Egging Us On

As a lot of the garden is either winding down, puttering out or wasting away from Late Blight...  the small Asian Eggplant plants are doing very well.  To the tune of a lot.  This is just a single days harvest and Kelli has been pulling this number in ever couple of days for the last week.  Apparently - they are ready to fruit now - and there is no stopping these purple critters.

The good news is Kelli has come up with several creative battering, breading, roasting and grilling techniques to preserve these guys for late (LATE) season snacking and consuming.  With the garden under all that rain back in early June and then the cold summer this year we thought these plants were not going to yield much - instead - we are getting EGG-sactly what we love to see!

(no - that is NOT a yellow eggplant in there - it's one of the few summer squashes that are still coming off the plants)
