When I walk into a room that smells of warm, roasting vegetables, I smile, knowing Ratatouille is for supper. Colorful and savory, this French entree delights my taste buds to watering. The vibrant mixture of red bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and garlic tempts my eyes, but know I must not spoil my dinner. Anxiously I sit down, as my tummy growls, dreaming of taking that first scrumptious bite of chewy pasta and crunchy veggies. I patiently wait, tapping my feet and twiddling my thumbs, waiting for that moment when the round tomatoes come flying out of the oven. Suddenly a timer beeps and I instantly jump to my feet to help serve our exquisite, steamy French salad.
