Received a beautiful eggplant in "the box", and John had a dreaded Rotary Board meeting, so I was on dinner: Thinly sliced the eggplant, salted and drained it for a bit, while making the sauce.
Sauce: Saute some onions and garlic, add crushed tomatoes, a sprinkle of red chili flakes, and the rest of last night's red wine.
Turn the oven on broil, rinse and dry the eggplant. Pour some oil in a baking sheet, dip the eggplant in the oil on both sides, lightly salt. Broil each side until lightly browned.
Grate up equal portions of mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Lightly oil a baking dish:
layer of eggplant, sauce, cheese.
Repeat three times.
bake until your husband comes home from Rotary.
Serve with a tossed green salad and fruit.
The conversation wandered from the traditional Rotary rants to decision to move to Italy, and if so where.

It really doesn't matter where you end up in Italy. Two things will be true: the dollar sucks pond water and the people around you know that garlic is a vegetable.
