for those who wonder how they get that stuff inside ravioli, or cooking with kids
If your life is even more boring than mine and you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you’re a longtime reader of mine, you know that the hubs is a man of many talents from house projects to making sausage to building a smokehouse to smoking salmon.
He recently decided to trash the kitchen once again show the Kid how to make ravioli.
For the filling, he used duck, cheese, kale and some other stuff I didn’t see, but you can use whatever you like. Then, he put the Kid to work.
It helps if you never throw out stuff have toddler-sized spoons at home. Fairy ones work best.
Make your pasta nice and thin. We have this thingamajigger for everything you can imagine because the hubs is a compulsive gearhead with holes that you lay the pasta on top of, but if you don’t buy everything you see, you can use some other kitchen apparatus, like, the counter.
Once the clumps are in, you brush an egg wash around to seal the layers and then paint your arms and the walls.
After you place the top layer of pasta on top, you just trim with yet another specialty item and voila! Ravioli!
And, yes, that’s the total amount they made. We gobbled the entire amount way faster than it took me to clean their mess up in 5 minutes.
Are you making anything from scratch this holiday season?

As my dad would say, “You made those from scratch? Where’d you get the scratch?”
Pretty much everything I make these days is from scratch. But no duck. Kale, yes! But duck, not so much. And no lengthy cooking sessions for 12 measly ravioli. If I’m gonna labor over a hot stove (or microwave), I better be able to stuff myself when I’m done.
And have leftovers for the next few days.

This post made me hungry…
…and left me that way at the end, what with y’all eating every last one of them before I could get a grubby paw in there.

Huh! So that’s how you stuff a ravioli. I guess I can cross that one off my list. Thanks…

Well it may of only been a few but I am betting they were damn tasty.
I made a rye bread yesterday and no one will eat it but me. The gingerbread ornaments I made however got eaten.
