In one of my blogs I told you I would make an eggplant dessert and I did! This is a picture of mini eggplant pancakes covered in sugar. They were so good!!!!!!!!!!!!! First my mom cut the eggplant in to slices. Then she dried the eggplant. After that she dip the eggplant in the pancake batter and fried it. Then drained the oil and then rolled in sugar. It is best to eat them right away while they are still crunchy.

I know it has been a while since I last wrote. I don't have any eggplants. I gave my last few to the neighbors. This is a picture of my garden. I'm also growing tomatos and peppers and jalapenos. My mom has a little garden too. She planted watermelons and cantaloupe and pumpkins. They have flowered but still no fruit.

Inspired by Marilyn's comment on my last blog entry I decided to look for some dessert recipes. I found some eggplant desserts they are called Eggplant cake, Eggplant french toast style, Melanzane Al Ciccolato (Eggplant layered with riccota and chocolate), and Fried eggplant with sugar. At this point I ran out of eggplants but when I get some more I'll try a recipe. THANK YOU MARILYN FOR THE INSPIRATION!!!

Eggplants can be very cheap, in fact We had Fried Eggplant, Eggplant Parmesan and meatballs for less than 10 dollars. It fed a family of five! That's a lot of people too. Some dinners can cost more than 10 dollars to feed one person! That saves money in this tough economy. It tasted amazing!!!!

Did you know an eggplant is very low in fat and has no cholesterol. It has 2% of your recommended daily carbohydrate plus 11% of your daily fiber too. It has 2% of your daily protein. The eggplant is packed with vitamins. Such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, Niacin, vitamin B6, Pantothenic Acid. The eggplant has many minerals such as Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, and Copper.

Just when you thought Eggplant Insanity was over - it gets more INSANE. Look at the size of this thing!!!!! It's huge. Believe it or not it's an eggplant from our garden. It's called a Black Beauty. The plant usually fruits every 10 to 14 days. They can grow up to 6 inches in diameter. They can weigh 1.5 pounds. One fruit can feed a family of four. Tonight we might have Eggplant Parmesan for dinner.

IT'S A BOY it doesn't have a lot of seeds so it's a boy!!! This is my last eggplant insanity blog. I had a wonderful time making it. Thank you for being followers of my blog. Be sure to read my next one . I bet it will better than this one. By the way that's me slicing my eggplant that I Grew for Two Weeks. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
