YUM! I’m waiting for the eggplant to ripen in my garden. I also like ratatouille…and you could watch the movie :-), eggplant rollatini, and baba ghanoush!
OneMommy says
You know, we just saw that movie for the first time last week… And I thought about making ratatoillie…. Maybe I’ll do that with the extra eggplant I have. 🙂

This is perfect timing I have 2 eggplants sitting on my dryer crying to be eaten but I had no idea what to do with them (mother in law loves them so planted for her but she is only over every other month or so).
OneMommy says
I have to say it turned out really tasty…. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m not usually a big eggplant fan myself, but this way I got to sneak some veggies into the husband’s dinner and nobody complained.
