I buy a box of frozen breaded eggplant and fry each side (still frozen) in extra virgin olive oil for about 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp. Pat it dry and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Put it in a baking dish and spread a couple tablespoons of spaghetti sauce on each piece and then cover with a couple slices of mozzarella cheese. Then just serve the tortellini with the leftover sauce or with a little olive oil and garlic.
You can use fresh eggplant too, but I haven't done that in so long I forgot how. I think I remember soaking it in milk for a few minutes before breading it.

What's to be embarrassed about?
They are having fun...plain old fun...have you forgotten what that is? It should not embarrass anyone. You need to lighten up a little, you take yourself way to seriously dear.
Now I'm embarrassed because SM
I don't have any that I know of. I just figured it was a website of theirs that I would log into. So, do I need to have an FTP account and access their work via their host name, id name, and password?
Thank you for offering to help! I sooo appreciate it and will check back soon.

I'm too embarrassed to say (sm)
how much I am making and how long it takes me to make it. I work much longer hours to get less than I used to make at an outside job with benefits. Price for being at home for me though. You'd best believe you won't hear me broadcasting my salary though.
embarrassed ... not embarresed ... :)

I know perfectly well that some of them are embarrassed about this sm
I can't tell you how many times I will get an ESL and they practically whisper into the phone when they speak to me, but seem normal volume if they break to talk to those around them.
I have to think that some of them are told...okay so you pick up the phone and some gal is listening on the other end...she'll help clean up your English for you, don't worry about it.
They are talking to a STRANGER who will help them out with their English...okay so a stranger is listening and will judge their English skills. I would be really embarrassed to be in another foreign country and think that someone I didn't know was listening and fixing me up to be acceptable. I think I'd mumble too.
I have had a couple of ESLs in a situation where I could ask my office manager to call over to the practice and ask that the ESL speak louder, not more clearly, just up the volume. If I can hear them, I can understand them better. The last time, I told the office manager to make it clear that I could not HEAR this fellow and NOT that I could not understand him. That would have been an insult to say that. Well, he started to speak up and was very pleased (he called in) to say that his reports suddenly started being so perfect. Yup, I could not hear you, but I could understand you.
This is not the only mumbler.
The only other thing that think we as MTs need to understand, and our employers with us, is that not all of us can do every ESL type. I can do an East Indian of most dialects, Arabs, English, German, Spanish, Mexican, but I don't do Asians well. Not all ESLs are created equal and not all of us ears for the same things. I think in the future there will have to more ways to route jobs with ESLs to MTs with the right ear for each of them.
Should be spelled and embarrassed. Where are you QAing?

You aren't alone. I am frequently mortified and embarrassed by commercials.
Pepto-Bismol's little song, Charmin, that Tampax commercial..ugh!
When I was a child I used to wonder what Preparation H was for because the advertisements never really said. I wish that was still the case!
