Not a lot accomplished today. Wanted to get out to somewhere away from The City, but Speed Racer wasn't cooperating. Sounds like the muffler was punctured or something. Anyway, didn't want to risk anything by driving too far out, so just left him in the driveway and wandered over to Porter to run errands.

Got a fair bit of reading done for class, as well as a good chunk of my scarf finished (pictures tomorrow, maybe). I need to turn in a paper, but am totally blocked; not good.

Dinner was something simple that turned out really well:

1/2 red onion (color unimportant - that's what I had in the fridge)
1 1/2 c frozen peas
3 T olive oil
4-5 slices prosciutto

1/2 bag frozen cheese ravioli (80 count)

Dice onion, saute in 2 T olive oil until tender. Add frozen peas. Cook until peas are soft. Lower heat (to about medium-low); cut prosciutto into thin strips, add to peas and saute until glossy and opaque.

Cook ravioli according to package instructions. Drain, then add to pea mixture with last T of olive oil. Shake pan/stir/whatever works for you until ravioli are coated with oil and everything's mixed. Serve with cracked hot pepper and parmesan cheese.

Makes 4 servings.
