I went grocery shopping and, among other things, I bought 3 lb of
ricotta because it was only twice as much as 15 oz. When I got home I
opened it up to take a "quality control sample." Hmmm, it would be
interesting to try it with fruit, so I mixed in 1/2 mango and 1/2
banana, then finished off the banana.

Now I'm not hungry! The ravioli will have to wait until tomorrow. My
bad.

I hate when I do that :>

It was a "quality control" sample of the ricotta- about 1/2 cup. A
lotta ricotta left. Either I'm going to be making mucho ravioli (and
freezing most of them), or I will make a cheesecake. Hmmm....

Hmmm... Now I know what to do with those mangoes I bought. :-)
I gave one to the cockatoo, but I was going to puree the other two.

Bet they'd go great with fresh yogurt or cottage cheese.....

Yes, as I was eating it, I thought that tart cottage cheese would go
better with the sweet fruit... more of a contrast.

That sounds good. The raspberry would have more of a contrast to the
mild ricotta.

a great way to use up three pounds of ricotta is blintzes, and they freeze
well.

Or crepes... Mmmmmm...
Wonderful idea!
I've not had crepes since before mom died.
She really knew how to make them, and I never have. :-(

Any hints?

Ah! Life can be so difficult at times!

fortunately, ravioli ages well, esp. if its in tomato sauce.

Do you let your batter rest an hour? After that, it's
easy... you don't even need to use a "crepe" pan.

Yes, in fact the motivation for buying the ricotta was to test the
"Raviolissima(tm)" attachment for my pasta maker which I recently
bought (not at Fantes -which is a great store of course- but there's a
photo of the device on this page).

Mom always used a crepe pan... It was copper.
I've just not tried to make them yet!

<lol> I was just going to glop some Mango puree on top of some cottage
cheese and eat it with a spoon. :-)

Freya, the cockatoo has consumed about 1/2 of the one I gave her in just
one day! They are 3 for $1.00 right now, so I may get more just for her.

(laugh) I'm way too intimidated by the machine. Luckily for me I
live close to a great place that sells fabulous ravioli. I have
made homemade but using wonton wrappers (I know, I know).

Good luck. nancy

I have good news and bad news ;> The good news is that the
raviolissima works very well! The bad news is that the one I bought
doesn't fit my machine. By balancing things carefully I managed to
crank out one sheet of ravioli (which is how I know that it works),
but it was too awkward for serious production :< I might be able to
jury-rig something in the future, but it will take some effort. I
took the remaining pasta and filling and made an ad-hoc lasagna.
