    This looks good. My garden's eggplant is giving up the ghost in this heat wave. But I have enough for this. LOve the garlic, basil combo. It's sort of an eggplant dressing rolled up. By the way have you noticed the wave of people teaming up and rating each others recipes 5s as soon as they are posted. This is going to be the death of this site. The rating system needs to go.
