just for fun... "eggplant babies"

one of the mamas in the birth announcement board posted this recipe and said she went into labor 4 hours later. It looks a little silly BUT also yummy.  I had fun looking at the baby pics and stories.. Anyone want to do an eggplant parmesan attempt with me tomorrow?  <:-P

Re: just for fun... &quot;eggplant babies&quot;

  • I was looking at that too. Haha. Except that would mean another trip to the grocery store.. And I just went today. Ugh. 40 weeks + 4 year old + grocery store = no fun. lol

  • hee hee! I know the list is seriously exhaustive. I wonder if I did the frozen eggplant cutlets from trader joe's if it would retain its mystical properties? how are you feeling miss @adelems
  • Yes! I love eggplant Parmesan and I'm 40 +4 weeks today, so I'm ready! Is there a specific recipe? Maybe I missed it...
  • there's a download recipe link, initial link to stories & such in original post

    @elizalegs hanging in there! Ready to have my baby of course :) but I feel pretty good considering.

    How about you?
  • I tried it, didn't work for me.. but I still enjoyed the hell out of it!
  • I would if someone would shop for me, cook for me, and clean up! :-) anyone wanna send me leftovers?
  • My hubby cooked me eggplant Parmesan for dinner and I went into labor at 5am the next day! Little one was born at 7:21pm

    Yeah I just got to the seriously grumpy stage myself. I do feel good too - uncomfortable but not like miserable. However I am so tired of reading into every little body sense I have. Also it's weird I have stopped drinking water at night - I used to wake up like raging thirsty and now I am fine. I wonder what gives? Thus I have to pee less too, plus the other night I was sleeping on my stomach - I woke up panicked thinking I had delivered the baby and forgotten! haha

    I heard it's the spices in the eggplant ( oregano and basil) not actually the eggplant that might cause some people to go into labor. So the frozen cutlets should work. Then again I made my own italian pasta dish with loads of fresh basil this week and no labor here yet!!
    (39 wks 4 days)
  • Trying this tomorrow!! Lent friendly and I'll be 41 weeks... Fingers crossed!!
  • well i followed the recipe to a "T" tonight (except I couldn't resist adding extra garlic and some red wine to the sauce... my husband is French so we basically reek of garlic 24/7).. We will see! Never underestimate the power of the placebo effect. But it was REALLY yummy!
