3. Eggplant Pasta:
one half cup of diced eggplant
one package of tomato flavored ramen noodles
about a dozen cherry tomatoes

boil all ingredients in a pan on medium high in order to get
done before judging

 

4. Eggplant Dessert:
one slice of eggplant for everyone who is eating
about one cup of brown sugar
sour cream

boil the eggplant in a simple syrup made with about three
quarters of a cup of brown sugar and just enough water to
cover everything.
place the boiled eggplant slice on a plate, top with a
generous spoonful of sour cream, and sprinkle the remaining
brown sugar on top.

Serving: the first three dishes were put on paper plates together
so that the seafood dishes could be mixed with the pasta dish.
Dessert was on a separate plate
