So...no ravioli from a can?:)
Click to expand...

Im not a fan of ravioli. If I go to a restaurant that serves it, it's an Italian joint and I ain't ordering ravioli. Unless it's a fried appetizer. Those are good.

Making them homemade is more trouble than they are worth, to me. I'll eat them out of a can after "kicking them up a notch", but again, I don't care for them. Just another of those personal preference things. I'd just rather enjoy doing something else with meat, cheese, pasta and sauce. But another thing to remember, Kids love those and Mac and cheese, and I don't have any.

Do you plan on making some? Lol, I ask because I don't know, but will investigate it for you, with pleasure, if you're seriously planing to make them. :)

I get homemade ravioli on occasion. It is good, however, it is also a tranquilizer for me.:) I mean out like a light.

Never had it fried. I'll have to put in a request.

Stir often like it risotto, need moar!

Wish I could do something. My mom went through that chemotherapy stuff, Ive seen its ugly face, her response to it was " it's as bad as the cancer". I guess you have doctors and others giving you enough advice you don't need mine. I can say, the good Lord knows how how I feel about you and what I'd like for him to do, we talk everyday, so I do know you're in good hands. :thumbsup:

No, I'm being a little smart@$$. :) My kids loved those when they were little though. I remember the time I bought a can that didn't have meatballs, just rings and sauce. I honestly didn't even think of those "rings" being "pasta" til this conversation. That's what I was thinking when I wrote that.

Totally off subject, I just posted a song in the abc song thread and it reminded me. Go ahead and laugh, but every once in a while I like to listen to 10-12 songs back to back by The Beach Boys.

Lol.

Thank you my friend. And I agree with your mom, the effects of the chemo on your body are as bad as the cancer, it just usually doesn't kill you.

Winders, I'm not sure if your still interested but I normally just drizzle a little olive oil, salt and pepper a Filet Mignon and grill it to rare for myself. I like steak and its natural flavor, that's why I don't marinate them or do a lot of things with them. My favorite is a bone-in ribeye. Oil, salt, pepper and sometimes garlic.

Sometimes just to do something different, with filet, I'll "stuff" it with Gorganzola or bleu cheese crumbles or Wrap it in bacon.

With filets and other cuts, Spread a little Dijon mustard on it before grilling. This is amazing, but not something I want every time.

Sometimes I'll brush some butter on it, before and during grilling.

D-Ribose is excellent to dust meat with before cooking it, but it's not something most people keep around. I use it for making rubs, but I usually forget to replace what I've used, until I need it again. But, it's something worth trying for sure.

Sautéed mushrooms I most always make with any steak, but they go on the side, not on my steaks.

That's pretty much it for me, personally. I never do it for myself but I love to make different variations of beef Wellington.

:twocents:

On mushrooms. All mushrooms are editable, but some only once.

I'm heart broken. I was just going to post and ask for the directions.

Pretty simple, marinate the filet in Dr. Pepper 5 minutes, put it in the crock pot with some water, Don't salt and pepper it, you'll know why in a second. Cover and turn it on high. Cook on high for 10-12 hours, longer is fine if your busy. After at least 10, uncover and unplug the crock pot. Break two eggs and a cup of peanut butter in it while it's still hot. Stir and let cool to room temperature.

After its cooled, pour out half the liquid and sit it on the floor. Call the dog.

Making pasta is one of those things I like to do, occasionally. 9 times out of 9 1/2 I used dried. Itailan brands are the best IMO. They're more "starchy".

The key to Cooking good pasta is the amount of water. It's best to use at least 4 quarts to a pound of pasta. It gives the pasta more room so it doesn't stick together. Using oil is a waste of oil and it "lubricates" the pasta and doesn't allow the sauce to stick to it as well.

Add salt to the water. It adds flavor and unless you use too much, it won't taste salty. Just a good thre finger pinch to a gallon should be plenty.

Don't rinse pasta, before or after cooking it. That will remove the starch, which is where the flavor is and helps sauces stick it.

I like to keep about a cup of the water, after removing the pasta to add a little to my sauces.
