Eggplant is popular in most regions of the Southern United States. Thomas Jefferson, was the first to experiment with several types of eggplant in his Virginia garden, and it was he who introduced eggplant to The United States. Of Asian origins, the first types ended up being extremely sour tasting, but through cultivation and crossbreeding the flavor has greatly improved.

Conversation, laughter, teasing and good food are some of what I remember about Sunday dinners when I was a child. I also remember the meals. I have always loved food even as a child. As with any child I didn’t always love what was good for me but the sit down dinners began my love affair with a wide variety of foods and tastes.
My Mom was not a gourmet cook. A lot of times the food was not what I would call out of the ordinary. But it was always plentiful and favorable. Lots to go around and filling. She wasn’t afraid to try new items, flavors or recipes she found in books. Lots and lots of cookbooks!

That in itself is a great idea. He bought so much pork that we will be eating it for some time to come. He decided he would only make a half recipe as he wasn’t sure if we were going to like it or not. As it turned out it was a good idea to make only half as it was not a great first effort on his part as all you could taste was a very strong pork. God love him he ate it all as the rest of us had a hard time with it. Although to give our kids credit they never told him how bad it tasted.
