Following the exploration of yet another farmers market, I set to making dinner with a big bag of summer veggies which screamed to me ratatouille. Following Mark Bittman's simplest ever recipe (chop and layer selected veggies from among eggplant, zucchini, onions of many colors, peppers, tomatoes, herbs, drizzle with olive oil and salt, bake for an hour) I had a full tray of food filling the house with heavy smells WHILE STILL WATCHING THE BABY.
Then we needed cheese for a planned cheesy garlic bread (re Yorkside), and something to do for an early evening activity to get us out of the house so off to the supermarket we went. Weekly circular in hand I overstuffed the compartment below the megastroller with canned goods on sale, including some tuna which inspired an improved dish over aforementioned planned cheesy garlic bread (at least in sophistication if not in overall tastiness, in that nothing comes before cheesy garlic bread from Yorkside) of a bean-tuna spread on toast. The final spread was an uncooked blend of chick peas, tuna, artichoke hearts, capers, and lemon, and would have been improved by some garlic and perhaps a little cumin and/or paprika but as is was exceedingly tasty on oiled broiled baguette.
