Recipe(tried): just enough eggplant caponata (CP)

Misc.
[maybe this is too much for somepeople, but i made 1 crockette full and stuck it in everythng for a week! scrambled eggs, atop pork chops, even in an orzo salad. it's a change from salsas. NOTE: contrary to most eggplant directions, i see no practical purpose in washing the salt off and then drying the bloody thing, when you just tried to drain the water out of it and are only gonna add salt to the recipe anyway.]
