at the convention with a plurality or majority of pledged delegates.
Bernie Sanders can be proud of a lifetime of working for social and economic justice. That he has no major accomplishment in the Senate says more about the politics of his fellow senators and the senate as an institution than it does about him. Super Tuesday may well point to the obvious conclusion, Bernie, in the race for the Democratic party nomination, but if Bernie wins a plurality of delegates by the time the convention is held and the party operatives anoint someone else at a brokered convention, this will split the party and we will indeed have four more years of the criminal trump presidency.

Those words are, "Time is a funny thing." Because it seems but a short time here on this beautiful island, yet a long time since seeing Philadelphia, our house and beloved pets. To begin our last full day on St. Barth we walked up the many steps to the 18th century ruins of Fort Carl, perched on top of a high hill overlooking Gustavia. There are many interesting plant specimens present and very spectacular views of the surrounding area. Later, Dan enjoyed shopping and Jim returned to Shell Beach for sunning and swimming. Lunch was at Zion in St. Jean; this used to be Andy's Hideaway, but the decor and menu have totally changed. For dinner we returned to a favorite, Le Repaire, which was also the first place we dined the day we arrived - so it seemed to complete a circle. - Dan <p>

On a shopping expedition Dan bought a pair of red shorts, as friends will know, he is a great fan of color. For dinner we went to a venue new for us, Baz (Le Bete A Zailes) which serves sushi and other Japanese specialties. - Dan <p>

After Jim went scuba diving in the morning, Barbara, Marylin and I walked to Carambole Bakery to buy some quiches and a Citron tart for lunch. Then I played a few pieces by Mendelssohn, Chopin and Brahams on the piano at the Anglican Church of St. Bartholomew's. After some shopping we headed back to the villa. Jim showed up well before noon, and everyone enjoyed a casual mid-day meal. In the afternoon Dan read a novel, Marylin and Barbara frolicked in the pool, and Jim went for another scuba dive. Our rental agency held a cocktail party for its clients at La Guerite, at 6:30, then a hired car took us all out to Bananiers in Columbier for a farewell dinner with our guests, since it was their last night here in St. Barth's. - Dan <p>

After a rainy morning Jim thought it would be OK to drive there, where we had a lunch reservation at Le Serano's restaurant, now called "Al Mare." A new chef recently took over, and both Italian and French dishes are offered. Marylin, Barbara and Dan all enjoyed either excellent Caesar or Nicoise salads, full of fresh ingredients. Before Jim's salad he had an exceptional starter, the piquant eggplant parmigiana, in a savory tomato sauce. Dan's dessert was a tiramisu. On the way back to the villa in Gustavia Jim took the mountain roads past Grand Fond Beach, Toiny, and the "Maison Nouriev," the former villa of the great ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev, one of the most charismatic performers in any field. It was my luck and privilege to have seen him dance a few times at the height of his career, and the villa is a poignant reminder of those nights. - Dan <p>

For lunch we drove the rental car to Flammands, where the largest beach on the island is, as well as one of our favorite restaurants, La Langouste. The restaurant has a marvelous view of the beach and Atlantic Ocean with its aquamarine-colored waters. I enjoyed my salad of grapefruit, avocado and lobster medallions, followed by a chocolate molleaux with pistachio ice cream. Jim was the only one to brave the waves after lunch, and said they were inviting. Our guests Marylin and Barbara enjoyed an afternoon dip in the pool at the villa. A taxi took us all to Corossol, to eat at the typical Creole-French restaurant Au Regal. Everyone had fun and we were even able to see sunset on the beach at Corossol. - Dan <p>

Despite various, short rain showers in the morning, the four of us, Barbara, Marylin, Jim and Dan took walks around Gustavia, stopping for breakfast at La Gloriette. That small Cafe is run by the same people who also make the delicious vanilla fun liquor. For lunch we drove to Lurin, to enjoy the beautiful view from Santa Fe, a French eatery in spite of its name. Then we drove to Gouverneur Beach nearby, where Jim enjoyed a swim in the ocean. For dinner we were in Saline, at L'Espirit, a restaurant famed not only for its food but also the outdoor tables amid greenery. - Dan <p>

We took a long morning walk, visiting the amazing garden near the hospital. Lunch in Grand cul-de-sac overlooking its beach at Aux Amis proved a break in the weather. Dan started a new drawing of the harbor while Jim shopped in Gustavia. A highlight of the day was dinner at Eden Rock's Sand Bar, a Jean Georges restaurant. Later Dan wrote a brief restaurant review of the great meal at the Sand Bar, for a web site about all things on St. Barth's. Thursday morning Jim had one of his scuba dives; he enjoyed another successful dive in the afternoon. Dan played intermezzi and other works by Brahams on the piano at the Anglican church. The day's biggest event was the arrival of friends Barbara and Marylin from Boynton Beach, Florida via St. Maarten. After we met their ferry, and we stopped at the villa, we all headed to Eddy's restaurant for a celebratory welcome meal. - Dan <p>

A filling lunch we made in the villa was followed in the evening with dinner at Le Quartier General, which capped a good day on the island. - Dan <p>

Then, for lunch we drove to Columbier to have a wonderful lunch at Les Bananiers. The duck confit, the daily special was indeed special, and Dan indulged in another molleux au chocolat (same as the fondant mentioned previously.) This time it was served with coconut ice cream. After a relaxing afternoon we had dinner at The Fish Corner. - Dan <p>

On Sunday, after our hours of flights and in-transit waits, we arrived at the airport in St. Jean, on St. Barth. Despite some rain, it seemed special to return to this beautiful island. Because Jim had some eye surgery last year, we were not here. This year we again rented the marvelous villa, high up on a hill in Gustavia, which overlooks the harbor. Jim wasted no time enjoying a relaxing soak in our private infinity pool. After unpacking we walked to Le Repaire for a delicious dinner, complete with a fondant au chocolat, the best dessert anywhere, a genius invention of French cuisine. - Dan <p>

Saturday after breakfast and Jim's workout at the hotel's large gym, we headed to the Old Port, the oldest part of this sprawling city, where we visited the 19th century neo-Gothic Basilica of Notre-Dame. This cathedral has many carved, gilt details and is a popular tourist attraction, After that we took a taxi to the Museum of Fine Arts. A pleasant lunch of tortellinis was followed by visits to the galleries to see decorative arts, the old master collection and early 20th century Canadians (see the photo of a landscape by Tom Thomson.) In between touring the museum's collection, we attended a concert of Bach's Christmas and New Year cantatas in the Salle Bourgie, which at one time was a church, renovated in 1937-8 by Percy Erskine Nobbs, considered one of Canada's most important architects of the 20th century. Sunday morning we return to Philadelphia by air after a short but delightful visit to three Canadian cities. - Dan <br />

In the European/American art galleries there are masterpieces by Rembrandt, Rubens, Turner, Monet, Klimt and dozens of others, mostly high quality works by these great artists. In the Canadian art section, Dan particularly wanted to view the works of Tom Thompson and "The Seven," early 20th century landscape artists who captured the pristine beauty of their country. The mystical works of Emily Carr are also represented in the gallery. Readers, if you don't know the works of these talented Canadians, please look them up on Google for a visual feast. Paintings shown below are by Van Gogh, Severini ("Black Cat") and Tom Thompson. For dinner back in Montreal we ate at an old French restaurant, "L'Autre Saison," in a 19th century house. We could have been dining back in the 1950's, but the food was traditional and good. - Dan <p>

We took a taxi to the Gare du Palais, the main train station in Quebec City to begin our journey to Montreal. The station is quite nice architecturally, having been designed by one of the architects who designed the Chateau Frontenac. Our three and a half hour train ride was like a journey through a winter wonderland, with fields and farms blanketed by snow that will endure until Spring. After checking in to our hotel in Montreal, we ate lunch at Shu-Dan, a popular Japanese restaurant nearby. After Jim ventured on line and Dan read for a while, we walked in the frigid air to Pois Penche, a brasserie, where we dined on lobster, a seafood soupiere (like a bouillabaise) and ended our meal with our favorite dessert, the chocolate fondant. - Dan <p>

Light snow has filled the air of this beautiful city all day, creating a romantic atmosphere. Before lunch we visited the Musee des Beaux Arts, located in three connected modern buildings. For lunch we dined in old town's Echaude Restaurant, featuring the finest food we've had in this cuisine-oriented town. Dinner, after relaxing cocktails in the 1608 Bar, was at the hotel's Champlain Restaurant, run by award-winning chef Stephane Modat. We're sad to say goodbye to beautiful Quebec City this Thursday morning as we make our way to Montreal by rail. - Dan <p>

The narrow streets are full of old houses, shops and bistros. At 11 AM we took a guided tour of our hotel, the Chateau Frontenac, which opened in 1893. Yet its most interesting wing was built in the 1920s, which still survives and includes the lavishly decorated lobby. Lunch in the old town, at the wonderful Lapin Saute restaurant was hearty. Jim had a seafood cassoulet, and Dan enjoyed a salmon vol-au-vent. A scrumptious chocolate souffle concluded our meal. We returned to the hotel by the funicular for a rest. Then, late afternoon we had a French language class (with wine!) at the hotel, with a vivacious teacher, a Quebecois woman who is both a licensed tour guide and a former nurse. Dinner later was full of Quebec specialties at Anciens Canadiens, located in one of the city's oldest houses, built in the 17th century. - Dan <p>

Our jets traveled from Philadelphia to Toronto and then to Quebec. The delightful old town is topped by the grand Chateau Frontenac, one of the best hotels in the world, unique for its enormous size and French-Canadian charm. For dinner at our first night here we dined at Boulay, highly recommended by our good friend Richard des Jardins (of Quebec,) and others. On the way to dinner we marveled at the beautifully illuminated old town. - Dan <p>

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at home with friends Jet and Richard. For appetizers, Dan put out the following treats: hummus, whitefish spread, a Horseradish cheddar cheese and pickled mushrooms. All served with crackers, of course. Plus Jim had baked a bunch of chestnuts, which everyone gobbled down big time.
For dinner Jim made a Kabocha squash (rather like acorn squash, very flavorful) and Whole Foods provided the following: mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, and green beans with shallots.The only mistake: a big brownie that Jim baked in the oven. To Dan, the chocolate tasted bitter in that
and Dan decided not to have any leftover pieces of that item. Jim also put out his tofu turkey, but only Jim and one guest ate any of that. But I have to say that the $69 he paid for the food from Whole Foods was reasonable because that spread would have fed eight instead of the four eaters present here. The nasty brownie came not from Whole Foods but with the tofu turkey (free at Shop Rite) and Jim threw away the rest of it today. The main desserts were separate chocolate mousses from Di Bruno. They were delicious! - Dan

to Richmond, Virginia. We saw four attractions: the Capitol (with a great tour guide there), the Valentine Museum, including a tour of its 1812 Wyckam House,
a wonderful example of Federal architecture,
the Museum of Fine Arts and the ICA (Inst. Contemporary Art.) The last had mostly displays by artists
decrying the past treatment of slaves and black people by those in power, namely white men.
It's interesting that the atmosphere in Virginia has changed so much from when Dan visited
the state as a child and teen.
There was a great Hopper exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts and we also
had a really good lunch there in their restaurant, before we took the train home. The
weather was just as cool in Richmond as here in Philadelphia. The train ride home,
was miserable as there was a half hour delay, lengthening the trip into five and 1/2 hours.
Going down to the city was much better, a 4 hour and 15 minute trip. The trains also has
a longer stop at Washington when traveling north. Amtrak still has a way to go to match
