What is it an egg or a plant? I'm not eating anything that can't make up it's mind. (or something like that) Apologies to the late great George Carlin. Love it, but didn't start liking it until adulthood. BTW, in Japan eggplant is "nasu". Summer is "natsu". A summer vacation is "natsu oyasumi". (oyasumi is holiday). So when being offered eggplant by a Japanese in the summer say, "Sorry, this is my nasu oyasumi." Either howls or groans will follow. Eggplant. What is it an egg or a plant?

But they have to have no hint of sweet in them. I slammed the jars full of garlic, dill, and mustard seeds, too. [3] I don't think I like eggplant that way. Maybe sauted. On the grill they come out underdone or else kind of cardboardy. But eggplant parm is one of my favorites (and a little of that pesto you showed yesterday makes it ambrosiac). [4] Me too.

Have you ever tried those tiny eggplants? What would you do with them? I just bought a peck of little warty cukes from a farm stand, and I pickled them. It was very easy. In a few days I'll try them. Half of them are pickled in the usual way (boiling the full jars to sterilize) and half I tried using a refrigerator method, which means the pickles won't last as long but they should be crisper (which I love).
