Joann Again

I got an email on Tuesday from the shitty Fabric N Craft company I've been dealing with. My order should be delivered to my house the next day. The day after Tuesday is generally accepted as Wednesday. Great. Maybe I can start something. Had a few errands to do, but UPS usually stops by after 4pm, no biggie. No package. So I go online and track it. Delivery is schedule for Saturday. On what planet is Saturday the day after Tuesday?

I am so done with these people. Sadly they've forced just about every one else out of the local market and online fabric shopping has it's own inherent drawbacks. I was done when they cancelled the outer fabric I need for the masks, then to find out shipping was two weeks and not discounted for the delay.

Stuffed Shells

Tonight's dinner was stuffed shells. Easy. Comforting. Filling.

Stuffed pasta shells
4 servings?

Pasta shells ~12 to fill a 9x9 pan
1 egg, beaten
16oz/450g ricotta or whatever size container you have
1/4 kg mozzarella, shredded
113 grams grated parmesean
1.5 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp pepper
1 14 oz/400g jar tomato pasta sauce

Again measurements don't matter much.

1. Heat oven to 350F
2. Cook the pasta until it's a little short of done. Don't overcook or they will fall apart in oven. Drain and set aside.
3. Mix up the egg, ricotta, half the mozzarella, parmesean, parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl.
4. Stuff the shells. Get it messy. Put the shells in the pan.
5. Mix up the pasta sauce with the other half of the mozzarella. Pour it over the shells.
6. Bake in oven for about an hour.

Would have gone nicely with some crusty bread but I didn't have the energy to make any and didn't want to go out. Was just fine without. And I probably should have put tin foil over the top so it didn't dry out as much. Oh well.

Also working on a pineapple cake. I hate cutting fresh pineapple, but it's what they had. Still working on it, will let you know.

Dyed my hair as well. Dying, I should say, as I sit here with clingfilm on my head. Orchid. Won't look like the box because my hair is brown and I didn't bleach before but that's fine. Just some added interest.

Back to work tomorrow. Can't wait to see what new shit they're pulling now.
