Summer in a Jar

Sometimes one is lucky enough to have a friend, they can also call family, that writes a blog where they show their wares. In my case, it's Ellen (who is both friend and family, via marriage) who writes a lovely blog that fills me with dreams of good eats. She's a forager of wild foods and a baker and wine maker and on and on and on... and a few weeks ago, she wrote about this gorgeous ratatouille. Once I saw it, I knew I wanted it (actually, I wouldn't mind at least one of everything Ellen makes, as well as being invited to every dinner she famously produces with friends...alas, we're on different coasts now). I guess I left a little comment about maybe getting some...someday... when, lo and behold, days later I received a big ole package in the mail!
One bottle of delicious ratatouille at your service!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ellen! I owe you one!
