Homemade Ravioli

My dear friend Kallie puts up with my many creative whims and ideas. The lastest adventure was making homemade ravioli. I have to say, I have new found appreciation for it - all the time and labor that goes into the cheesey goodness will make me savor every bite a little more. We had to play around with the dough recipe but ended up with something that seemed the right consistency.








Armed with our new French rolling pins we set to work rolling out the dough. Once the dough was rolled, we spooned on the cheese mixture and covered it with the top layer of dough. Then came the stamping.




We used this stamp from Crate and Barrel. A lot of muscle was used to cut through the dough. But all that effort produced about 40 ravioli.




This will be a very enjoyable meal!

Queen of Hearts Tea

Inspiration struck in the form of a LivingSocial deal. Back in May I saw a deal for a tea house. Having attended tea parties in my hometown, I got the idea that this would be fun for all my girlfriends. So I purchased the deal for everyone. The next task was to find hats. I looked in shops but ended up ordering basic hats online and decorating them myself. They turned out great! Each invitation was delivered with a hat. We enjoyed the tea party on Saturday, October 8th and here are few photos of the event.
