Still have too many zucchini? |
discovered the joys of ratatouille
when we lived in Spain for a
month. It is wonderful for adding
to homemade soup. If you have
tomatoes going ugly on the vines
and a lot of zucchini, put this
together and freeze it. In
November, you'll be glad you did.

Ratatouille

5 medium tomatoes, pected and
seeded (see below)
3 zucchini - about 2 cups, cubed
1 eggplant, diced
lcup diced @aion
3 tablespoons fiour
3 teaspoons chicken bouillon mix
(Chicken in a Mug)

2 teaspoons mixed dry italian
herhs
‘a teaspoon
garlic powder
a litde cold water

Combine vegetables in a large
saucepan. Over flow heat simmer
until tender in their own juices.
Stir flour together with the re-
maining dry ingredients. Add
water to make a soupy paste and
wisk until smooth. Stir into
vegetables and cook until the mix-
ture is thick. Package in one cup
lots — each serves two as a
vegetable dish or makes one pot
of soup with broth and other
vegetables.

each: sugar, salt.

To peel tomatoes: Cut out core.
Drop tomatoes into boiling water
for a few seconds and scoop out
with a slotted spoon. Drop into
cold water. The skins will rub off.
Squeeze out the seeds through the

-hole you made when you took out

the core or blossom end. If you
have a gas stove, you can get the
same results by spearing cach
tomato and rotating it in the cen-
tre of the flame.

It shouldn't surprise you — all
our daughters have pussycats-
Tiggy the Terrible (he is Janine’s
joy but house-wrecks in his spare
time), Lori’s Mr. Frisky (one of
the sweetest cats I've ever known
but his wandering across 23rd
might do him in) and Chesley,
Suzy’'s litde calico.

The big problem all of my
daughters have faced this year is
fleas. | don’t know why but our

Miss Bea Proud, Resident

four — Timmy, Emily, Cricket
and Misty are nearly flea-free. So
far, nothing is jumping in) my
house.

Two of the girls spent a lot of
money in vet bills for flea baths,
and fumigation. Both hired the
North Shore Pest Control to clear
out their houses and recommend
the service.

brides back to Canada. After 16 crossings of the
Atlantic | never stayed still again. But when | was looking for
a new place to call home, Twanted to make sure that this would
be the right decision. I am just delighted with COURTYARD
