This is one of my favorite all time dishes and I'm making lots of it against a cold February too. My favorite local farm has gorgeous eggplants for .50 cents a piece. I make mine differently than you, but isn't that the true magic of all earthy peasant food: that we can each make essentially the same dish but tweaked specifically to our tastes and our locale? I peel skins for canning projects, but I never peel tomato skin for cooking. I don't see them either. You speak my language lady.

I can't say enough about growing your own eggplants, Kelly. I've grown 'Ichiban' for the past few years and they are wonderful--not too big, not bitter, not very seedy. (Even when I "miss" one or two and don't harvest them until they're a foot or so long.) They grow on the east side of my house and are shaded by tall grasses on top of that, so you wouldn't have to worry about growing them in less than full sun.

Sorry about the headache. Hee, when you said "flashes of red" I was like "Oh no! Migraine!" Glad it wasn't. Next year, can you tell me what tomato plants to get and when? Thank you.

Glad it wasn’t.

Next year, can you tell me what tomato plants to get and when? Thank you.

Just accommodating. Now I don't mind the skin, but seeds get me a little freaked. A few okay, but a lot? Arsenic & Old Lace. Heh, not lazy! Just accommodating.

My sauce is full of seeds and I like it that way. Call me lazy, but I wouldn’t have bothered seeding the tomatoes. My sauce is full of seeds and I like it that way.
