Anyway, I thought the best way to procrastinate would be to post a blog. Hoorah!
Let's do a little recap of the the past week...
First item on the list...*drumroll*
Sarah was attacked by the stairs in our house.
That's it.
She's doing better (hooray!), but I am afraid she will come home with a very strict vendetta against the stairs and I will have to find a new way down to the basement in order to do my laundry. Regardless, she will be up and back to her old self in no time. =)
On the show we talked about Guilty Pleasures and of course played those songs we're all guilty of loving and dancing to. Shame on you. Shame on me. It was all inspired by a great website I stumbled upon called This is You're Fat (http://www.thisiswhyyourefat.com). The foods are heartstoppingly, ridiculously, awesome. I'd love to take a bite of any of those, but I'd also make sure to have a bucket on the side. My personal favourite is the meatloaf with the macaroni and cheese in the middle and bacon wrapping. *drool*
On a similar note check this out...
The only other thing they need would be a Lays potato chip IV and we're gold. Although, I'd much rather be surrounded by scantily clad male nurses than female nurses, but that's just how my boat floats.
**If you're looking for a more local place to indulge your suicidal tastebuds and you live in the Hamilton area, make sure to check out Big Ed's. They got some greasy, greasy burgers and are made from home-made burger patties. If you're up to challenge, you should try their 3 lbs burger. On the other hand, you could also try their specialty called the Mootine. Picture a bowl with mashed potatoes, covered with gravy, toss in some meatballs, and top with some melted cheese. Mmmmmm...coronary.
I also promised that I'd post some pictures of those tortellini that Sarah and I had way back when. Just to keep up with the food trend of having all foods asian-inspired, they're made with wonton wrappers.
So I'll call them my:
Asian-Fusion Tortellini, with a Whatever-We-Had-In-the-Fridge-Sauce.
Filling:
1/2 tub of ricotta
1 package of frozen spinach
tons of parmesan (1/4 cup-ish)
salt and pepper
Mix up all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl and spoon about 1 (maybe 2) tablespoon of filling onto each wonton square. Dab some water onto the outer edges of the wonton square and fold it in half to seal it. (I did it diagonally.) Fold the extra little bit of wonton wrapper over and pinch the corners together. (I know that doesn't make much sense, but maybe you'll see what I mean from the picture.)
Place in a pot of boiling, salted water. Remove when floating and sauce. Eat!
Sauce:
This is going to be really rough idea of what was in the sauce, because I don't remember it all that well...
3 honey garlic sausages removed from the casing
2 tomatoes
1 handful of chopped basil
2 tbsps of sundried tomatoes
1 clove of garlic, minced
parmesan
Brown the sausage until it's cooked and toss in the tomatoes to add some liquid to the sauce. When the tomatoes are cooked, toss in the rest of the ingredient and stir it around, letting the flavours combine. Serve with the tortellini. =)
Finished product:
When I first looked at them, I was little weirded out because they look like the traditional Chinese wontons with the meat and veggie filling, but instead when you take a bite, it's CHEESE! So it ends up just being a good thing, unless you're lactose intolerant...and then that's just too bad.
That's it for the post. Tune in this week for...well you'll just have to listen to the show.
Happy cooking!
