Aging: Eventually you will reach a point
when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Hi Loretta, thanks for the start off.
I read on Roll Call that you have been busy with a new sweetheart. How wonderful for you. Enjoy!!

Be careful of those roads.

Anticipate going out for brunch with the gang and am looking forward to Eggplant parm at our favorite Italian Restaurant, The Little Venice.

Sure, we will pick him up at 1:30 Oh and you can come too. There is plenty to choose from.

BTW, if you go to the Little Venice's web site, they do ship all over the US.

That would be worth considerating, I've only made eggplant parm twice in our whole married life, and it took too long.................lol.

See yah later, on here or "elsewhere". dh is getting the grill ready for the tri tip.

[LoveMontana]

Gee Doris, it shouldn't take very long to throw it together.

Just slice the eggplant and either broil or fry it till brown ( you can bread it, but I don't bother)...layer in a pan with Mozzarella cheese and your favorite sauce, and bake for about 20 minutes.

You can cheat and buy the prepared egg plant "cutlets" in the frozen food section of most grocery stores.

[mykneesareback]

lol, back when I did it, I went through that whole "salting" thing with the eggplant pieces, that's what took so long
