Homemade Ravioli and Coconut Macaroons

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Clouds overhead… no hide and seek today… sun shielding her face from the Big Apple 🍎 Chilly temps barely making it into the 50’s… by evening storms arriving bringing downpours… wind gusts and microbursts… lightening and roadway flooding…  farther up north snow accumulating nearing 10”… spring on hold for a bit ⛈💨☔️


Breakfast for three… Mr Sam enjoying his kibble with a side of whey… hubs yogurt and a banana alongside his hot java ☕️  Iced coffee🧋as usual… a relaxing day indoors… a few calls… paperwork… Mr Sam snoozing on the carpet nearby… no sun to enjoy on his window perch 😽


Playtime in the kitchen today 🙃 early afternoon making coconut macaroons (special thanks to Dori Levy for the recipe… again)  Had to try one warm from the oven… incredibly delicious 😋  Having a couple of yolks left from the macaroons… what to make? 


Fresh three cheese ravoili… rolling out the dough…  making the filling (ricotta, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, grated Romano an egg and a couple of tbsp parsley) cutting out the dough circles… brushing on the egg wash… a tiny dollop of filling on each ravioli… folded and pressed to seal then left to dry on a floured sheet pan for 30 minutes… the repetitive activity so soothing on this dreary day…  waiting for the water to come to a vigorous boil… sliding in the ravioli for a quick 4 minute bath… just 12 at a time… and onto the plate… a light dressing of good olive oil… black pepper… parsley and Parmesan… first time making them… and not a one opened in the water… so pleased… they were delicious  


Dessert… macaroons… and decaf ☕️ for the hubs… who is feeling much improved (YAY) on day 8… 


The bombardment in Ukraine 🇺🇦 escalating as Russia tries to subdue the spirit of its western neighbor…  our hearts ache for the Ukrainian people… and the Mom’s in Russia who’s sons have unnecessarily died in this war 😢

BA-2 variants have increased once again in the US #GetYourJabOn  and help put an end to this pandemic… mask up and wash those germy hands 😷💕

How was your day?   What’s on your plate?   Thoughts?
