Eggplant Rice Hot Pot

….I got some eggplants as the last harvest of the year from my garden today. I was happy with the vegetables that hung beautifully during the summer. I was thinking about them for a while, and then I decided to make an eggplant rice pot. It needs only a few ingredients, but I added some meat for my husband who likes meat. We really liked the flavor of the lightly fried eggplant. My husband and I didn’t know if we would scrape to the bottom of the pot. The eggplants tasted very sweet, soft, and satisfying. Making and sharing food make me always happy. I have to take good care of my health so that I can share this joy. I finished the day with many thanks.
