There are some vegetables I just don't eat very often. I think I get stuck in a rut with my favorites. But lately at the grocery the eggplants have been looking really good. In China I ate them often because there was an eggplant dish that I LOVED. Then I realized that I haven't cooked with them since China - 2 years ago. eek!
It must have been meant-to-be because that weekend I watched Giada on the Food Network cooking with eggplants. She inspired me to do something I don't do too often. Cook without a recipe.
