An Eggplant Explosion

Re: “Smashing Eggplants” (Aug. 22). This happened to me, too! As a middle-aged housewife transformed to working woman, I missed some of those fun, creative cooking sessions. So one three-day holiday I decided to cook up a storm. I put the eggplant in the oven to roast while I started a different dish.
After an hour I peeked in and that eggplant looked as firm as a football. Startled, I reached in and touched it. There was an eggplant explosion. I not only had a dirty oven, there was eggplant spattered on the cabinets across from the oven. Some bits had made it into the dining area, on chair backs. Instead of cooking fun, that holiday was spent on the top rung of my stepstool, while my husband guided me in washing eggplant off the ceiling.
Sprazzo on Westwood Boulevard presents a tiny eggplant dish, along with marvelous warm bread while you are studying the menu. Great stuff.
