mmmmm... eggplant

I am trying to eat more eggplant and asparagus. Not necessarily together, mind you, but I am trying to develop a more well-informed opinion on them both because I never really ate either growing up. Last night I went over to Stacey-from-work's house and, yes, there was eggplant. It appeared in the form of tasty, little rolls filled with cheese and drizzled with red sauce. She told me they had a fun name like "rolltinis" (teehee), but i think she might have made it up. They accompanied fabulous sandwiches of marinated, grilled turkey (gotta get me a stove-top grill pan - WOW), granny smith apples and brie, which Stacey calls "the cheese of my childhood." (i think she had a slightly different childhood than me...) Totally yumtastic and yet another way for me to enjoy eggplant. Thanks, Stacey!

Two things...i would have totally tried that turkey sandwich (i know, a shocker) and rollatini is totally a word cause Steve made some for V-day-except with chicken, ham, and cheese.....
