Oh, geez, sorry.

So long since I updated. I really need to update more often.

I'm currently visiting my mom. My Mother's Day gift (very very late Mother's Day gift) to her was to cook a 4 course dinner for her and 4 of her friends. So, for the appetizer, I made a mixed mushroom ravioli with a White Wine sauce, the soup was French Onion, the main course was a horseradish encrusted Prime Rib, Asparagus in Hollandaise and twice baked Potatoes. Dessert was Amaterasu's Delight.

The ravioli was completely from scratch. I used Tyler Florence's pasta recipe, but neither my mom nor myself has a pasta machine, so I rolled them out by hand. The mushrooms were minced very finely and cooked along with finely minced yellow onion. I added salt, pepper, a bit of nutmeg, and white wine vinegar. Delicious. The white wine sauce had a few mushrooms and shallot, again, finely minced, and cooked down, with white wine and a bit of white wine vinegar. Cooked down to appropriate thickness. the thickness of the pasta could have been thinner, but other than that, deeelicious. So now, I need a pasta machine.

The Amaterasu's Delight managed to delight another group of people. That dessert may make me famous. No, really, it's that good.

I made bacon chocolate cupcakes a few weeks ago. That was a successful endeavor. Will attempt to bacon up some more stuff.


The new class at Art Soup starts on Monday. This will be a 6 week class. Good times!
