tooth extractions and eggplant pasta

This morning at approximately 8:45, Dr. Dentist extracted my top two wisdom teeth. I have since discovered two things:

Number 1. The procedure was much less uncomfortable than I imagined.
Number 2. The effects of the procedure are much more painful than I imagined.

Now to take my mind off this ever increasing pain...photos of dinner I whipped up the other night. My first attempt at making an eggplant pasta dish. (Starting with a glass of cabernet sauviginon.)
