The roasted veggies are so good, you'll (almost) wonder why you didn't just eat them like this instead of putting them in a frittata!
4 cups Roasted Zucchini, Onion, and Peppers
1 teaspoon olive oil
10 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Drain any liquid from leftover roasted zucchini, onion, and peppers; place in pie plate.
In a large bowl, beat eggs with grated Parmesan cheese, coarse salt, and ground pepper; pour over vegetables.
Bake until top is golden and center is set, 35 to 40 minutes; cool 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!

See all of my other pics from Savannah here.
In 1984, hopelessly blocked on a novel, Georgelle Hirliman hit on the idea of setting up shop with her typewriter in a Santa Fe storefront. Beside her, she placed a sign:
Help Me Cure My Writer’s Block — Give Me a Topic.
In Manhattan she wrote in the windows of The Village Voice, Shakespeare & Co. on the Upper West Side and B. Dalton on Fifth Avenue, among other places, sitting daily for eight hours at a stretch.
Though Ms. Hirliman passed away in 2010, her inspiration lives on now through a New Yorker now living in Savannah, Lauren DeRosa. She occupies the window at Paris Market on Broughton St.
I talked to her briefly in the store. I didn't understand the history of her "project" at that time. It just intrigued me.
A writer in a window. Are you on display, like a zoo or a mannequin? Seeking to answer questions in an artsy store, are you part of the block or part of the writer? But there were beautiful words everywhere (whatever the answer).
She asked me if I had a question for her to answer, but, honestly, I saw so many pictures in my head...words escaped me.
How much is that writer in the window? “I stopped answering that,” Ms. Hirliman told The Albuquerque Journal in 2000. “Nobody paid.”
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. sweet almond oil
2 vitamin E capsules
1/2 t. vanilla extract
Combine brown sugar and almond oil in a mixing bowl. Pierce capsules with a knife or cut in half with kitchen scissors. Empty oil into sugar mixture and discard capsules. Add vanilla and stir well to combine. Store in an airtight container. Makes about one cup. (Add a drizzle of honey for extra moisturizing!)
Pour into a jar with a rubber seal, add the label above and surprise someone special!
