Summer Produce

Time for tomatoes! Jason grew this beautiful eggplant and a large grocery bag almost
full of small and medium-sized tomatoes. We ate some for lunch and they were delicious.
Ratatouille with the eggplant, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, and roasted red pepper.
An interpretation of Julia Child’s recipe, which I’ve made many times.

That is a huge and gorgeous eggplant. The chipmunks ate my plants, so eggplants for me. Sad face there. And your ratatouille looks delicious!

Oh wow. I remember when I grew eggplant that large and had to give many of them away. Now I can't grow them because all I have are pots. This looks really good, Mae.

The beautiful ratatouille sent me on a search for the recipe I first used ...Ive made it so often don’t really even look at it any more ...in my loose leaf notebook it’s a torn out page from a paperback cookbook that fell apart ages ago ... called “Recipes I have Known and Loved” by Jane Brody. I do now wonder how it differs from yours (formerly Julia’s )). ... . We are currently experimenting with different recipes for watermelon salad ... kind of like ratatouille, there are probably a million recipes with infinite variations possible. Gotta’ love this time of year!

That is quite an eggplant! I envy those tomatoes. There's nothing like a good homegrown tomato.
