2/3 cup of your favorite tomato sauce

1 large ball fresh mozzarella

Small handful of basil leaves (roughly torn)

Slice the eggplants into 1/3" discs. Sprinkle slices with a small pinch of coarse sale on each side and place in a single layer between two clean kitchen towels. Place a cookie sheet on top and weigh down with something heavy. Let sit for 20 min.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly dredge eggplant slices int he flour. Heat olive oil in large skillet over high heat, when hot, add the eggplant slices in a single layer, turn heat to medium-high and cook for about 1.5 min each side or until dark golden brown. Drain the eggplant on paper towels.

In a baking dish, arrange the eggplant in a single layer. Top each slice with a small spoonful of tomato sauce, a few small pieces of torn mozzarella, some basil and a dusting of parmesan. Continue the layers, evenly distributing all of the ingredients. Bake 25-30 Min. or until the cheese is melting and bubbling and the house smells divine.

Tips for Keeping Happy Memories Vivid

(From Blog "The Happiness Project")
There are four stages of reveling in a moment of happiness, as you:-- anticipate with pleasure,-- savor the moment as you experience it,-- express your happiness to yourself or others, and-- reflect on a happy memory. One important way to cultivate #4 is to keep mementos that help you recall happy memories. Here are some tips for using mementos to keep happy memories vivid:

1. BE SELECTIVE. Remember, the more mementos you keep, the less meaningful each one will be. If you frame a wonderful piece of artwork that your son did in kindergarten, you can enjoy it. If you keep every piece of artwork your son did from pre-school through second grade in a huge box in the basement, you’ll never look through it. A few items = precious mementos. A huge mass of objects = overwhelming clutter.

2. Keep a one-sentence journal.

3. Photo albums. Although it’s tempting to keep taking pictures and loading them onto the computer, I still think it’s worth taking the extra, burdensome steps of turning some into actual photographs and pasting them in an album.

4. Transformation. I read about one woman who turned her children’s favorite little toys into Christmas ornaments by using gardening wire, and another woman who made a quilt out of patches taken from all her favorite college t-shirts, and another woman who made decorative bed pillows out of her wedding dress. These transformations are a way to hang on to precious memories in a new way.
