not to send this thread soaring into another direction (but that is what we do best, isn't it.)

But. I'd like to make a dish for a girls' tv night- 2 vegetarians, 2 carnivores. My idea is to do some sort of baked dish, like a lasagna/or parmesan thing. Maybe some kind of eggplant parmesan on one side of the caserole dish/chicken on the other.
Anyway, something I can make half and half.
My favorite is eggplant. Anybody want to share a good idea and recipe with me? Or maybe we shoudl just start a recipe thread over in general...
