Eggplant or Aubergine Recipes

In the first couple of years that Mr NQN and I first started going out we didn't entertain much at all. This was because there was no dining table to speak of and any guests had to huddle around a coffee table which really isn't ideal if people are eating with forks and knives.  Mr NQN saw no need to buy a dining table as he was living by himself and all meals were eaten in front of a glowing computer screen. So we never had people over because nobody wants to sit at a table looking like the hunchback of Notre Dame playing tea party.
