We also went to get this weeks box out at the farm yesterday and it was as usual full of veggies that were familiar and some not so familiar. This week we got salad, cucumbers(slicing and eating), more squash than i have any idea what to do with(squash fritters, bread maybe), potatoes(boiled with butter parsley, garlic and basil), green beans(i like them raw), the prettiest onions ever, basil and the sweetest, cutest baby fairytale eggplants. These i have not ideas for, i am stumped! Any ideas for what to do with eggplant without breading and frying it?

I'm intrigued--I've heard a lot about that book. I'll have to check it out.
Those cookies look de-lish! I'm gonna have to track me down some zukes :)K
zucchini cookies? i've never heard of that...sounds interesting...will have to try the recipe. don't like eggplant, sorry i can help you with that.
yes yes, zucchini cookies sounds great! i have three huge zucchinis on the counter waiting to be used up. i finally ate the last piece of the chocolate cake ( i made two and put one in the fridge). love this book so much i bought two, one to share and one to keep on hand at all times. looks like you got a nice box from your farm! no ideas on the eggplant, sorry.\
:)
Spicy Chickpea Stew in that WW cookbook...do you have that cb? If not I will send it to you...love the eggplant in this recipe.
I haven't heard of that book, but I loved Poisonwood Bible.
fairytales are great sliced lengthwise and grilled. You can also make a garlic soy glaze (see this recipe that for corn (for this week's share) and substitute the corn for eggplant http://americanfood.about.com/od/saucesdipsanddressings/r/garlsoycorn.htm
and serve them with/over sticky white rice.
Or here's another somewhat similar recipe from another blog. I just love the sauces on the sticky white rice. If you also have bok choi or something like that you could steam it and add it on top of the rice as well. When I lived in Japan this was one of my favorite ways to eat eggplant. Hope you had a great vacation!
oops, forgot to add the last link:
