Potato Ratatouille!

For those of you who have already watched this animated cartoon movie, 'Ratatouille"..I hope it spells correct but any how those who already know which movie I am talking about would also understand what I am referring to or for that matter know the spellings as well...well the story was about this chef who wanted to be recognized as one and with the help of a arty crafty Rat..yes sir a rat chef he made it!! so my idea was not to declare that I had found a rat chef to help me become a known chef but to tell you that I should be declared a potatoe arty crafty chef what with the need to find all kinds and all sorts of potato recipes have turned me into a jhat pat or rather a quick online turned do some thing quick potato fairy.Yup the day I got married i asked my darling after a few days what interested him in food and after a looong list of meat and bbq and chicken and more meat I politely had to intervene and ask again if there was any veggie that interested him also to which he immediately jumped up and enthusiastically blubbered that potatoes were his favourites and any thing with potato would be fine..So, my dearies from that day till now potatoes are always combined with meat, or veggie or lentil or baked or boiled or skinned ..well you name it we have it in all forms.
Even my darling children are potato junkies..fried, micro waved, mashed, sliced, boiled they love it! I feel like a potato Ratatouille honestly thinking of innovative and quickest ways of presenting the same potato head.and that too in a jiffy.honestly i had to remind my boys of the circumstancial consequences of gobbling too many baked potatoes..the painted picture of potatoes hanging from the sides and protruding from the back did not even deter the determined potato eaters. Some times I really feel potato is one vegetable that has the tendency to get you hooked on it. Fries are the most inviting even I cannot stop myself from reaching out to the plate and withdrawing myself as just as quick lest my fingers intervine and make a fistful dash for it. lol!
Coming back to conjuring up new potato storm I certainly salute all mums who slog at the kitchen counters thinking of pleasing ways of presenting new dishes for their loved ones and believe you potatoes are the best magical food that never fail to please any one of any age group. All what moms have to become is a Ratatoille chef and viola..their hubbies and kidos and fidos will be well fed and forever hooked on your crafty ways..Happy potato Cooking!
