I received this funny note today from subscriber, Katie E. of New Hampshire:
Hi Aviva,
I thought you’d enjoy this little anecdote. We prepared the eggplant parmesan a week or two ago. I was serving them up from the pan, using a spatula, as the kids walked by on the way to the table. When they asked “What’s for supper?”, my husband jumped in with “Italian pancakes.” My 8 yr old daughter was very intrigued and her eyes lit up. They dove in to trying it and decided it was pretty good. Later the 8yr old asked if it was maybe really eggplant (which she generally likes), so we owned up and she happily finished it up. The 5 yr old isn’t as thrilled with eggplant, but she managed to finish hers too. I think we’ll continue to call this recipe “Italian pancakes”, to differentiate it from our other (easier) eggplant parmesan recipe.
