Cooking instruction summary:

Place the eggplant slices in a large deep bowl or pan. Dissolve the salt in the warm water and pour it over the eggplant. Pour the cold water over it. The eggplant will float so find something to weigh it down- I flip a bowl upside down and place it right on top of the eggplant. Let it stand for 30 minutes.While the eggplant soaks, gather the rest of your ingredients. I like to put everything on a tray so that cooking outside is a little easier because once you start grilling this goes fast! A small bowl for the oil + a brush is helpful. You'll also want to have a clean plate, a spatula, and a spoon for the sauce.Combine the 3 Tablespoons Panko bread crumbs with the 2 teaspoons olive oil.Heat the grill to about medium.Drain the eggplant and pat it dry. Brush one side with the olive oil, sprinkle with the kosher salt if desired, and place the slices, oil side down, on the hot grill.Cook for a couple minutes- until nice grill marks appear on the side touching the grill. While the eggplant cooks, brush the top with olive oil.FLIP!While the eggplant cooks on the second side, spoon tomato sauce onto each slice.When the second side is done, remove the slices to the clean plate. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese, and then the bread crumbs.Top with the fresh basil, oregano, and shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Food Joke

The inmate on death row was scheduled to be put to death by firing squad the follow morning. Throughout the day, the prison guards were being very nice to him. But when they asked him if he wanted something specific for his last meal, he didn't want anything special. When they asked if there was something special he wanted to do, he said nothing. It went on like this all day. Finally when he was put before the firing squad, the guard asked if he wanted a cigarette and a blindfold. "No," the inmate said, "just get it over with." "Well, is there anything that I can do for you before you go?" said the guard. "You didn't even want a special last meal!" The inmate thought. "Actually," he said, "Music is my life. One thing I would really like would be to sing my favorite song, one whole time through, with no interruptions." The guard nodded and told him to go ahead. The inmate started, "One billion bottles of beer on the wall..."
