This is not something one experiences when you don't have to clean up
after your mount.

And I'm envious of your experience.

Have you tried eggplant parmigiana like at the Olive Garden restaurant? I
enjoy it that way, but not otherwise. In the frozen dinner section, look for
Michael Angelo's Eggplant Parmesan. I like that one, too, and now usually
keep one in my freezer.

I also like Brussels Sprouts with butter or margarine and parmesan cheese.

HTH.

Now, someone responded while quoting just "Ensign Pulver" and making
it plural. That is, "Ensign Pulver"s.

This does not look correct to me. So, what is the proper way to make a
singular quotation into a plural?

Heh. You're the one who admitted to the English education.

Using the apostrophe doesn't make it plural, it denotes possession.
The pluralized form of it would be Ensign Pulvers', but I don't think
you can pluralize a person. heh.


I thought the plural would be 'Ensigns Pulver'. No?

beats me, I give up. heh.

Not that I'm obsessing about this, but...

It depends on the context. If one is talking about multiple ensigns
named Pulver, then it would be "Ensigns Pulver". If one is talking
about multiple people serving the role of the specific Ensign Pulver,
then it would be Ensign Pulvers.

It all comes down to which word is the noun, and which word is serving
as an adjective.


Ya, you are right. I was just thinking it wouldn't work because I
didn't think there could be one of the same person unless that
particular Ensign was cloned or something. heh.

If you had more than one Ensign of the the same name, you're right.

Ever read Kiln People?

Asian eggplant, the slender ones? They're less bitter and mushy
than the bulbous western types. Look into Ma-Po Tofu, but with
eggplant replacing tofu.

I always order eggplant on the menu. It's like liver and onions the
chef knows how you don't. Greek and Indian restaurants serve tasty
versions. You're not so past 30 you worry about your health. Eat more
greens like spinach,turnip,collard,mustard plus boiled okra and puerh
will taste like desert.

PS: Occasionally Walmart will have a thin slice baby beef liver that
will cook in a skillet in minutes without the edges drying and curling.
I think something like a buck for 12 oz.

Actually, I hate liver and onions as done in a restaurant. I'm always
disappointed. I prefer cooking it myself.

You must have one of those with the grocery store built in. I don't
think we have any of those around here.

You know there's more than one kind of eggplant, too, right? By the

Eggplant is delicious. I love eggplant. You can leach out the tanins
with
salt. What's wrong with you people. Derek, eggplant everyday until you
change your mind. Reminds me of fresh meadow grasses. (Your eggplants
need
to be grown on the steppes in proximity of fine Siberian horses.

Blech. I'm past 30, and I've yet to find a recipe for eggplant that I

NOT HALF BAD???? Brussel Sprouts are the
*only* veggie more delicious than eggplant.

Maybe...if you've lost your taste buds in a horrible eating accident.

I can think of several vegetables that are more delicious than
eggplant or Burssel Sprouts. Sweet Potatoes, for example, make
wonderful mashed potatoes, pie or even waffles.

I wouldn't get within 5 miles of an eggplant waffle. Yech.

I'm nursing a horrendous cold with Guangxi green tea today. Ugh.

Sorry to hear that. Stay warm and comfortable.

I'll try. Thanks.
