Beautiful harvest Pete! I haven't met a vegetable that I don't like, but I am partial to those in your basket. Say, throw a few of those eggplants a way over here! :D

I can honestly say I've never really eaten eggplants before and don't really know what to do with them ... But it sounded like something that I should grow in my garden and they're doing well! :)
Any good eggplant recipes out there? What do they taste like?

Best eggplant dish I've ever had

That recipe is basically a version of eggplant parmesan. It was/ is a popular non-meat sandwich or meal during Lent.
Pete I slice discs about 1/4" thick, paint with EVOO, sprinkle on your favorite seasoning/rub and throw on the grill. Turn when browned, at this time you may place cheese atop to melt. Very tasty!
Eggplants take on the flavors of what they are surrounded by. Very versatile can be cook a variety of ways.

Skinned, sliced, flour, egg wash, bread crumbs then fried to a golden brown.....delicious with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on right out of the fry. ;)

****** Mike's Deli Famous Eggplant Parmigiana - Dave Grecco ****** from NYC
Oil
2 large eggplants
All-purpose flour
4 eggs
Bread crumbs, add garlic and romano or parmesan, oregano, basil
1 quart marinara sauce
8 ounces sliced dry mozzarella
4 ounces grated Romano
Preheat oven to 350º and heat oil in a large pan, Dutch oven or deep-fryer.
Peel the eggplant and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Coat each side of the eggplant with the flour. In a separate bowl beat 4 eggs and dip the eggplant into the egg to coat both sides. Then take your bread crumbs and do the same to coat each side.
Once the oil is hot, put the eggplant in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. You can also use a deep-fryer and leave in for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Once all of the eggplant has been fried, get a rectangular baking pan and start the layering by adding the marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan, dip eggplant in marinara sauce before layering, then layer the eggplant, more sauce, fresh mozzarella, Romano cheese, and continue to layer until you have reached the top of the pan. Top off with sauce, mozzarella, and grated Romano. Place the eggplant into the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
This come out like lasagna and is fabulous. My mom loved it better than the Italian restaurant we have here. A lil labor intensive but worth it. Can be cooked on a grill too. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ
