Ravioli and babies

This past weekend John and I had his childhood friend Paul, his wife Kim, and their beautiful daughter Nina over for dinner. Is there nothing cuter then two grown men playing with an adorable little girl??? I think not :)


Nina unfortunatly isn't old enough to take part in the ravioli yet :( but maybe next time Nina! As for the rest of us we enjoyed some made fresh that day ravioli from the Ravioli Shop here in Rochester. I know not homemade by me, shame on me. Dad and I make the best ravioli in the world anyway! This place is pretty good though, they say the dough is very thin (not really compared to how thin dad and I make it) but in comparison to other ravioli shops it is thinner then the average. I didn't take pictures that night but here are some of the sausage and 5 cheese ravioli reheated the next day.. still tasty! As for dessert I made some of the BEST chocolate cupcakes ever!!! Also very tasty, the entire batch was gone by the following morning, yum.

And YES that is the fantastic new bowl I found with Beth the other day that someone was throwing out! Seriously people around this area move and just leave half of their apartment on the curb for garbage pickup it's so sad I mean call Salvation Army and they will happily come pick it up and someone who needs it can have it!

Ok enough ranting about people wasting things... The ravioli shop is located over at 260 N Winton Road. Parking can be a challenge but it's worth it. Also worth it is the assortment of home made breads they carry. The semelina is to die for!!! Read about their bread making here.

On another side note Nina inspired me to learn crochet and I got to give her the blanket and little bird I made for her! Pretty good for a first crochet project I think :)
