I've never had ravioli, it looks shit.
Ravioli is a difficult dish to make well. I've ceased trying, my mother's was so-so but my old Sicilian grandmother's was absolutely sublime; we'd crawl through broken glass for that meal. There are a lot of factors to consider, the composition of the stuffing, surface area of the pasta wrap, amount and flavor of the sauce to amount of raviolis, cooking time that influences texture of pasta. Done well it's a monument to culinary architecture; done poor to average and it's like a can of Chef Boyardi

never hurts to cut back on sugar. i use too much, but a lot less than some people. even people with no family history can fuck up their nervous system with too much sugar. it doesn't just make you fat and rot your teeth, it put's your nerves on alert, and keeps them there till it wears out or they do.
I drink less coke because of c2gs comments on the matter. Funny I'll accept advice from a stranger and resist the same advice from loved ones.

I'm not going to lie to you, neither of those plates of food looks like much...
I was probably 17 or 18 when I started eating pasta for the first time. I've given up on soda and cooldrinks probably in 2010. But, MAN!. I love me some sweet strong coffee.

Can't believe grandma made you guys do that. Old-school Sicilians are hard core...

Double addiction, caffeine rush and sugar rush at the same time. Add some herbs and you have an extra strength Red Bull and we've all seen the reports on how that shit fucks your heart.

You gotta ditch that sugar, man, for your own good.

Accomplishment today. Hobble 200yds or so, get on bus, get off bus and see bakery closed. No problem, nice day so decide next one up isn't so far away and hobble there. Realise it's further than I thought, oops. Struggle to make it home.

Got me a good rye sourdough though, so the pain was worth it.

Epoxy stone done in garage & front porch.

Have to clean out basement and start bringing in refinished furniture. Raining all day, not moving anything today.

One defect they're coming back to fix. Less than a foot inside door, door was blocked up a foot so it didn't go down on tacky epoxy until dry. I think a bird may have landed there. Coming later today.

Right between garage and man door. Need a tablespoon of stuff to level.

Nice. There is a beach near me, Cambria that has sand looking just like that
