INTRODUCING BUILDING FEATURE RENOVATION Sustainable features and contemporary design make this home stand out from the rest Y ou wouldnt notice Mark Atwood and Stephanie Lynch’s home the first time you pass it. From the street, it looks like many other houses in the Fleming Heights area of Halifax. Just a few minutes past the Armdale Rotary on Purcell’s Cove Road, the neighbourhood boasts a range of sleepy, 1960s-era bungalows with tidy, treelined yards. Their home almost fits that pattern until a closer look reveals its uniqueness. Tucked in off the road behind some mature trees, the small brown bungalow has a sleek modern front deck, giving a hint about its contemporary interior. Back in 2007, Mark, an architect, and Stephanie, an elementary school green teacher, decided the 2,000-square-foot house was too small for their growing family and they embarked on a major renovation of the space. “The original house had three bedrooms,” Mark recalls. “When we were about to have our third child, we thought we should probably add on.” But the renovation did more than just create extra space in the a home. “We’ve really taken the house from something average to something we think is pretty special,” adds Mark. Born in Ottawa and raised in Winnipeg, Mark came to Halifax in 1992 to complete his master’s degree in architecture. “I managed to find work right after school and fell in love with the place,” he says. Stephanie bought the small bungalow in 1999 and Mark moved in slate when they married in 2004. Built around the same time as other homes on the street, their home sits next to Sir Sandford Fleming Park. The park’s wooded hiking trails and its large pond, Frog Pond, are popular spots for kids and families in the area. Mark is an associate with Lydon Lynch, a Halifax architecture firm behind many prominent projects in the region, including the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Pier 21: Canada’s Immigration Museum, the Waterside Cen- tre, which is a new commercial development near the Historic Properties BY: CHRISTINA COPP in downtown Halifax, and the new platinum-designed LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Seaport Farmers’ Market on the PHOTOS BY JAMES INGRAM, Halifax waterfront.

INTRODUCING FOOD FEATURE EATING IN enchanted with eggplant A nn Thurlow has never met an eggplant she didn’t like. Well, perhaps those soft, heavily seeded ones that linger too long on the grocery-store shelf. Eggplant can turn bitter and mealy when it’s overmature and seedy, frustrating even the most ardent home chef. BY: VALERIE MANSOUR But Thurlow no longer worries about this now that the Charlottetown home chef can buy as much fresh eggplant as she needs from a local grower. “When it’s in season I have it all the time,” she says. “If I could have it every day, I would. On my plate it’s like a potato.” Thurlow says Known for its impressive versatility, versatility is eggplant’s greatest appeal. “You can make a full meal of it, a side dish with other stuff, a vegetarian dish if that’s your mood or with eggplant may be off the radar for most meat accompaniment.” The taste of eggplant is hard to describe. Its dense, spongy flesh cooks but this attractive and intriguing absorbs the flavours of whatever it’s cooked with. Its texture can be unpredictable—light and springy when seared quickly on the grill or vegetable is working its flavourful way dense and stringy after a few minutes in the roasting pan. “I love how it feels in my mouth—it’s sort of soft,” Thurlow says. “I’m thinking of nutty into East Coast kitchens and earthy. It just tastes of itself. Part of it is truthfully because you cook it in olive oil.” Upper Canard, Nova Scotia home chef Donna Crawford also matches eggplant with olive oil. “I peel them first, dip them in egg and breadcrumbs and perhaps some basil and fry them in hot butter and oil and they go crisp,” she says. “They have lovely flavour—I could eat any number of those.” Noting that eggplant is one of her favourite ingredients, Crawford grows a long, purple Japanese variety called Little Fingers. She starts the plants on her windowsill each spring. “I have to grow my own so I can get a consistent supply,” she says. As an administrative coordinator with Horticulture Nova Scotia, Crawford says it’s been 10 years since anyone grew a large, commercial crop in the province. “And that’s a shame.” Reaching its peak in late summer, eggplant needs a long, hot growing season—a reality that’s been a turn off for most East Coast farmers. But some growers are cultivating eggplant in small amounts in greenhouses or tunnel houses (a greenhouse where plants are in the ground). Margie Loo, owner of Elderflower Organic Farm in Belfast, Prince Edward Island, says eggplant is her fastest-selling item at the weekly Charlottetown Farmers’ Market. “It doesn’t matter how many I take, I sell out,” she says. “There’s much more demand now, partly because people are more adventuresome with their food.” Loo has planted about 100 purple and black Italian varieties in low greenhouses. “They’re not hard to grow as there aren’t many insect or disease problems,” she says. Eggplant is technically a fruit—a berry, in fact—although we eat it as a vegetable. A member of the nightshade family, it’s related to the potato and tomato. Eggplant is beautiful, ranging in shapes and sizes from a two or three-inch egg-shape to the most familiar glossy pear shape. Although most people recognize the dark-purple variety, colours can vary: cream, violet, green, pale yellow, red, or even purple and white striped. Eggplant originated in India, with Arab traders spreading it throughout the Middle East, Europe and Africa, and then by settlers into the Amer- icas. It remains an important element of traditional ethnic cuisines such as Chinese, Greek, Turkish, Italian and Lebanese.1 eastcoastLIVING WINTER 2010 WINTER 2010 eastcoastLIVING 2 ‹ AFTER
