Eggplant gratin

I found the recipe Here

Ingrédients

3 Tbs. olive oil
2 eggplants
3 tomatoes
1 lb. Mozzarella
Basil
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 can of whole tomatoes

Here's a great easy recipe for those who love melted cheese and a little less vegetables ...
Grease the pan with the olive oil, cut the eggplnats alongside, the tomatoes and the mozzarela in 1/2 inch slices. Broil the eggplants on a rack, two to four minutes on each side. Line the pan with one layer of eggplant, add salt an pepper, and a bit of oil, then line the eggplant with slices of tomatoes, then mozzarella, then basil leaves, and start again.
Take the canned tomatoes, pour the juice on the sides of the pan, and some of the tomatoes. You can keep the remaining tomatoes for another preparation. Season the top layer, ad oil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Serve hot.

Maxine wears a size 7 shoe and these fit her as an ankle length sock. These stretch a little to fit over the heel.
To make larger you can either use a larger hook or you can add a few stitches in the rounds. (instead of 28 stitches you could have 32 sts or whatever will fit) (you can do this by increasing the number of sts in the 4th round or adding another increase sc round.)
You can also add a few rounds in the body of the sock to increase the length of the sock. these are comfortible to wear and stay on your feet when you sleep.
