Ratatouille






This is one of The Peanut's favorites!  He knows every single word, and even does the sound effects....very percussive!  It's a favorite of mine as well, as I am actually a trained chef, but was never quite crazy enough to try to own a restaurant....and I'm almost as short as Chef Skinner....(voiced by the great Ian Holm).  I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating  that the character of Colette, voiced brilliantly by Janeane Garofalo, is based on one of the first truly independent successful chefs in France by the name of Olympe Versini.  I will admit that I am not that big a fan of haute de cuisine of France, especially Paris, but I have been a fan of hers for decades.  Good stuff.  Her photo below. Sorry, I know this is a "horror blog," but the chef in me just can't quite resist.
