The Secret

Oprah may have her own version of the secret but I discovered mine today. It has been months since we have had a meal with everyone staying at the table for the duration. A game of duck-duck-goose, potty breaks, or simply the distraction of having a dinner table surrounded by windows, leads to our meal resembling Grand Central Station with all of the comings and goings. Tonight, all five sat quiet and stuffed their chubby little faces. Al & I actually had adult conversation. The secret, Eggplant Parmesan. Who knew? Definitely not the kids and I wasn't about to tell them what they were eating.

Wow, never would have guessed that grape jelly was in that! Intriguing!

I have always wondered what in the world I would do with eggplant. I have honestly never eaten it. Now I might have a reason to try it! Sounds yummy, and if the kids eat it, even better! Love your blog as always. We miss seeing you guys (even if we only saw you every few months in Columbus) Hope you guys are doing well and enjoying Al's last year of residency. Where is the next stop for the Burns?

Hmmmm... I'm going to have to give that a try. I can't remeber the last time Wade and I could actually talk to each other over dinner.
