I love the tomato, Basil, Fresh Mozzarella, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)! I grow tomatoes and it works great with red and yellow ones!

Inspired by the new movie, I thought I'd try a dish I have never had; Ratatouilli. I hit the net, looked at several recipes (cripes, there are many ways to make this dish!). Traditionally, it is a meatless stew of sorts, so I stuck with that concept. The movie had it more as a veggie dish than a stew, but also getting all the ingredients to be the same size circles would be nearly impossible anyway.

So, I took the best ideas from several recipes, and went for it. That's the way I work, I look at a bunch of recipes, take the ideas I like, alter the ingredients for what ever reason (what I have on hand or can easily get, cost, ease or time, or picky eaters at my house and leave out offending ingredients).

It turned out wonderfully! I need to write down what I did. If anyone wants the recipe- let me know.
