Warning: This isn't really a full-blown post. I just feel the need to take a moment to celebrate the wonder that is ratatouille. To be completely honest, I never even knew what ratatouille was until Pixar enlightened me, and even then, it didn't exactly tickle my pickle. (Was anyone else disappointed that Remy made soup of all things for the critic? Access to all kinds of Parisian cuisine, and he makes soup???) It just wasn't terribly exciting.
Well, I was paging through my mom's copy of French Women Don't Get Fat by Mireille Guilianno (which I permanently borrowed years ago), and came across a super easy looking recipe for ratatouille. What the hell, I thought. Why not?
It turns out that ratatouille is incredible. There's not much to it, but I was looking forward to lunch today because I knew we had leftovers. If you like eggplant, garlic, and tomatoes, give it a shot. The recipe I made used a crock pot, so all I had to do was chop up vegetables, and forget about them for four hours while I went and took a nap (seriously, that's what I did). If you know of an easier, healthy recipe that is actually good, let me know. In the meantime, I pledge my allegiance to ratatouille.
