Roasted Eggplant Spread


First Rosh Hashanah in our new house brought some new winners and to be honest, some flops.
Our world famous gefilte fish can not be discussed, it will upset my mother too much. It flopped for first time ever. And to make matters worse, we had scheduled a throwdown with the neighbors...lesson: overpromising and underdelivering is not a good feeling, don't do it!
Could it have been the New Jersey sourced fish? The new oven? The not enough time to chill? Let's just say we need to course correct in preparation for next year. Poor Geneve was over and might be scarred. We will fix that.

My chicken soup and matzo balls came out world class though! I am going to need to make more and freeze it! My mother also made a new apple cake from Bonnie Stern's HeartSmart that was a huge hit that I did again that week for break fast.

Onto the subject at hand...This roasted eggplant appetizer was enjoyed by everyone, event those who pretend they don't like eggplant (Lee). It is of course Ina Garten, so it is an obvious 5 star!
Here is the recipe:

My freaking lousy EOS 1000D !!!

Ok. I've been changing to 2.8 and 1.8 lens half year ago. After the change I noticed my body can't focus properly with my EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM and also EF 85 f/1.8 USM.
The hit rate was inconsistent. God damn it even using the center AF point the focus still miss out sometimes. Damn lousy camera.

Here I will show some samples taken from my camera.

These 2 photos was sharp image. So 100% crop doesn't need to be posted.








Now comes the soft image sample.





100% crop





This is the lousiest result when you trying to use the 1st left/right AF point.





100% crop :x





Even I using center AF point the image still OOF like hell !!!





But sometimes the hit rate was good and I don't know why. The body is just too sucks.





100% crop





I SERIOUSLY need a semi-pro body at least an EOS 50D , or the best 7D since the Canon gila sales promotion. But I don't have that MUCH pocket money. Plus my monthly pocket money is not that much, inconsistent. But what to do ? ¯\(°_o)/¯
