I am purging eggplant
I've never really cooked with eggplant before.
But one came in my veggie-box this week and well, I figured I'd better do SOMTHING with it. So I'm purging it (ala Alton Brown) and then I'll rinse and pat it dry, brush with olive oil and grill it with some seasonings... after that, I have NO idea what I'll do with it (other than eat it).
Perhaps I'll put some sketti-sauce on it and some parm/motzarella and bake it up... hmmm...
In any case, I feel really excited because I've never cooked wtih eggplant before, and here I am... doing it.
:D
Oh... and I did a chin up at the playground with the boys this morning.
All the way up.
Just one, but it was real and I did it.
:D

Awesome on the chinup! And I'm glad you didn't try to pan fry the eggplant like I did the first time I fixed it. Takes a lot of oil to fry up that sucker!

Eggplant is the styrofoam packing peanuts of the food world...every eggplant dish I can remember enjoying (and there actually have been a few), the eggplant played the sauce-holder role...
