I just made some yummy Eggplant Parm for dinner tonight. A couple days ago my grandma brought over 4 small Chinese eggplants (the long skinny ones). I couldn't do a stuffed eggplant parm like I wanted, nor a layered one like a lot of people do. The pieces were so small I had to mix the sauce and cheese in, kind of like baked ziti. It was still pretty yummy.

OH! This morning (Monday morning, I guess) there was a fire at brother's work! I guess, one of their machines broke down and one of the guys went into the house (their office is in an old farmhouse on the property) to pee and came back telling a manager he smelled smoke. He went and checked it out and came back in yelling "THE BARN'S ON FIRE!". (on a lighter note: one of the guys thought he said "A BIRD'S ON FIRE!" LOL) They went out to try and put it out while 3 different guys called 911. Luckily it was just the barn where they store boxes and bags and things, so it wasn't really TOO big a loss. They got to come home early. I keep joking with brother that he started it so he could come home and take a nap, since that's what he did. They aren't sure what started it, but the workers are pretty sure it was the garage door motor b/c before the fire departments got there the door came slamming down on it's own. They go back tomorrow, so only one lost day of work. Here's a vid from the 6 o'clock news:
