Stewed Pumpkin, Egg plant, Tomatoe and Pork a la Ratatouille

I should consume harvested pumpkins before they get decayed. Together with egg plants and tomatoes of the last batch of harvest this year, one of them was cooked a la ratatouille. The 1st ever dish of French stew for me. It makes me imagine how the country people in France are having it for a casual dish. We are apt to cook everything in Chinese or Korean style when we get bored with our traditional cooking. This French style is not bad. It is simple in addition.

A Japanese Youtuber living with his Russian wife in a countryside of Russia told in his program people in Russia are growing potatoes and stock it in the amount sufficient to feed them for 3 months. People in Russia have experienced a number of political as well as economical crises since '90s. That might be the reason why they prepare such stock of foods.

Our country could have such a crisis in the near future. Natural disaster, crisis in the international relationship or progress of the inflation etc may cause food shortage here. I am afraid much higher iflation is impending here. But very few are concerned about it. Am I too pessimistic?

Here is the potatoes grown in the farm here, which would be cropped next month before we have the frost.

I would dig out the rest of sweet potatoes in the farm. It has been too wet to do that for the past few days. We may have the Alteweibssommer for the next few days.
