In from the garden:
. . . and onto the plate:
If only I had onions and garlic ready to go in the garden! Everything else in today’s ratatouille came from ten feet outside my back door and went from plant to plate in a matter of hours. Bliss.
And, no, I haven’t seen that movie; I actually had some fantastic ratatouille from the French Meadow Bakery a couple of weeks ago, and have been itching to make my own ever since. I would have rather used a red pepper, but those’re still in the process of turning red outside, so I grabbed a yellow-y green one instead. I thought I might as well chuck in the beans, which wound up being for the best. The firmer bite went really well with the softer zucchini and eggplant.
Can you believe tomorrow’s August already? Who allowed that to happen?

Anna, the pictures of your garden veggies and your post about making ratatouille inspired me to make it for the first time. Thanks!
