Eggplant might look intimidating to many people, but when they eat this magnificent wonder of love out of my kitchen they stand converted.
As a kid I was not very fond of eggplant, it was a repulsive looking vegetable. But after living out of home for about 11 years now, eggplant and I are good friends. It is a permanent member of the house.
