1bassoon Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 OK, folks I kid you not. That's an eggplant. My three-year old is sleeping with it. I did. not. stage. this. photo. We don't like eggplant. We don't even EAT eggplant. She's been asking for one for three days. So this morning - I bought her one. Best $1.50 I ever spent. Eggie has been to a birthday party, for a walk in a stroller, put nite-nite in a crib, and now this. Made my day!!! :lol: Quote

HSMom2One Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I just love that age, don't you? Shhhhh! Blessings, Lucinda Quote
MMinMN Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 So cute! (But what happens when Eggie starts to...um...deteriorate?) Quote
percytruffle Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 So sweet! Eggplants are nice and soft and smooth and cuddly. I think a snuggle with an eggplant must be rather nice! Quote
teamturner Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Cuteness! Do you have any doll clothes that would fit it? Or that may mess up the sweet simplicity of an eggplant buddy. Quote
camibami Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 :D I just love this! It made my night, and also made me want an other kid so we can have age 3 again. So, so sweet an age. Quote
michaeljenn Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Love it! This will be one of those photos/moments that ya'll will laugh at years from now!! Do ya'll watch Veggie Tales???? Or, maybe it is just the nice cold feeling of the eggplant on a hot summer day that is soothing. What are you going to do when it starts to rot? :lol::lol:;) Quote

We're on our second round of them - they don't have an eggplant, do they? Oh, man - I had NOT thought about the "disintegration" of our dear friend. Sigh. Maybe I'll buy a new one each day and switch it. Or - more likely - in 24 hours she'll be on to something else new and unusual. This kid's a hoot, that's for sure! I've had a tough week. The Lord knew I needed a laugh! Quote
Kathleen in VA Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 There's a children's picture book in this somewhere - I can just feel it. So very cute. Quote
1bassoon Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 There's a children's picture book in this somewhere - I can just feel it. So very cute. Or maybe a catchy blog title? I've been toying with blogging lately. . . . Quote
Paintedlady Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 That's darling! A keeper for the scrap book for sure. Reminds of the time I bought a small crate of oranges. My kids started taking them out and drawing all kinds of faces on them and playing games with them. I think they ruined over half of them b/c they played with them for about 3 days. Bunch of weirdos! :lol: Quote
gandpsmommy Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 That's so funny. I love little kids! Do you know where she got the idea? Have you read a book lately that had an eggplant in it? Quote
orangearrow Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 :001_wub: How cute is that?? lol Sometimes, it's the simple things.... :p Quote
Amy in Orlando Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 OK - that made my entire day! Thank you and your daughter and the eggplant. Quote
Brigitte Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Who says little kids don't like vegetables?! That is too cute. I love the fact that it went to the birthday party. Quote
mcconnellboys Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I'm thinkin' this is a Veggie Tales kid, LOL! Quote
Cindy in the NH Woods Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 We always had to make sure she was not around when I got around to...umm... cutting it up. (I tried to make sure a replacement squash was available.) Cindy Quote
1bassoon Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 Eggplant went to church with us! I guess I'm a baaaaad Mommy, but eggplant went to church. Thankfully, it's a big church, so most people probably just thought I let her carry it home after someone gave it to us. . . . Little did they know - :D Quote

Lisa at Home Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 It is deeee-lish! Baba Ganouj From: Scott David Gray 4 Medium-small eggplants Juice from two lemons 1 cup tahini 6 cloves of garlic 1 cup finely chopped parsley 2 teaspoons of salt 1/2 cup finely minced scallions Black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil Cut off and throw out the stem-ends of the eggplants. Prick the eggplants all over with a fork. Place them directly on an oven rack (preheated to 400 degrees), and roast them slowly until they pop (about 45 minutes). When they are sagging, wrinkled, crumpled and totally soft, they are ready. Remove them from the oven and wait for them to cool enough to handle. Scoop out the insides and mash them. Combine will all other ingredients except the olive oil. Chill completely. Drizzle olive oil on just before serving. Serves: 12 (with pita) Preparation time: 90 min (prepare a day in advance) Quote
astrid Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 OMG that is SO funny! How adorable....... "My eggplant, my friend!" HOW FUNNY!!!! I"m cracking up! Hugs, Astrid Quote
Doran Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 That's priceless!!! What, was she some Italian chef in a former life? Please frame one of those for her to take to college! :D Quote
Michelle My Bell Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 You should sew up a soft plush eggplant toy to replace the real one with. Michelle Quote
