I am talking about rebels here.
A rebel eggplant.
Trying to break away from the crowd; make his own way in the world.
He is screaming: “don’t cage me in!” {yes, it is loud in my garden}
Don’t tell him, but he is actually making his way to my kitchen. Very soon.
Eggplant; the other white meat.
On second thought, perhaps I won’t eat that particular rebellious eggplant, he might be too tuff tough for me.
Should I give him the Busy Bee presidential pardon?
You know I have never, ever tasted eggplant! You'll have to keep us posted on what you do with this beauty! Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteif only you had tucked him back into the garden before he became too big for his britches!! (or too big to fit back through the fence!) no presidential pardon. won't be fair to the others :)
ReplyDeletehaha! I'd go with the pardon. He needs to be rewarded for those efforts to remain pure to his heart! (...but then again, eggplant is awfully yummy!)
ReplyDeleteNO PARDON! Eat him! But invite me to dinner...
ReplyDeleteWell, that rebel eggplant looks delicious - he better watch out!
ReplyDeletethis made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteI've never had eggplant either. You'll have to keep us informed of his fate ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't take that, Suz! Teach him who's the boss!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be an honor for him to grace your plates, and then your tummies. It's his vegetable life-destiny...unless you'd prefer to photograph and immortalize him. Either way, he will fulfill his green & purple life cycle as nature intended. Just call me the veggie philosopher!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it deserves a pardon, but I'd consider some Parmesan cheese.
ReplyDeleteEggplant is a really popular dish in the part of CHina where I lived, but I could never get used to it. It looks so healthy but...nope. Can't do it. I say pardon!
ReplyDeleteMr Eggplant needs an AWARD.... He 'stepped out of his box' --and wasn't afraid to make his own road.... He's a leader and not a follower..... He may be our next President... Ya think????
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
He had his moment in the sun, so now I say it's TIME TO EAT!
ReplyDeleteHello Suz! I've missed you. I'm finally getting back to visit my old friends.
ReplyDeleteI see you have been busy (oh, busy bee)!
I hope to get all caught up and back to reading what you're up to. Hope the kids, the husband the dogs are all doing well.
No pardons. I think he needs to be eaten...but you can sing "Don't Fence Me In" every time you tend to him as he gets bigger. : )
ReplyDeleteI WUV that eggplant :)
ReplyDeleteI actually took a picture this afternoon of my own "garden" to share, so this made me laugh! I probably won't get around to MY post, though. :(
ReplyDeleteI say give him a pardon. Then again, that's cuz I HATE eggplant! Ugh, how can anyone EAT it?!?! tee hee hee...
Nope, no pardon. Eat him with special enjoyment. That is, if he survives the animals you so carefully fenced out to protect him.
ReplyDeleteHa!
ReplyDeleteLove the little eggplant rebel child.
Cut him lovingly, create a delicious recipe with him carefully and then rejoice in his wanderlust that led him to your plate.
What a totally cute post, Suz!
To the guillotine and off with his head I say!
ReplyDeleteIf he has some seeds definately plant them!!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my silkworms...they cannot crawl but a few inches to the leaves they are fed- and the moths cannot fly. BUT two years ago I took some eggs from a teacher who had yellow silk worms...and mixed them with my interbreeding white ones....and last year when my silkworm eggs hatched I had supercrawlers....and when they emerged from the coccoons there were a few flyers!! Now that's a first. So I am guessing if you plant those seeds you will have a whole bunch of rebel eggplants!!
I made a fabulous eggplant parmesan last night with roasted eggplant. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteEggplant is my favorite vegetable--mmm, mmm.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE eggplant! I am so jealous of your garden right now! Now that you've made me very hungry for eggplant something or other, I will wish you a happy Thursday! XX
ReplyDeleteoh em gee... busy bee, that eggplant looks like... a pair of... um...
ReplyDeletewell, LOOK at it!
LOL LOL!
"white meat" indeed :-D
Nah, fry em up...you have to stand up for yourself you know
ReplyDeleteI say Free the Eggplant! Let him LIVE! He deserves liberty after that amazing escapology. It's the veggie equivalent of Escape from Alcatraz.
ReplyDeleteDon't fence him in.
Don't eat him.
Don't cut him down.
I say update us weekly on his progress, let him live and enjoy his life on the other side.
Let him have his moment in the sun.
Vive l'aubergine.
:-)
Wow, that is a bad egg.. plant. But I'll bet he tastes good after all.
