eggplant parmesan

I have no idea why I decided to make this dish. Probably because I saw a glass baking tray and I figured that I should do something with it. And I decided eggplant parmesan it shall be! ironically, i didn't put parmesan because i realised how incredibly expensive cheeses were. It was $11 for a packet of mozarella cheese, nothing like the price in US!
