Aubergine with basil/spinach pesto and mozzerella, mushrooms roasted in balsamic vinegar, sautéed leeks, and roasted asparagus.

@Flick Damn that looks good.

@ninapaley It was, if I do say so myself, really bloody tasty.

Eatons was one of Canada's biggest department stores for the longest time, with history going back I believe centuries. Unfortunately it faced fierce competition and by 2000 had been bought by sears, and by 2002 the brand was no more.

Whenever I see or hear Aubergine, I'll always remember this ad campaign (I never actually saw -- I heard about it through a radio show about advertising called Under The Influence which used it as a good example of how great advertising can't save a product that's already doomed to die)
