Thanks for the additional info -- though what I really wanted was the directions so MrsLee and I can show up for dinner! However, my DH probably wouldn't be too keen on the idea, so I guess I'll just have to make it myself.

Also -- I need some help on the prep here. I've been salting the eggplant then putting it paper towels with heavy stuff on top to get out the excess moisture -- but too much salt seems to be "soaking in." We don't eat salt (DH has HBP), so it takes very little salt to taste "salty" to us. I guess I'll just start "weighing it down" without putting any salt on it. I haven't had time to buy kosher salt, since I understand it doesn't "soak in" as much.

Any tips on this?

You can salt the eggplants, weigh them down and let them drain, then rinse the salt out. The salting leaches out the water and changes the cellular structure of the eggplant such that when you rinse them back off again afterwards (to get the excess salt off) they won't just suck the water you use to rinse them back up.
