What is the one thing more frustrating than having your post unrec'd?
Making ravioli noodles. I'm a newbie at it and damn, that shit is hard to handle. Messy too. I'm going to have to mop the floor in the morning, and I bet I could make bread with the mop water after I'm done.

In the end though, I kicked its ass, and we had some TO DIE FOR homemade ravioli tonight. The stuffing was ground sirloin, garlic, ricotta, parmesan, and basil. I sauced the ravioli with Paul Newman's Own after cooking it.

In the interest of giving credit where credit is due, I MUST thank my daughter and The Ms. for their assistance. Without them, we'd have eaten Red Baron pizza once I was frustrated enough to give up on the noodles.

So fucking unrec my posts. I can make ravioli that will make your mouth water. Why should I care?

4. Six runs in the tenth? Yeah, bring on the Red Sox.
Kemp is hitting "lights out" for the last four games. The "O" Dawg is the best deal I've seen the Dodgers make for the last... oh wait. There's Casey Blake and Manny... Let me just say that I'd buy Ned Colletti a beer any time he wanted one. And trading Milton Bradley for Andre Ethier? FUCKING PRICELESS!

My favorite bartender works in the Stadium Club and is from the Bronx... and even HE has to nod to what Big Blue has done so far this year.

^5, Fellow Dodger Fan!

2. Now, THAT is the attitude -
very admirable, and kudos on the ravioli.

You're a star.

Take a bow ..........................

8. Um, gosh I don't even know what to say to that... LOL
Have you tried using your other hand? I'm told it's like having a totally new lover. Or just turn your favorite hand over... same result.

10. Barry Bonds, is that you?
Barry...!!! Balco...!!! Barry...!!! Balco...!!!

I do miss you so. My season ticket seats were out along the left field line, and when you came to Dodger Stadium, I was humbled by the way you turned to the crowd and just soaked it up... challenged us to yell louder... then hit home runs.

Fucker.

7. Actually, making the noodles isn't the hardest part, per se. It's
the filling them and then rolling the top layer on and getting it to seal and cut well with that mold thingie.

I have a ravioli maker but have only made it once, it was so aggravating. If I do it again, I'll just use wonton skins folded over.

9. This might sound strange, but I use the tool that pushes screen into the channel on doors and window
screens. It's a little wider than the regular wheel. I've done this three times and have yet to have a ravioli come open during the boil. The hardest part for me is getting the noodles thin enough without tearing them.

I'm beginning to think that the pasta maker I got for my birthday was some kind of cruel joke, but kick it's ass I will, someday.
