Inspiration from a Rat

I love food. I LOVE FOOD. I love movies that involve food, books, magazines, TV channels, Shows. I guess I am a Foodie. Its almost 5 am and I am watching Julie and Julia and I can't help but fall in love with everything I see. I have dreams of going to culinary school. I love cooking for people. At any rate, I left off writing to long ago and after being questioned by my mom and grandmother every time I go home I knew I needed to get going again.

I have been crazy about zucchini and eggplant for years now. And after Watching Ratatouille I wanted to make it. And at some point I will. But I was reading Rachel Ray's magazine and I found Ratatouille Grilled Panini. It was sort of a undertaking. I being the dork that I am didnt look at the cook time and the veggies needed to soak in water for 40 min! At any rate I had no idea what Herbs de Provence is, let alone where to find it, so I didnt use it. Mistake. Upon using the ever faithful google, I found out it is a spice mixture. YUM! Any way I decided not to grill the sandwiches because they were huge! After digging my way out of a billion sliced veggies I put together what might be one of the yummyest things I have tasted. It was how ever missing something. Olives, olive paste or something like it. Even still, It was delightful! Crusty bread and a perfect mix of vegetables.

Happy Dining!
