Eggplant Disaster or a Genius Creation?

One of my dear readers tortured me with a picture of her delicious homemade eggplant lasagna (with homemade sauce I might add!), and I decided to make one too. Now, like the risk taker I am, armed with no recipe (and no, that is not a synonym for lazy), I eagerly bought all my ingredients for eggplant lasagna too! I assembled all the ingredients, made my homemade sauce, and created a delicious looking dish that weighs easily ten pounds! I even sprinkled parsley over the top, to add a pop of color on the brown cheese. Now, I made this tonight, and I am going to bake it tomorrow. The only problem? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK EGGPLANT!!! After I assembled the wonderfully aromatic lasagna, I decided to look up how to make an eggplant lasagna - and do you know what I discovered? You're suppose to cook/bake/salt the eggplant ahead of time to rid it of moisture and bitterness! So, dear readers, tomorrow, I may have a bitter, runny mess of a lasagna, and do you know who I have to thank? THE DEAR READER WHO SENT ME A PICTURE OF HER EGGPLANT LASAGNA WITH NO RECIPE ATTACHED! THANKS A LOT READER! I'LL REMEMBER THIS NEXT TIME, WHEN YOU ARE DROOLING OVER SOME DISH I MADE AND ARE DISASTROUSLY TRYING TO RECREATE IT WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS! AND I'LL LAUGH! DEAR READER! But, I will still eat my lasagna, regardless of how it tastes or turns out, because I am a pig, and like any pig, I need to maintain my piggish weight with whatever food is nearby. Anyhoo, I probably won't give you an update on how the lasagna turns out, and there will be no picture, for anyone who is curious enough to want to know. Good night, and good eating, my dear readers.
