    Waiter on the Way, may I help you?

    Agree with ejcapulet–Holly and Alix shouldn’t even bother counting, use one of mum’s credit cards (or ATM card) and start dialling!

    Sweaty eggplant is good! That just means the salt is releasing all the bitter liquid that makes people hate eggplant. Trust me, Val is on the right track. Let’s just see if she stays on it…

    Nobody gives poor Val any credit. I hope this recipe works out well and everyone loves it! Just to show them. :)

    I hate it when someone who is a bad cook “tries out a new recipe” and wants me to be a guinea pig.

    For RRAMom – there is something even worse here, that of inviting people over and using them as guinea-pigs; it wouldn’t quite be so bad if Val tried it out on Alix & Holly only.

    IMO, Val should have treated them out (such as to OCB?).

    Cruz4him, I texted your response to my wife; her reply was “only if the chef is of Indian/Persian/Meditteranean descent OR the brinjal is a small kind such as Indian/Japanese”–DOUBLY out!

    Well Wally and Joan were already going after Chinese food so they won’t be there. So if Holly and Alix don’t get the pizza they’re stuck. I hope Val likes the eggplant she may be eating it all by herself.

    Hurry before she gets to the vinegar and soy sauce.
    Then they’ll start sweating

    Slugs “sweat” when you salt them too. Both should not be eaten. Eggplant is related to tobacco and deadly-nightshade. The FDA should investigate!

    “sdvogel says:

    The eggplant is also related to the tomato, potato, capsicum pepper and petunia.

    Solanaceae is a very diverse and widely spread family of flowering plants.
