I grew up with a lot of Italian friends, and their moms always made eggplant parmigiana, and so as not to be rude, I'd choke it back but never really liked it. I think it was the texture of the fried eggplant. The idea of grilling it is very appealing to me, but even more so, is the idea of using zucchini (I read through the comments here; great idea by the way!!) I'm trying it for dinner tonight :)

I found your post because @el-nailul featured you in our Pay it Forward Curation contest entry; I'm one of the judges :) We'd love to see you join us with an entry of your own next week too :)

I'd also like to invite you to join @asapers. We regularly post a READ me ASAP publication where we feature our members' quality unnoticed posts, such as this one. But you need to be a member for me to submit it. I hope to see you there! :)

I'm also submitting your post to c-squared; hopefully they'll stop by to show their appreciation too!

and thanks again for the dinner idea :)
