Answer 4

my new absolute favorite dish is eggplant parmesan - it's fun to make, not all that hard, & so impressive & delicious! take a few small eggplants, peel, & slice into 1/4-1/2 inch slices. put into a strainer in layers to drain, salting each layer, & let sit for awhile (you may need to press them with paper towels to get more of the water out). fill a skillet about 1/2-inch full with vegetable oil. dip each eggplant slice into beaten egg, then into a mix of seasoned bread crumbs & parmesan cheese, & fry in the oil til golden brown on both sides; remove to paper towels to drain.

once you've fried all the eggplant slices, to assemble the dish, spread a thin layer of your favorite tomato sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. put down a layer of eggplant, cover with tomato sauce, & sprinkle lots of mozzarella cheese on top. repeat with a second or third layer if necessary til you've used up the eggplant. bake at like 375 for maybe 20 minutes or so, til it's heated through & the cheese is slightly browned on top.

this probably sounds like a lot of overwhelming directions, but it's REALLY fun & not too hard, i'm an amateur cook myself! i like to serve this over spaghetti with garlic bread & salad; i always get raves!

if you want a dessert, here's a ridiculously easy one: no-bake cheesecake! mix together 2 8-oz packages of softened cream cheese, 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, & 1 tsp vanilla until lumps are gone. pour into graham cracker or oreo crust (you can buy one from the store, or make your own by crushing up some grahams or cookies & mixing with enough melted butter so it's crumbly & can be pressed into a pan). let set in the freezer or fridge for a few hours & voila! it's so good :-)
