i am so lazy

wow, i really am incredibly behind on my posts. i was looking through all the pictures that i prepared and NEVER bothered to post, and i cant believe it has been so long. a fact that actually segways quite nicely into the theme for this entry. my laziness.

i once bought some bananas. and i was too lazy to actually eat them before they got very brown. in my defence, i really prefer bananas that are sort of green still, nice and firm, and have that green taste to them. so, once the bananas were no longer green, i didnt really want to eat them anymore, so naturally they then became brown shortly after without my intervention.

you would think, at this point, that i would have trashed the bananas that i was too lazy to eat. but no. i called my mother and got her banana bread recipe and made 2 loaves of banana bread. which is delicious. too lazy to eat the bananas while they were fresh, but not too lazy to make banana bread? that is how my brain works.

and so we come to july. when i made the baby quiches in the previous post, i had some leftover egg yolks. which i didnt want to waste even though work was really busy. so i tried to find some easy recipe on epicurious that would use them up, like a dessert or something. instead, i was intrigued by a recipe for ravioli. because ravioli pasta dough requires a bunch of egg yolks. and so, i went to the trouble of making pasta dough, from scratch (from this recipe), and then rolling it out because i DONT OWN A PASTA ROLLER (thanks mother, for promising that you would get me the kitchenaid attachment for christmas so that i wouldnt buy it for myself, and then NOT ACTUALLY DOING IT). i then cut it up with a biscuit cutter, because also unlike my mother, i dont have a ravioli mold.


i mixed together the cheese mixture from the recipe above, except instead of parmesan, i used gorgonzola (it was what i had on hand. either that or i purchased it intentionally at the store. i dont really remember). and, naturally, i made WAY too much filling. even though it was the amount that the recipe called for, i had like, 2 cups leftover. what does one DO with all of that leftover gorgonzola ricotta mixture? one throws it into a pyrex dish along with a bunch of cherry tomatoes, and bakes it for a bit, for an additional delicious side.


laziness can be good, see. it produces homemade ricotta gorgonzola ravioli.
