Thanks. Fried eggplant is a decidedly southern dish, one of few fried foods I eat. The other is okra. Yummy. I love eggplant roasted, too.

Hannah is beautiful, and your eggplant looked pretty good, too. Must admit I’ve never tried eggplant except in a vegetarian sandwich, with a whole bunch of other ingredients.

What’s that one recipe…? Baba Ghanoush? I think it revolved around the eggplant.

I have a lazy person’s garden, only a few veggies among the flowers out front. I check on them from behind my windows (in AC). Ah, that works for me. Of course, I must do a little weeding. I shook on fertilizer once. The rains have kept them watered. This is first effort and I wanted to test the waters. It has been so rewarding, though, I’ll certainly plant more.

I’ll have to try your julliane slices next time. Sounds good. That might interest the grandkids more that way, too. Thanks for the tip.

Fried eggplant and fried squash are wonderful. We’ve long sliced squash the way you sliced your eggplant for frying, but we recently started slicing it for French frying like potatoes. We think it’s much better that way. Haven’t tried eggplant that way though.

It is amazing how much better vegetables taste when they are consumed straight out of the garden. I’ve read that the taste declines almost exponentially with time.

We’re getting lots of good stuff from our garden, but it and the heat are working on my old body. Picking butter beans is torture.

It looks yummy!!

I just started discovering the joys of growing my own veggies last year and I’m hooked. I’m still keeping it down to a minimum (and waiting on that asparagus to mature enough to start cutting spears from it), but I suspect my garden will expand as time goes on.

I wish I could get my granddaughter to eat veggies. Her parents are almost proud of the fact that they don’t like many veggies, and they’ve passed that on to their oldest daughter. Perhaps Maddy, our new granddaughter (and their youngest), will be different. It’s possible, too, that as Emma (the oldest) gets older she may change her mind, especially if she hangs out with us for a while.

Wonderful! I’m so very happy your plant did in fact end up producing for you these wonderful fruits we call vegetables. Eggplant is also one of my own very favorites. I just can’t seem to get enough of it. Yummy! And how sweet that you can spoil your granddaughter with them. Keep on growing!

How embarrassing. You are so right. I was hoping no one would notice I dove into my treasure trove and forgot to come up for air until I had only three pieces left. I grabbed the camera with greasy hands and captured the last of them.

Just checked your blog site. Great photos. I will be back.
