Spaghetti with Aubergine Sauce

We wash and cut the aubergines in small cubes. We salt them and leave them in the colander to soak the bitterness out of them. We wash them again and strain them. We peel and chop the tomatoes. In a deep pan, we heat the oil with 2-3 spoonfuls of water. We add the garlic and the aubergines.

Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Men Should Respect Women

«You should respect your wives. If you don’t feel love, they will suffer and think that they are a means for your enjoyment, and they will feel terrible themselves... A woman wants love to be satisfied with her husband. She has a more delicate heart because she will raise children, and her condition is sensitive. She has tenderness. She doesn't want ribaldries and no dignities. That's why she gets hurt when they treat her like a ‘piece of meat’ and don’t care about her feelings.»
