There’s a big store next to my school that I thought was maybe a grocery store. “Smart and Final”? Was it maybe a dollar store?

I stopped after school, and it was a grocery store. Kind of an Aldi-type place – groceries still in their shipping boxes, some brands I haven’t seen before…
They did have a nice produce section. I got some eggplant. I fried it. Yum!

Ooooo…. I would love that place! Your eggplant looks crispy and delicious. Do you eat it plain or with a condiment?
