Kris, that's great! They are definitely not attractive, but they are yummy. Rave reviews from all so far, except I've not heard a peep yet from two friends.

Anonymous, yeah!! I'm so happy you liked them. I think they might be good, too, in nori rolls. Just an idea.

Joan, I just added this to my Patchwork Living Blogging Bee as a means to keep track of the recipe. It appears that eggplant is one veggie that does well here, so I need to figure out how best to use it.

Anonymous, they were long slenderish ones - gone fat now with the end of the season. I'll try to tweet a photo of them today. My husband reports they are delicious served over rice, just not attractive. I've not tried them yet, but today could be the day.

Jackie, Many thanks! It was one of those hilarious yet mildly disheartening moments as I realized how completely accurate his statement was.

Your last two sentences: priceless.

Joan your fearless attitude is inspiring... I made myself and all those around me thoroughly sick of eggplant this summer, serving it in practically every meal. All because I was too chicken to can it somehow. Let us know how they turned out! Were they fat oval eggplants or the long slender ones?
