dont worry about @Nyboy he gets easily confused....to much city water...

speaking of eggplant thats on the menu this week...

I wondered. That and the smog!
I was a bit preoccupied to laugh initially! I've NEVER had or raised eggplant. Wouldn't know what to do with it if it smacked me in the face!

@MatthewsHomestead I like to joke with people. Mixing up plants is some thing that happens a lot blame it on nursery staff

love the stuff and it can be cooked in many ways. grows well in hot weather and doesn't seem to be difficult.

@Nyboy please keep up the joking! Laughter is something this world is in short supply of!

It sounds like I need to add eggplant to next year's garden!

Unless you have an Italian community close, Italian food in Midwest is under whelming. Pasta over cooked, sauce lacks spices, etc, etc, etc... people here think Olive Garden is Italian.... might as well buy canned chef boyardee.

I forget not all places have good Italian, every other restaurant here is Italian or Chinese.

amen bro.....

99% of all chain restaurants, have their food produced/manufactured in a food commissary, and then delivered to a food distribution outfit and then delivered to the stores, so it tastes the same from one to the other....

if you do that you might as well eat canned chili too. both gross IMO.

my gosh it's not like it is impossible to cook Italian well at home yourself. and the great thing there is you can adjust your spices to taste and modify and create recipes you enjoy.
