I haven't made eggplant parm in awhile and it was a treat. I like to keep the sauce separate until the last to preserve the eggplant's crispiness. Delicious! I am grateful for the chance to make and eat such a satisfying meal.

The Frosty Caboose is a Chamblee classic that I have visited for many years, including yesterday. I asked the proprietor how long the Caboose had been in operation and she told me that today would be its fifteenth anniversary. Congratulations and thank you for years of memories!

Tasty, nourishing, satisfying, friendly, and convenient. How can you beat that? Thanks, folks!
