In addtion to a bottle of lemon juice, Sheri also picked up a couple of fresh lemons. I squeezed the juice of half of one into the baba ganoush, and oh my God! It tastes absolutely wonderful! I wish you were here so I could share some with you. It is way better than any restaurant stuff.

You should try making some. The hardest part is finding a jar of tahini in the store. You don't use much tahini, so just keep a jar on hand in your refrigorator. I think homemade baba ganoush, hummus, and pita bread triangles will be my new standard thing to take to pot lucks.
