UGH!  WTH was I thinking.  I cut the damn skins off and ended up with slugs.  The flavor was amazing the larger slices could still be eaten!  I will definately try the eggplant fries again.

So.... I made these last night and I ate an entire eggplant by myself.  yes I did!  These fries are so great!  I made a few modifications to the recipe.  I used Simply Organic's "garlic n' herb" and their "dill" instead of the paprika (because I didnt have any at home)...and I nixed the lemon. I will be making these again, and again, and again (ok, you get the point!)!
