I don't know how to spell the plural sense of mango.
Today was quite a day unlike any other day.
Today was the day Nicole and I made the cheese and spinach ravioli from scratch. As in from the dough to the filling with flour all over the place and cheese smells stuck in the fingers. It was quite tiresome but I'm glad that it actually came out alright.
We had to make the dough twice because the first time was a total bomb. The second time was not perfect but nonetheless okay. The dough came out pretty tough though because we didn't get to roll it thinly enough, what with my not owning a rolling pin. But I got one today so I'm planning to make more tomorrow and let it keep. Sharon dropped by the house too today and we had her test the first ravioli topped with Prego's mushroom tomato sauce. It tasted quite well actually with the sauce. So, I'm planning to test them out with the carbonara sauce soon. I'm quite proud of the raviolis actually, which is really saying something as most of my hand made eateries aren't exactly edible or tasty enough for me at least. Some of the flaws I had with the raviolis were that the fillings were too watery and I was scared that it would actually leak out when I was boiling it. I actually had to boil it for almost twenty minutes before the dough was actually edible enough for our stomaches to handle it. I have to learn how to use a rolling pin now.
My next cooking rendevous will probably not involve any more flour or eggs or stretchy and hard dough for a long while more. Maybe something like sauce making would be good.
We had dinner with Kim, Sean, and Addie at Ming Tien later on but I had to forgoe eating a bowl of noodles or rice on my own because my stomach couldn't handle any more food after stuffing myself with porridge, ravioli and mango for lunch and tea. It was a cool outing with friends that I haven't seen in a fair while and had fun hanging out together. It was very nice I have to admit. Let's go out more often!
Sayonara for now. And I still want more anime DVDs.
And I think I'm 80% steering towards HELP now and 20% towards Monash.
P.S: I don't know how to let you taste my hand made raviolis, Laine, but I'll figure something out soon. I just hope that it doesn't get too frozen or hard by the time the square lumps make it to your hands.
