Other than the eggplant nervousness, though, it sounds really good.
I picked up a book on "Traveling Dyshes" at Landsknecht - basically, it's a book of redacted period recipes that are simple and easy and suitable for things like potlucks or camping situations (Pennsic, for instance). I am hoping (once things settle down a bit) to start experimenting with some of the dishes as dinner meals for my family just in the normal course of things. My purpose is two-fold: 1) I would get experience with different recipes, so I would know which ones worked and which ones I like, so the next time I need to bring something to a potluck, or figure out a menu for a camping weekend or whatever, I can do it in a period manner, and 2) (almost more importantly) the little boys would have a chance to become familiar with some of these things, and with medieval cooking in general, and so would have an easier time at feasts and the like.
