Fried Egg Plant

[Ann B.]

Traditionally, I always grew the regular eggplant that you can get in the stores. The biggest problem was the seeds and the mushiness (spell?) when you cooked them.

There is a teacher that is 2 classrooms from me that has caught onto the fact that I love plants. He is a veggie grower. A couple of days ago, he stopped by my classroom early in the morning and asked if I wanted some eggplants.

I took about 6 of them and noticed that they were so slender, not the big fat ones. I brought them home, and they were sliced, dipped in an egg/milk mixture then fried and WOW! I had no idea!

What a difference in eggplants! Who would have known? So, today, I told him not to compost any extras because I want them!

I'll have to ask him the variety name. Gosh! I am impressed! We have the same planning block this semester, so I hope to get a chance to talk to him more about gardening. He is obviously very good at it!

Fun!

My Italian neighbour grows Egg Plants.
She slices them up, sprinkles them with Olive Oil and cooks them on the BBQ Prepared that way they are yummy too.
