Eggplant Parmesan

i tried to make eggplant parmesan a few months ago, but when i sliced open the eggplant, it was brown and spotty inside. then i spent 30 minutes looking up pictures of what eggplant is supposed to look like inside. i don't have a lot of experience with eggplant. and no, they are not supposed to look like they're rotting, that means they're rotting.

so this time i used the eggplant within a day of buying them and had better results. the recipe i used is here and i think it turned out great. it was really easy, although it did take a long time to make. i "sweated" the eggplant first as per commenter's suggestions. ryan loved this and said it tasted like something from a restaurant. i guess it depends on the restaurant.
