I woke up at home, but I was still quite woozy.\u00a0 Mary helped me out of bed and got me presentable; I was not allowed to wear my fur.<\/p>\n
Mary kept trying to feed me, but I wasn’t hungry since I had already had a latte from Dunkin’, courtesy of Colleen.<\/p>\n
Colleen went to visit the family since she was out here, and I found out something a bout Mary.\u00a0 When she gets worried, she cooks!\u00a0 Did I say “cooks”?\u00a0 The woman becomes a culinary artist, pastry chef, and a sophisticate, among other terms related to a chef.<\/p>\n
She got out all the machinery and notified the neighbors that there might be a brief power outage once her cooling appliances started up.\u00a0 First, the grinder was used to make itty-bitty pieces out of an overly large zucchini.<\/p>\n
The zucchini-garlic creation was a work of art, and in fact, I filled up on them and only had a taste of the eggplant parmesan.<\/p>\n

Double Yummey!<\/p><\/div>\n
Next came the eggplant, and Mary used a recipe that Paul sent her.\u00a0 It was a load of work, but the results were terrific.<\/p>\n

The water had to be removed, and then the eggplant was breaded.<\/p><\/div>\n
Everything is ready to go into oven to make sure the eggplants arre toasted1<\/p>\n

The dryness helps the eggplant absorb the sauce.<\/p><\/div>\n
Into the oven for about half an hour and voila, bubbling cheese eggplant parmesan!<\/p>\n

It looked too good to eat!!<\/p><\/div>\n
Colleen was out and about most of the day, visiting family, including her mom, over in La Mirada.<\/p>\n
We had dinner, and then I needed some rest, so we went to sleep.\u00a0 This operation took a lot more out of me than I had anticipated.<\/p>\n
