Eggplant Parmesan

I've only had Eggplant Parmesan a couple of times in my life. I don't remember if I liked it the first time -I guess it left no lasting impression- but the second time I did. It's kind of like how all of a sudden I liked mushrooms. I remember acting as though I was about to die as soon as I felt one on my tongue. But then one day I was ordering them on my pizza. So today I decided that because I am growing eggplant in my garden I should learn how to make a good Eggplant Parmesan. After searching around for a bit I found one that really sounds great! It goes beyond the traditional recipe becomeing a kind of lasagna. I can't wait to try it out- it sounds delich!

Garden

There's just a real joy and satisfaction from watching your garden grow and picking the first vegetables off the vines. Today I plucked 6 perfect green beans from my container garden. Not a bountiful harvest but it made me happy none the less. In a few more days I will be able to double that. I lost a few plants during the sprouting stage but I have a nice little variety of vegetables (& herbs) coming along quite well. I can't wait to start harvesting the others. There is lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, eggplant, beets, strawberries, cantaloupe, cilantro and chives. Lovely!
