Please accept my apologies for a repost today. This week is state testing here in NY and my mind is officially burnt.
Ratatouille Omelette and a Trip Down Memory Lane
I don't want to tell you how many times we would go in the fridge and steal spoonfuls of his incredible chocolate chip mousse.
Then there were the late nights when he would feed all of us after the restaurant closed at midnight. It was a heady experience for a high school student to be sitting around the communal table enjoying what Jose whipped up for us. One big family with Brigitte at the head of the table.
One of my favorites was a ratatouille omelette. Never before and never since have I had one made quite so well.
But last night when I was walking home from work (and starving because I'd had only a few mouthfuls of lunch), I decided to do my own version with some leftover summer veggies.
I didn't have any eggplant (and didn't think to buy any).
Mine wasn't Jose's but it was pretty darn tasty.
I'll let the pictures tell the story.

| Wonderful summer vegetables. I love the colors!!! |
 |
| Added some oregano, basil, and garlic. |
And then tonight, when I got home after a late church meeting, I had the leftover ratatouille on some leftover Italian bread with garlic and cheese.

| Sorry the picture isn't more clear. I was hungry! |
But now I want some of that heavenly chocolate mousse!
I hear you on the fried brain. Been gone from SD for a week and currently waiting fir my connecting flight in Minneapolis. The first flight was SOooo early and I might actually nap the 2 flight. It is almost 2 hours long! Isn't it great how veggies make a plain yellow egg look so pretty. Spring like. Good luck getting through this week! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time you shared this recipe! I meant to try it, but never did. I did buy an eggplant, though, and used it for a couple other recipes!
ReplyDeleteTime to buy another eggplant!
I bet I would love this! I need to try it sometime, Mary Cate. Thanks for sharing again!
