"Oh, Mama...you are so jaded! We totally should have had brain stew for dinner instead...and, BTW...that Weezer cover rocks...just sayin'"
At least she still has faith in humanity..I, on the otherhand, wouldn't mind a little vindication of sorts..hmmm...yeah, complications..where shall I begin...yup, we are a complete and utter ray of sunshine over here on the west side today...big sighs...oh, and here was my alleged super-cool new find..
We made Meteors! My absolute favorite part, which did make me giggle...was the 'whoosh' with the rubbery-looking long arm on that red-headed kid...But, I will provide a heads-up...the claims on this package, much to my chagrin, were questionable, at best...
We did make space rocks...using the enclosed chemicals and molds and a little good, old H20...waited patiently (and you know how hard that was for us!) for things to form and such...eagerly anticipating the moment when we could make them crash into the earth and create craters...craters are great!
The kit allowed for the forming of two meteors...Both of which I hurled at our precious earth...only to be extremely frustrated by what happened next...which was NOTHING. Yup...It was like throwing a pebble....I was hoping for an event cataclysmic in nature...something worth photographing..well..sorry...Apparently, these at home scientific 'experiments' should be avoided..like the plague..they suck...yup..totally..
"So, Mama...not to change the subject or anything..but we should get over meteors...they deceive and delude like lots of things! SO, do you know why the peanut went out with the raisin???? Because he couldn't find a date! Get it??? hahahahaha...As usual, I crack myself up! hahahahahaha"
Leave it it good, old Eves...she knows her stuff...and she does have a point...I shall erase the meteor dismay from my brain...it is now a distant memory..like this one time when I was downtown and..alright, again..I will stop! You really don't want to know...trust me...we cooked...kinda, sorta...well, good intentions..It is the weekend..time for extra blog attention..
Chanterelles...I snagged a few...Fall would not be complete without a dish including these...even though, to this day, I still cringe...but they are gorgeous! And I only had to clean eight of them..happiness ensued..that and perhaps a little dancing...
I had hopes, high hopes...like that rubber tree plant and those ants...that we would have chanterelle mushroom and goat cheese ravioli for dinner...again, it IS the weekend...
Pasta sheets (for the ravioli), sage, goat cheese, parmesan, shallot and olive oil.
Saute your minced shallot and chanterelles in olive oil...in none other than, the Skillet of Justice! It is morally righteous...ethical...expected...rational..natural..again, I love the drama! Makes the world of saute THAT much better...yup..
Allow it to cool...and move to a bowl...although, it already was cool from inception..it is on the west side and such...hahahaha...
Combine your chanterelle mixture with goat cheese, grated parmesan and a little pepper...stir to combine..merge your ingredients...no worries..it doesn't hurt...
In the meantime...frizzle a few sage leaves...it's a hoot! For reals! Besides, what else are ya gonna do??? Well, besides shake a little bootie, of course...99 Red Balloons, STILL rocks...oh, dear...The You Tube...need I say any more...
Gorgeous...breathtaking...like, um, this guy, you know the one..I know you do..yup..you totally do..oh, and like...well, where was I...jeesh....still trying to cope with the focusing, WIP, as I always say!
Time to make ravioli! Yup...no skeptics allowed...you should have known we'd reach this point...it might have taken WAY too long, but we did arrive...I can only ramble on and on for so long...lucky you, no????? hahahahaha...
Place your sheet of pasta on the counter...and place mounds of the filling, brushing around the area with an egg wash, then proceed to place the other sheet on top and cut out with your cutter, of the cookie variety...
"Um, Mama...quick question...are you gonna break the news to the entire world wide web, or do I have to be the bearer of bad news...???? merely curious, of course... I DO get that from you!"
Yes..yes...she is correct...I do have some rather unfortunate news to share with you this evening regarding our meal..well, that and my ever-growing list of inabilities...aside from the egg poaching and the salsa making and bird trussing...there are so many...anywhoo...here's dinner..
Pizza! Crappy pizza from down the street! The contingency plan, my friends...The ravioli filling is delicious...however, my ravioli would not stay together..so after an hour, I gave up and got a pizza. I was starving...
I am now left with ravioli filling in the fridge for which I need to find a use..It's a sin to waste! Out of self-pity I ate way too much pizza, then proceeded to make a peanut butter milkshake...Speaking of waists...hahahahaha....I may just need to return those new jeans I purchased, as I must have gained 80 pounds tonight...but, I prolly won't even need them when I join that convent and forfeit cooking...yup...after this evening's debacle, that is the path in which I am headed..I'd be willing to bet there's no such thing as a bad habit in a convent, no???? hahahahaha...Sorry, that was a really bad joke..it's been a long, disappointing evening and I couldn't help myself..I meant no ill will to those out there who may be nuns...and not that any nuns read this blog...heck, not that anyone reads this blog, tisk-tisk....but it's better to be safe...just sayin' I shall quit now...before I make things even worse...Remember, when all else fails, order a pizza! Buy a bag of balloons and set them free...well, is that environmentally safe??? Perhaps it was OK back in 1983. Again, I am quitting...for reals this time...off to our nightcap of Poprocks and Coke...hey, it IS the west side...teehee...We'll be back tomorrow, with some real food..fingers and toes crossed! Don't run and hide just yet! Puhleeeseee...
