Eggplant Parmigiana

I've had some vegetarian requests out there.  there is a reason why God gave us those pointy teeth in our mouths people....To eat meat!  kidding, kidding.  Personally, growing up in a steel mill town, you had 2 main food groups, 1.Meat and 2. Potatoes.  All kidding aside, I do enjoy an occasional vegetarian side dish.  This dish is one made famous not by me, but by many italian immigrants who couldn't afford meat, chicken or fish on a regular basis.  Thanks to all my friends who make requests!

Cheers!
