Eggplant…My Nemesis

Good Till The Last Drop
There are just some things that cannot be wasted. I will go to great lengths to conserve my favorite body lotion. . Philosophy Body Emulsion Amazing Grace has magical powers. This is the only body lotion I’ve used that actually makes a difference. After showering, apply to dry skin, and your body feels silky soft. The key to this product's popularity is its lasting power. From shower to shower, my skin feels fabulous. With all that said, it is good till the last drop! PS....you can purchase Philosophy line on QVC, Philosophy stores or online. Use the link.

Thanks for the info you sent on changing blog wrapper sizes....I finally worked on mine today; it was scared at first, but turned out to be super easy. Thanks again!
My eggplant recipe is hardly a recipe but here's what I do ~~~~~ I cut the eggplant the evening BEFORE...I salt the slices and let them drain overnight. That takes all the liquid out of it which makes it less "meaty" . The next day I dip each slice in egg, flavored bread crumb and then fry it. I then put the slices in a baking dish (here's the good part) I use canned sauce and bake them for about 30 minutes in the sauce. I honesly think the key is the salting process. Makes them crip and more tasty when fried.
I ditto on the EP Parm. Love it and have done the salting thing. How 'bout eggplant tempura? (fried thing again...)
