I will ask him where he gets his goods. If I can find an outlet for kashk, I'll go and check it out and try to get you some. Meanwhile, if you have any good eggplant recipes, I'd love to try them especially with any good hints and changes. I'll try to do them justice here! I have a friend at work that is Iranian.

We're huge fans of eggplants in this household. Which reminds me, let me know if/when you want me to pull some of those recipes from our Iranian cookbooks. I'll sit L. down to transcribe some of the changes he makes to recipes (especially for the eggplant khoresht). *** Off topic (sort of) questions: Do you have any middle eastern--specifically Persian minimarts or something--near you, by the way? One of my favorite Persian eggplant recipes uses this thing called "kashk" which is a whey based product (can be in liquid or solid form), and while I know some people substitute greek yogurt instead, it's definitely not the same thing. We're actually very low on our stash, so I've been trying to figure out where the nearest place is to buy some (seeing as we've been used to having it brought over for us...shhhh...). I know the DC/Virginia/Maryland area has the biggest population of Iranians on the east coast, so figured I'd ask! Sounds awesome. We’re huge fans of eggplants in this household.
