It's not unusual to find food gifts on my doorstep of a morning that have been left by Corrie my friend and neighbour who happens to live three doors down to my right. So the other morning after my usual morning shuffle (car, school, car, gym, car, greengrocer, car, home) I was pleased to find a bunch of fresh flat leaf parsley and a handful of teeny weeny baby eggplants on my doorstep.
I immediately sent Corrie a text to thank her for the fresh herbs and eggplants and she text me straight back to say that the stash was not from her! Mmm - I did a little double take and had to think twice about who would have gifted me with these tiny little eggplants? I then realised that it must have been Lanie my other neighbour and friend four doors down to my left.
I'm so grateful to be living amongst some wonderful friends and neighbours.

Ooooh, you're making me feel all warm and fuzzy! Funnily enough - I had to do a double take as well as we had the baby eggplants dropped off at our house from the farm - and I didn't think I had given them to anyone!!! Maybe my father in law was cutting out the middle man and going direct to you!!! What did you do with them!? They make pretty good wedges for the kids actually!
yum. i have a great eggplant parm recipe if you're looking for inspiration. i bake the breaded eggplant instead of frying them. yum.
I really like the idea of baking the eggplant instead of frying it as those eggplants sure love to soak up all that oil.
