Mm, I AM going to have to try making some Ratatouile. Preferably the
way they made it in the movie. :-) That looks appealing.

My sister generally makes eggplant parmesan when she cooks it. I'll have
to get her to cook some for us if I buy the ingredients.

I'm going over there shortly for some steak and tempura veggies for my
Birthday. I'm providing the steaks (boneless ribeyes that are currently
marinating) and she will provide the veggie selection. She's respecting
my low carbing at the moment and NOT baking me any sweets. :-)

I don't want to lose any momentum/progress, not even for my B-day!
Just having her and Chas do the cooking is cool. I don't need anything
else, just some family time.

We have finally pretty much stopped going out to dinner for birthdays as
all three of us (me, sis and the brother in law) are decent cooks and
sooooo many restaurant foods are horribly over-salted any more. ;-(

Plus cooking in is far more affordable!
