Little of this, little of that….simmered for a couple of hours. Smells good. A good night for comfort food. Wish I had a nice dessert.

I like to put a little bleu cheese in the eggplant parmesan. A little really adds depth to the flavor

I've been making eggplant dishes from the garden, too! Eggplant sandwiches with roasted red pepper and chipotle mayo with basil strips on naan bread, for one. Baba ganoush, as I mentioned in the OP.
Welcome to C&B; hope you'll come back and post regularly.

Finally managed to find this group on the new DU!

We went out for lunch yesterday to my favorite Korean place, which has the best soondoobu around - but more than I can eat at one sitting. So I'm making a quick soup with some leftover chicken, dried mushrooms and their soaking water, and some carrots, and then plan to add the leftovers to the soup, adding more chile paste as needed.
