[penguicon-general] 5.0 Wrap up 6.0 hand-off meeting.

with eggplant it is always a good idea to lightly salt them to draw out
some of the water to avoid the soggy eggplant situation.

We've always marinated. Balsamic, olive oil, salt and spices if I
recall. But it was tricky because you can't marinate too long or they
get soggy.

eggplant before, so I can't vouch for how it will turn out... :)

vote eggplant, being kinda creeped out by the texture of mushrooms.
What might be best for that though, would be to set it up earlier, like
an hour or so, with some paper towels and weights on it to drain it out.

    lol,
ya know we probably could do that, although it would involve the extra
step of squeezing the water out of the eggplant slices after they've
been doused with salt for a little bit.  If you would like to bring
eggplant and see how it tastes grilled that way, feel free, but you may
want to get it on the grill before the meat touches it.....

chance there can be brazilian eggplant, too?  (At which point the

vegetarian is willing to kick in money, too...)
