Well the other night Rowan and I went to this Lebanese restaurant. It was awesome! I loved this one dip and ate it all, leaving not much for my husband. I came to find it was EGGPLANT! I was SO happy! I could make it! I mean how hard could it be to mash up eggplant and put some lemon and sesame paste in it? Ha! Not hard! I am going to master this!
yeah....
I was super happy to go the store. I felt so awesome with 2 eggplants in my hand held basket. I was hoping the casher was going to ask what I was making for dinner. I mean an eggplant, sesame past, lemon and yogurt is so ethnic and cool! He didn't. Loser.
I skipped home and started following the directions.
...Did I mention that my husband was out of the house? He was playing volleyball and would not be home until late. My Friend was coming over for a girl night. I was going to make up girl food {egg plant is far far far from boy food}
So the first step was:
1. Wash eggplant and put in the the oven at 400 degrees.
So I did.
About 30 min later I hear an explosion from the oven....ummm shoot....
...then the other one burst open.
Is that suppose to happen? I doubt it. Dang it mom! {I always blame my mom when I mess up in the kitchen. Makes me feel better. Though I will admit here and now that she did TRY to teach me to do womanly things....like cook. I was just not interested and always had "better things to do" She gave it her best effort.}
I pulled out the once beautiful eggplant and found this horrid deformed mass

Sad, but was determined to make it work. I WANT TO LIKE EGGPLANT!
I followed the rest of the directions and mashed up all the stuff. By that time my friend had arrived! Perfect she could be there for the first tasting. I had such high hopes.
I stuck my finger in it and took a lick. GROSSS!!!! DIRTY DIPER!!!! SICKEST THING EVER!!!
Fail in a huge way.
The sick sick stuff I made. This is my barf face.

The problem was now it was late and I was hungry and so was my friend. All we had was mashed up eggplant that tasted like dirty dipper {it really did}.
So we walked to the store and got something you just open and put in the oven and then eat {don't do that very often so it felt like a big deal}
So we ate frozen food and talked.

I gave up eggplant. Even though it is purple and it LOOKS like it should taste like a mix of a strawberry and a mango. It does not taste like that at all. Eggplant taste like dirt.
I am so jealous of you if you like the stuff. Blessings on you.
