  1. Mmmm! Now I'm hungry. It's amazing what images can do to the mind and tummy.
    Your blue socks and shoes reminded me of the blue slipper socks I wore with my orange bathing suit this past weekend. Thankfully no one was around. ;)
    Thanks for sharing!
    Blissful tidings!

    I would have joined you for a glass of wine and brought along dessert.

  18. Eggplant parmesan is the only way I really like eggplant, and when I say I really like it I mean I REALLY like it. There's no need to be fancy with good food like this around. :)

  20. Hi there, Thanks for sharing this recipe-it will come in handy as my youngest daughter planted four eggplants and they've never eaten it before. Can't wait to try your dish.
    Have a wonderful evening my friend.

  30. I made soup today and that soup had 4 eggplants that we grew in the soup. They have been very happy in this heat and have given us about 4 a day for 7 weeks. I have cooked dishes and put them in the freezer and we are eating eggplant almost everyday.
    I have signed up today to foster a dog and see if that dog would be a good fit for us. The dog was due to be put to sleep today and now that dog is at the vets and maybe they will bring me her tomorrow. We will see. I'll keep you posted.
    Love your kitchen out-fit....
