Recipe of the Week: Grilled Japanese Eggplant with Citrus Miso Sauce

I'm in that place my heart longs for all the time... good old San Francisco. Last night Kerry hosted a delicious dinner for me, Amy and Christine in her newly purchased loft in SOMA. The place looks incredible and the food was wonderful. Kerry cooked 'Suzi Food' for us. It's nice to feel the comforts of 'home'!

In addition to some red quinoa and an asian stir fry of bok choy, crimini mushrooms and snap peas - all fresh from the farmers market - Kerry whipped up this recipe she got off foodnetwork.com. I love it and can't wait to make it!
