because you are dying to know what we ate

Sunday dinner, my turn, and I made homemade ravioli. This time, I made the dough in the food processor using 3 eggs and a scant 2 cups flour – 2 batches was enough for us all. (That’s 9 people – 5 adults, 2 teens, one medium child and a toddler.)

I made the usual two fillings, pork and cheese. I tried to do a squash one but it was too runny. (Add a little squash to the cheese filling next time, don’t add a little cheese to the squash.) For the cheese filling, if I haven’t mentioned it before, I just toss some cream cheese (half a block) in the processer with some mozzarella, parmesan (not so much) and a bit of sour cream or cottage cheese (or even ricotta if I have it) to thin it out some. I measure that by looks.

Emma helped me crank the pasta machine so it took a lot longer.

I used up all the burners on the top of the stove; one pot for the tomato sauce, one for the pork ravioli, one for the cheese/veggie ones, and a pot for some vegetables (just the frozen carrots/broccolli/cauliflower mix). Mom brought the garlic bread and pumpkin pie for dessert.

Uncle Andy wanted to know if I cooked like this all the time, because if so, he’d find a shuttle between my place & Mom’s. Ron muttered under his breath that I cook like this only every other Sunday. But he was kidding.

I hope.
