It's been going something like, "Should I cook/bake/make ____, or should I kill myself?" around in my head lately. So there's been time consuming baking while listening to The Mars Volta which is enough to make me want to live a little longer.

Hence: Ravioli!


So my CSA brought two butternut squashes, a really big beet, and some salad fluff.

I made beet pasta dough, this took hours and made the kitchen impossibly messy and stained pink:

Then made the butternut squash filling:

I did a cream sauce out of fresh sage, oregano, and lemon juice.

Damn, was that waaayyy tasty pink ravioli! Maybe not 4.5h worth, but almost.

It was worth it! It was worth every minute!

...of course I only spent 30 minutes helping, rather than 4.5 hours, but it was AMAZING.

That looks delicious.

I find baking and cooking very stress relieving.
