What a surprising number of eggplant lovers! I may try both your recipes, Wendy. Your hubby is a vegetarian? One of my brothers was a vegan for about 25 years and was a real pain in the backside at the holidays. His wife and kids ate meat. Then one day he said he just had to have Italian sausage and that was that. It always amazes me that he did not get sick from suddenly after all those years eating sausage of all things.
Kathy, did you see Jersey Boys yet? It is coming to LA in MAy. Tickets are on sale now for Amex card holders. I saw it in NY and it was great.
