What I loved from dinner are the thyme popovers I made! I've never had popovers before so I have no idea whether mine rose to the target height. But below this crusty top is a texture so light it's almost hollow, a fluffiness I like to pull apart with both hands between my fingers before putting it in my mouth. To think, I didn't even have the whole milk specified in the recipe... how good they would have been otherwise.

Okay, so... ratatouille... I made it but I don't really get it... Don't be mad, all the ratatouille lovers out there, but it's just stewed veggies with some herbs... right? I keep thinking maybe when I layer it all together, the whole thing would take on this new flavor, but my zucchini still tasted like zucchini. The problem is I make too many things without having tasted them first (done the correct way), so I never know whether what I made is close to the way the kitchen gods intended. I want to taste Linda's before passing judgement on the dish... after all, there was a whole movie named after it.

Oh Tian...perhaps I set your expectations too high! Basically it is just a pile of stewed veggies...
R says that he loves it, but that my consistency isn't too good. Sometimes it's really good, sometimes it's just so so.
anyways, those popovers look amazing! Did you use fresh thyme?
Yes I did used fresh thymes. I used Ina's recipe on foodnetwork.com... I think I trippled the amount indicated because what was I going to do with all the leftover thyme (I put some thyme and basil in the Ratatouille too, btw)? But, it still could have used more. I want to see more green speckles in my popovers! :) I also used 2% bc I didn't have whole... that's rather daring, wouldn't you agree, since the recipe specifically said "whole milk"...
