Gourmet Night

I hosted Gourmet Night at my house this month. I was so busy all day that I forgot to be tired and sick. It was a huge blessing! I had fun coming up with the menu this time. I only had one minor major snafu when I realized in the morning that all the homemade pumpkin ravioli that I made (and have made several times) the day before and froze had burst open! Word to the wise- do not freeze ravioli with pumpkin filling. I had to come up with a back-up plan quick, but luckily it ended up being just as yummy!
