eat, watch, eat what you watch


We've had a ton of people to feed in the last two days including our own At whose Boss Day it was yesterday. There was a big and beautiful summer ratatouille (I hope it was made by a rat, EM said!). But Boss Day for At is more about the entertainment than the food though. So, At sat us down for a family viewing of Caché (excellent) and then we went to see Trap at the movies (fun). 

But back to the food. I'd offered to make Poori because a pregnant friend was craving them... although I'd never made them before. I read a ton of recipes and watched some YouTube videos, but somehow, when it was time to fry them up... Big A and AS seem to have taken over (Pic).

Homemade poori is impressive. How did they turn out?

Mmmm ratatouille! It's so good. Even better with friends and family.

Nice.

Steph--The first batch was exciting but came out a bit crispy and crumbly. I made another batch by myself that was soft and perfectly puffed up... but I have to work on my rolling technique, they were square instead of round.

Nance--Yes. With lots of silly ratatouille jokes.

Gillian--THanks!

I know people love the movie Ratatouille, but I was always really, really, really grossed out by it. LOL. Obviously we do not make jokes about rodents making our food! (Honestly, it sort of turned me off ratatouille, too. Hmmm...I need to do some soul-searching on this.)

Oh no! When you put it like that, it does sound disgusting though! How about "Racacoonie" from _Everything, Everywhere, and All At Once_? :)

just look up
